    10 weeks vs 38 weeks. Lets see what Canadians pay for their "free" health care.

    The cost for 2 adults without children is $11,381, that's $5690.50 per adult or $474.20 per adult per month in higher taxes to pay for Government "free" universal health care. Right now my employer pays $465 and I pay $64 which will drop to $32 a month once I lose weight and fit into their "health" matrix.

    Americans pay with their lives. They go without medicine and procedures because they can't afford it. For some it's just financial ruin

    Funny, they can afford to to make Verizon, direct tv, Nike, LeBron James, Brad Pitt, Phillip Morris, Carnival Cruise Lines, Apple, Bank of America, Pixar, PepsiCo, Justin Timberlake, and Anheuser-Busch InBev extremely rich

    Before or after they've bought a lifetime of smokes, booze, cable, internet, sporting and entertainment events, vacations in Cancun, trips to Disney and homes at 5x mean income?

    Fair is letting them regret a lifetime of poor financial decisions

    So... you think your anecdotal experience is a good indicator of average Americans’ cost that you can compare to the numbers in this article? Because it’s not. It’s disingenuos.

    You can never tell if someone is lying but if that's truly what you're paying then consider yourself VERY lucky. I work for a healthcare provider and my premium is 364/month with a 3k deductible. I think most americans are paying a few hundred per month with a deductible 2-4x mine. I don't know who you work for but you are not in a typical situation. Our healthcare system IS broken. There's no question.

    No. The function of the government is to sustain itself, to bloat and to make life more difficult for its subjects, in order to justify its perpetual expansion. You're welcome.

    Where do you people get these rates? I pay $1,490/mo for family of two, jumping to over $1,700 next year... I'd be happy as a clown with anything under $1k/mo!
