In case you need to hear this. Here in New Zealand, I had an unknown to me heart attack, doctor called the ambulance, me straight to hospital, open heart surgery, recouped in hospital for a week, and then 2 months rest at home. The doctor's visit cost me $15, ambulance $88 but the government covered that, bypass surgery and 2 weeks in hospital is all free, and the 2 months at home I was paid 80% of my income by the government. The idea of having to get insurance in case you get sick is unknown outside the USA and maybe some weird third world countries. You really need to overhaul your systems. In the rest of the western world no one ever goes bankrupt from needing medical care.
The country I live in has had a massive increase in immigration applications from American people. This please us because we prefer 'y'all' to people from Africa and the Middle East because you actually share our culture, have the same gods, the same way of treating young girls, same way you don't want to kill us off. Not sure if you can get the free health care here though, we've been paying taxes since we started working ... you have too but to the US government ... not sure how it would work then ... maybe there is another reason so many of you are moving here ?
