ReplyDeleteI live foreign, a country with a mainly White population, everyone speaks the English language, metric measurements including money (dollars, in other words) ... basically a normal Western country.
I had a trip in an ambulance a few years ago, an hour and 10 minutes, 105 kilometres, guess about 539 miles ... the bill came 6 weeks later, $88, paid it and the government reimbursed me 2 weeks later.
The heart bypass I had was free, obviously.
What the heck are you guys paying taxes for is your medical costs are not covered ?

Excellent story on “ice cream”.
