The US healthcare system - a quick Canadian glance.

I bet that kid is gonna have an innie belly button. That's the sign of quality work, you don't get that in canada.

[deidler]

Would it be free if it was the other way around?

I heard women from Canada go into the woods and squat into a creek to give birth.

[HaroldJackson]

Yea but I bet the hospital didn't have a dirt floor.

[deidler]

Cause if that's the case... My wife has always had our kids early and we might head to Canada, let's say, 7 and 1/2 mo.

Their nurses are penguins.

She should be able to call the provider and ask for the forms to complete. she can send in the billing etc. and claim it. then she can pay the hospital bills.

I told him the same thing, aca. He's still working on the paperwork to get his son home. First he's gotta acknowledge the kids American birth certificate, then get the baby a passport...blahblah. I think he's going to look into this.

We both know what it's like to deal with getting money out of the Canadian government, though. I also think that OHIP has provisions for this - just a matter of paperwork and legwork, and waiting.

It was just the amount that blew my mind...

I have an innie. So do my children.

I thought they squatted in between bashing in the heads of baby seals.

yeah, you have a point. we rarely ever see a bill here. the one time I had to use my plan for overseas treatment the pricetag itself nearly killed me. I don't think secondary shock death is covered



also, my aunt lived in nyc and had fibroids that needed treatment - my friends here that needed it just did it and that was it - my aunt had some crazy fucking bill that had my uncle ready to break out the blow torch for the rest of them

I'm aiming for that. I hope to have the seal skinned first though to wrap it around the kiddo.

I like the way you've thought things through. If you give birth out of seal season, a good raccoon pelt is sufficient.

They have a beaver cut the umbilical cord.

To give credit back - when my ex mother-in-law got breast cancer, assessed at 3rd stage - the waiting list for treatment in Canada was lengthy. They were willing to pay the big bucks to a US doctor, to be addressed in a faster manner, 'cause time was of the essence.

[TonyJax]

A buddy of mine's pregnant wife went to visit friends/family in the US. She wasn't due for almost 2 months, but went into early labor, and spit the kid out on US soil.

He's now looking at a $22,000 bill.

WHAT

THE

FUCK????????????

In USA dollars that is $100.00

I think she just said we be mo better???

Kids have been delivered in the back seats of a taxi.

Nobody has ever been cured of cancer in the back seat of a taxi.
