  • I didn’t. I put some on credit card that was required up front in hospital and the rest went into debt collection while I fought the insurance company for 2 years. Eventually I ended up paying about $12,000 I think.

    But the credit cards interest was more and I have been in severe debt the past decade since. All my money goes towards debt payments and bills.

    When I last visited Canada a group of old men were talking at the Canadian Tire about how long it takes to see a doctor. Were saying they need to start making people pay like they do in the States.

    Don’t fall for that propaganda. We have both long waits and pay a ton of money in the US. It can be both. I’ve had bills up to $118,000 and it can take me a year to see a specialist. I can’t find a primary care doctor and it takes several months to get in with a temporary nurse practitioner instead.
