[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an American with German, French, and Canadian family, by marriage and extended. Many immigrants to these countries from elsewhere, so came to these nations from elsewhere (about half from oppressive communist countries). Guess what. They're doing well. Health care, child care, family leave, wages, education... They thrived. I received sad looks of condolence when I returned to work after 9 weeks post c section after baby 1, and considered quitting work after baby 2. My description of our college savings plans were met with gasps: HOW much does university cost??? When foreign grandparents got cancers or heart disease, their health care was covered, period. How bad is that life? Not bad at all...[/quote] Are you familiar with Medicare? The elderly are covered here too and have been for decades. [/quote] No exactly. I still work and pay $503 a month for Medicare, $2,023 a year or supplemental coverage and $53.00 monthly for drug coverage. My doctor will not accept Medicare, so I pay him out of pocket. How is this free?[/quote] You must have a very high income. I pay $105 a month for Medicare, $109 a month for Blue Cross supplemental coverage, and $35 a month for a Blue Cross RX plan. I go to the Mayo system which accepts Medicare and with my supplement I have no out of pocket expenses, not deductible or co-pays. Prescriptions however do have a deductible.[/quote]
