Well, I paid my bills today. Another $44.00 to Alberta Health Care. And I couldn't help but wonder what our american counterparts (or for that matter, our provincial counterparts) pay for health care or insurance.
In Alberta, a single, 26 year old person pays $44.00 per month. I never really complained about this before, but I'm starting to scratch my head a little. I spoke to my mother today (also an Alberta resident), who was ticked off that she waited 4 hours at a clinic to see the doctor.
How much do the rest of you people pay for this service? What is this advantage that we Albertans and Canadians think we have? Is American insurance so much more expensive per month? Why does my friend from Winnipeg not pay a nickle to AHC?
