There is a 7500 deductible if I ever have to go to the hospital. I hope I can stay well for 3 months ... knock on wood!

Anyone who complains how bad our Canadian health care is should read the above. My brother has told me horror stories about the heath insurance you have Stateside. He'd be up the river without a paddle if he didn't have coverage from his employer. In a way he says it holds employees hostage to their employer because of the needed coverage. Getting a job with benefits is a must he says.
