You know Guy, when I was in England for instance, I got sick real bad one day (probably from them street side Kabob joint's I used to eat at frequently, kind of like street side NYC Coney joint's) in my stomach, my friend Kam (Londoner) took me to one of the local hospital's, they waited on me quickly, didnt ask for insurance, no paper work or deductible's, part a,b,c shit or whatever, just my passport/ ID, gave me a antibiotic type script, that I filled at a pharma joint connected to it, which was the only thing I had to pay for, about 5/6 pound's only ... nothing else Dude, I couldnt believe it, Kam said it was like that all over town. My sister in law and her hubby are both RN's in Toronto, the same thing basically (I stayed in Toronto as well as Montreal). A friend will be up here in Dallas with me next week from Monterrey, MX ... he also has went over the HC there in Mexico with me, he carries a national card "Instituto Mexicano Del Seguro Social", look's like a drivers liscense basically, you can go anywhere's in Mexico and use it, fee's are auto taken out like SSI here, out of your paycheck if you work (he also get's a monthly electric/ utilities subsidie, and the gvmnt regulate's the price of petrol/ gas as well as tortilla's down there, so the market's dont just milk ya) but he went over with me in detail how to use the system and how it work's.Ranch Chimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086251248546955720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171776489221716830.post-87272641983712157532011-09-30T05:49:31.063-07:002011-09-30T05:49:31.063-07:00So you *don't* want to assign a monetary value...So you *don't* want to assign a monetary value to each individual human being?
