One in the Yukon, my oldest was deathly ill 8 months old vomiting heavily high fever 60 below zero. Hospital emergency room vist USD $67 Doctor $25.Ontario 3 Years ago two down with pnemonia $245 for emergency room at xmas. Florida Me last year emergency room with contract $745 $3500 without pre-negotiated contract. I suspect the difference in the US Canadian dollar amounts is Malpractice Insurance Rates.
Maybe we need to have the states contract with the Hospitals and Docs for an uninsured pool. If CIGNA can get a $745 dollar contract why should an uninsured person hafta pay $3500 and hounded by creditors until they die?
thanx,
bill
