I think Courtney really nailed this for me. I posted in like page 3 or 4 the taxes we Cdn's pay then later the taxes the US pays. I couldn't believe how much taxes Americans were paying. I know it's been said some people are paying anywhere from $1200-$2500 a. month.  for health insurance. I don't honestly understand what is going on the US. I don't understand how people survive because that's not including food, car, rent/mortgage or fun stuff. Also, if people aren't getting UHC &/or emergency services, I just don't understand how the people have put up with all of this. God forbid there is a legal case. I just don't understand the American system. If their gov't's are that inept, I can understand why UHC would be something to be afraid of.
