U.S. News - Iconic skier's death points out U.S. health gap
The article is about the skier from Canada that died and talks about the money people raised to cover her medical bills, and considers that a gap in the US healthcare industry. But it shares at the bottom that she didn't have health insurance--now I have no idea if she spends much time in the US or not, and whether that is a realistic expectation for her to have it.
The part that bothers me is that the article sounds negative, but it clearly states the doctors worked really hard to save her (despite her not having insurance, etc, which is normal in the US despite our "flaws"). So, though she had medical bills, it wasn't like she was turned away or not taken care of.
It is a given that Canada and US have different healthcare systems and they both have their plus and minuses.
