Have you or has anyone you know made an insurance claim following an injury? My father was in a vehicle that was rear-ended by a van, suffered a severe back injury, and to be honest has actually ruined his own life psychologically and now physically (and it has affected the lives of others, which I’ll describe some day). It took him four years to settle with insurance, receiving only a fraction of what his plan was supposed to offer.

In the Unites States, health care is pretty much the same. If you don’t have insurance, you’re fucked if you contract a long-term illness. If you do have insurance, they’ll blame some fabricated “pre-existing condition” that usually does not apply, in order to make it so that the sick don’t get their coverage. In all honesty, even Canadian insurance companies are disgusting.

The worst part? That New Brunswick lost out on the chance to have a government-run insurance option in 2004.

I would dare think that if people would be generally more informed and cared a little more about how their country was run, life would be much better.
