Sorry, Canadian... Are you saying that to get healthcare you have to pay this company, out of your own pocket, a grand a month? And just hope they don't deny etc and forget about any deductible?

It gets worse as you get older too. My dad was 1 month over 70 and they denied him a lung replacement because he was too old. He died 6mos later. Paid into the system since he was 25.

This is essentially current corporate culture and all mega corps operate like this. Health just exposes how mental I'll this behavior is.
