        I just don't get it. In Germany something like that could never happen. How can a "normal" person pay that much money? Can someone please explain this to me? I'm seriously curious.

        Many can't and must file for bankruptcy. People sell their houses and vehicles and anything worth money if they can't afford it. Medical bankruptcy is one of the most common forms of bankruptcy in this country. :/

        It's pretty terrible, yes. That we don't have some sort of nationalized/public health service for the population by now is the very definition of insanity, but, here we are, squeezing blood from stones.

        As a brazilian I cannot even imagine such a thing. My grandmother had leukaemia and after the first blood test she had EVERY treatment she would need: doctors, chemo, even painkillers and a multidisciplinar approach.

        I recently thought I had sprained my ankle but had, in fact, broken it. I went to the ER where I had a consultation with a nurse, 3 x-rays, saw an ER doctor who consulted via phone with an orthopedic surgeon. The break wasn't bad enough for surgery but I still needed to 1/

        follow up with the orthopedic surgeon at a later date. Two days later his office called with an appointment in 2 weeks time. At that appointment I had 3 more x-rays, met with the surgeon, and had a consultation with a physiotherapist. All no charge. This is in Canada.

        In Canada? Where we in the U.S. hear constantly there are 8 week waits if you come down with a sore throat? IOW, what we hear here is all b.s. - thank you for confirming what we suspected, our neighbor to the north is a GREAT place.

        Before my mom was discharged to palliative care at home, the following was delivered to us: a hospital bed, boxes of supplies for her nurses, and all necessary meds. We never saw a bill. We live in Canada. Our system is not perfect but it is damn good.
