I'm always a bit confused by the way Health Insurance is handled in the States.

I'd say the that company was blatantly discriminatory and hypocritical, but that's the way the health insurance companies roll as far as I'm aware.

Dude.

That makes two of us. I'm very thankful of our Health Care system here in Canada. It's flawed, I know, but I also know that without it, my Dad would've died about 14 years earlier than he did, when he first got sick when I was 10. And I probably never would've identified and then gotten my own bout with cancer treated. I really feel for the Americans. I don't know how they can manage it if they're not rich.

I've lived in the US all my life and I'm confused by it.
