National Health Care 1/14/06
We are the only country in the industrialized world that doesn’t have a national health system.
A reporter from the San Francisco Chronicle who lived in Canada and in the U.S. tells the story of two female friends that both had the same devastating cancer. The difference was profound.
His Canadian friend was able to focus completely on healing her virulent cancer, because she was completely supported by the government and the Canadian health care system, whereas his American friend spent all of her time worrying and had to focus on paying bills and fighting the health care system, instead of healing her cancer.
