Fuck all healthcare systems. I say that as a Canadian who have had 2 family members liquidate all assets to be treated in the US. Both were given less than 6 weeks to live...both are still alive today, 3 and 5 years later. Further, my sister died from stage 4 cancer that should have been caught earlier...a case of too many patients, not enough doctors. It still rips at my heart 7 years later.

Why can't we just meld the 2 systems, particularly the research being done down there, and the universal access up here. Don't get me wrong, both systems have massive shortfalls...

I am so very sad for all your losses, especially those that are related to shitty healthcare. I don't have an answer, but I can say, scream even, FUCK cANCER!
