My mom lives paycheck to paycheck. She found a lump in her breast. She went to charity hospital to have it checked. They immediately did everything that needed to be done. Lumpectomy, and lymph node removal and testing revealed it was indeed breast cancer. They immediately started radiation treatment. After all is said and done, my mom has been cancer free and healthy for 8 years. She had a lymph node swell again 2 months ago. They did all testing immediately (again) and determined it was not cancer this time. She has mammograms twice a year to make sure all is well. Her total cost = $0.00
As for Canada, you can call it "free healthcare", but in reality it is not free at all. Everyone pays for that healthcare. That means, if I never use it, I am paying for everyone else to use it. How is that "free" to me??
