i live in canada..but we also have a health care plan...i think its about 600 a family

that covers things like, dentist, eye glasses etc etc
some massage...but i find if you use it up, they just charge you more the next year..lol

prescriptions

Im not sure if it is worth it, or better to just pay dentist and such as you go.

For a 38 year old male, non smoker, in good shape with no pre-existing medical conditions to speak of I had to fill out a brief questionaire and take a blood test.

Coverage includes Doctor's office and home visits, private ward hospital coverage, overseas coverage (don't have to purchase travel medical), treatement in the USA for anything not available in Bermuda (including Mayo clinic and other well known facilities) and prescription coverage. Total cost Just a hair over $300 a month.

The media would have us believe that Americans get fucked right over on this. How do your costs actually compare?
