I am pushing to move my family from Canada to the US to because I am suffocating here.
But I have to spend the week or two with extended family, many of which work in the healthcare industry. I wanna know how much I would expect to pay out of pocket for health insurance/hospital visit etc.
For Americans, if you don't know, Canadians pride themselves above Americans for three things:
Healthcare being taxpayer funded and therefore "free". Even though it sucks literally shit through a straw and takes 2 years to get an MRI appt. Mostly based on that old Michael Moore documentary.
Milk quality. They made us watch some movie in school about how American milk was actually pus and not milk. Milk standards are almost equivalent between the two countries so idk where this comes from unless everyone believes the propaganda from childhood.
International "likeability". American tourists are hated but everyone likes Canadians! Might be true, but fucking who cares what third worlders think...
Reading online, people are saying $600 per person per month... Holy fuck that can't be true. If you put away 3000$ a month (5 person family) and didn't get insurance, you could fly to Colombia every month, get treated there and fly back, first class.
I wanna know real numbers from actual human beings.
