You go, girl! BTW I believe that the American way of "health care" is great as long as you're healthy and have great insurance plus cash to cover the rest... not so much when you're broke or have an actual problem and need an appointment within the next six months. Also, with long Covid, no doctor I've seen so far has helped at all.. just "more testing is needed." Someone in this forum said "We are our own doctors..." and I believe this is largely true. I live in a major metro area in the US with "access" to "good" health care, when I can crowbar my way in. Love the positive attitudes that this forum is full of; you all are inspiring. (Gratitude!)

Thank you. You really hit the nail on the head.

I agree that this forum is awesome! I'll share that when my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2017, because we'd chosen a REALLY good supplemental insurance to go along with his MediCare, his treatments at Stanford Medical Center in Palo Alto, CA. came to a half million dollars and we didn't owe one cent out of pocket. Our only expense was our 1 1/2 long lodging. The same thing happened when I was hospitalized and had 2 medical procedures for a tumor in my liver -- no out of pocket expenses. The one advantage to getting older is excellent insurance options -- expensive but definitely worth it if one ends up with something serious.
