Re: Getting older sucks esp in the US

Canadian here. I don't know how Americans can handle it. I don't mean it in a smug way, and I understand why it's difficult to implement socialized medicine in the US political climate. Your medical system just seems so damn unfair.

American here and yes, it sucks. Husband lost his job and health insurance just before I had a follow up scan after a mammogram. The radiologist said there was a dark spot and just wanted to make sure it was OK. We sat on the couch and cried, wondering if we could afford to pay out of pocket for the follow up mammogram or if we should put it off, or if we were making a mistake to put it off because what if it's cancer?

Tl;dr - I'm fine, health insurance only just covered it. But our health care system is broken. Nobody should have to consider delaying or skipping important preventative health visits or testing because they're worried about the cost.
