Canadian care treats people like people

My family and I moved to the States in 1968 from Canada. I was 4 years old.

We were healthy North Americans with affordable health care. What happened in 41 years is a disgrace to the word Americans.

Short and to the point, we are the only industrial nation that does not take care of their own providing a non profit health care system. Why? Greed.

I am fortunate that I am healthy. But if I get sick I lose my house. The bank loses money because I am left with no other choice to go back to Canada where I still have health care rights and I am treated like a human being not a dollar amount.

Maybe I should become a politician to get the best health care.
