    As a Canadian, the idea of paying thousands, even in Canadian dollars, for a single healthcare visit, seems absolutely insane to me.

    I can’t imagine living under that kind of threat. I would be deathly scared of getting injured, by no fault of my own, and ending up in the poor house as a result. Forget having any… More voluntary… medical costs, like having a child. I couldn’t imagine doing that knowing what it would cost me.

    Honestly, if I was in that situation, I’d be scared of doctors too. Having to choose between having good health but being unable to afford the basics, or living with disorder or disease, would probably break me.
