I went to the doctor in my country with a sore wrist. I got prescribed an anti inflammatory medication. The pharmacist split the pills up into individual bags to help track what I should take each day.
Masses of tests culminating in 9 months of chemo on magrath, multiple meds and hospital stays from complications including two stints in ICU, CAT scans, blood tests, etc etc. $0 AUD at one of the best cancer care hospitals in the world.
Oh and i also received federal disability payments because i couldn’t work.
Meanwhile in America, we had to take my daughter to the hospital to have a penny unstuck from the roof of her mouth. The only reason I couldn’t get it out is because she was being hysterical and nearly hurt herself in the process. Removing it took 2 mins, a suction tube, and a q-tip. It cost us $300 out of pocket.

The whole thing including medicine cost me $5 USD
Damn, that sounds nice. Medication is one area where we still get fucked in Canada.
