Todd -- I'...Thanks for the responses, everyone.<br /><br />Todd -- I've watched your blog with interest since you moved to Canada and I've always been particularly interested in your experiences with healthcare there.

Early retirement? Not an option due to these and pre-existing clauses I would face. Too many people have to take bankrupcy because of medical bills, some even with insurance.

Why? Because thus far I've rarely had to use it. I suspect many of that 80% are in the same boat. Maybe some minor illnesses, a few Dr's visits, not a lot of emergency or chronic care.<br /><br />That said, the one time we *did* try to use our health insurance for a five-figure bill we *Todd Tyrtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09120845677047461745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11052674.post-37900270761359007152009-08-25T14:43:35.463-05:002009-08-25T14:43:35.463-05:00I love it when Tracy gets fired up!
