    Would that not have happened in the UK too? I mean i guess depending on how recent, cause i know the NHS is being gutted.

    But like, I’m Canadian, and my brother had brain surgery to remove a cancerous tumour. I would not have been born if my parents got saddled with millions in debt from that. They’re certainly not wealthy enough to have private insurance - although tbf that’s not a normal thing here compared to the states because the government provides everyone with free insurance with tax money. But even if it was so normalized, my parents would not have had private insurance.

    Whatever, point is I think having your life financially ruined by getting cancer is an America thing (and many poor countries unfortunately)
