   This is concerning and I am sorry for your medical bills.   
      
   When I was in the hospital wondering what it would cost if I was where you     
   are.   
      
   If you come to Canada you will be issued a special number and you will be     
   treated for anything, for free for life. (I asked)  It's just a fact that     
   I did not know. I was surprised. I know a few Americans who moved here for     
   the Sociaized medicine out of need. I think I would confirm what that lady     
   said to me.   
      
   Ambulance was $150   
      
   It is a drag when you possibly can't work and you need the services you     
   can't afford because you aren't. I know some Americans who are in that     
   boat.   
      
   France has a wonderful medical system and housing and...............   
   My son lived there for a while living in a camper while teaching school.   
      
   I hear Cape Breton Nova Scotia is nice this time of year   
      
      
    Cheers,

   My mother died of Congestive Heart Failure, she thought is was a flu.

   It pleases me that you have some support.
