Thank you. I am so bookmarking this. I still haven't replaced my printer. I need my mom to read this. She's so freaked out about losing her insurance due to the Healthcare Law or more accurately afraid she will lose it. She gets her info from Faux News so no wonder she's confused. She's also very fortunate. She has very shiny insurance, since she retired from a Pharmaceutical Company. She was all put out when they made changes that most people have had to live with for years if not decades. She keeps talking about having her health care rationed it they make more changes. She doesn't know how an HMO works and she isn't even close to that. I just can't convince her that the Canadian system is far superior to what we have for most people. Not everybody has really good insurance, ma, or any at all. I'm lucky. Mine is pretty good, but I'd trade it in for what Canadians have in a heartbeat.
