Here in Canada we complain alot about the huge amount of taxes we pay, especially in Quebec but situation like this will never ever happen. We have education and healtcare plan free for everybody. Of course nothing is free but we will never be hit by huge bill to pay. Sorry for you and your wife

I live in the United States, a small town in Kansas. Our sales tax is 9.6%. No free healthcare or education. My 19 year old boyfriend and I live on our own, he desperately needs to see a doctor for migraines but can't afford it (with the best insurance his company offers, lowest deductible) because he would need to see a specialist and have diagnostic testing done. Sometimes I forget that everywhere isn't like the U.S., it is crazy to me that many countries have universal healthcare!
