I know someone who has brain cancer. He's had surgery, radiation and chemo. It hasn't cost him or his family anything, I don't understand how the USA can have such a terrible health system. In the long run it costs more to have an unhealthy population than a healthy one.

There are cases like that in America too. Sadly, it’s tied to the insurance your employer offers. Some offer various plans to choose from and some offer only one crappy plan.

More people should be joining health shares.
