I'm Canadian but I know a few Americans :p

In one case; friend has absolutely stellar health insurance-has heart attack falls of bike and spends an uncomfortably long time on hot pavement; rushed to hospital, resuscitated, treated for burns; the receiving hospital was not covered by his plan - 3/4 of a million for treatment; fortunately he did get shipped to a hospital under his coverage for recovery.

I shudder to think that that is the "best health care" in the world; how many ppl plan for $750,000 dollar hit? how many can afford it? and this, despite having coverage that costs more than my yearly income! I hope Obama injects some sanity into American Health Care.
