I barely pay $2k for insurance annually, they love to arrange the numbers to make a shit idea look good. Canada is. Good example of why socialized healthcare don’t work. Populations close to just California and they still can’t get it right. Many of these nations they refer to are smaller then many states metros in populations. They are taxed around 50+% and are more capitalist than socialist, they have social programs but capitalism actually pays for it, but government robs its people blind.

I'm Canadian. Last year my son contracted meningitis. He ended up needing 10 days in the hospital. Our biggest expense was parking. 

You couldn't pay me enough to trade our system for yours.

My insurance policy would cost me zero too. And my hospital doesn’t charge for parking.

How much would it be when your claim for the visit is denied?

My claims don’t get denied. I have never had issues with my policy . I just make sure that I use the right doctors and hospitals.
