Hi Heather, I had heard that you pay a lot of taxes toward your socialized medicine. Is this correct? I am not sure if you can respond as far as whether the taxes would be higher than what we pay here though, unless you are aware of them. Insurance coverage is a really tough issue, and I would not expect for us to find a perfect solution. We have gotten used to a certain standard of care of the U. S. as far as the availability of tests are concerned. We also know that there are many unnecessary tests run to fill the doctors pocketbooks with extra appointments and kickbacks from the labs. Unfortunately, when a doc says that people need tests, they don't always question why. I don't know the answer to the question, except that I love my doctors and my insurance is working for me right now for the medical and prescription end of it. I'd hate to have to change it, but that's a selfish answer. However, as we've all learned, anything is subject to change at anytime. Hugs, Barbara A
