As a Canadian, I will always find that absolutely unbelievable about American private health care … when someone or a family is at their lowest and during the most terrible times of their lives and health care people go up to them and say … ‘We’re sorry for your suffering and your loss … but here’s the medical bill you owe money on’

I remember reading about something along those lines a few years ago.
When we were kids running around with our childhood friends every summer, we thought it would never end, that we would be and stay friends forever.
Then one day, we run home, wave goodbye and say ‘see you later!’ … and without us knowing, or being aware of it, that was the last time we saw our childhood friend.
We might have lived next to one another, or went to the same high school later on or even went to the same college … we never saw our friend again.
We never knew and we were never aware of when we said goodbye or saw our friend for the last time.
I think about my old childhood friends … I’m middle aged now … some of those friends died young, some got married and had a bunch of kids … a few had hard lives and became addicts … one of them is a vegetable after having suffered an overdose … and many of them just went on and had small families and did OK.
