So are you going to knock anything off if I don't want the themes Mr nice man Scott??? Probably not but hey it's worth asking.

I'll probably look at the trial when it's available. Of course, it'll be full price then and even more out of reach! I'm just in a tight spot now till I start getting a paycheck.

Yeah terrible bills there Gunsmoke, hopefully you can start recovering, so you can spend more on CC:lol:

Don't know where the post of the original is, but ran an anti-virus check, nothing found at this end, no threats, no warnings nothing

Yea Gunsmoke, Sorry to hear about those expensive hospital bills. It really makes me appreciate my "free" medical care in Canada. Not really free because we are taxed to death on everything to pay for it. But yea at least I don't have to goto the hospital and worry about a huge bill when im done.

So does your healthcare system run like the NHS over here Steve?

Not sure how yours runs but basically our Health system is taxed right out. Because its free there are so many people going to the hospital that shouldn't be and tying up our emergency rooms. Right now there is an average 11 hour wait in emergency to see a doc.

The biggest thing that pays for our medical system besides our regular taxes is our SIN taxes. They inflate prices of things that are known to hurt your health the most. So a single pack of smokes(cigarettes) right now today is $15 Canadian (about 75% tax) and Liquor at about the same rate.

So if you don't drink or smoke your benefiting in more than one way.

Steve, that still sounds like a better plan than we've got. But I do have a pretty good plan with Blue Cross/Blue Shield. They actually pay quite a bit. I've got over $100,000 in billing so far but not a single bit has been billed to me yet. Looks like at the end of things I'll probably pay around $3000 for the whole episode. I hope. that won't be to bad if I get back to work. If my short term disability claim ever gets approved, that'll pay me about $500/week which will really help out.

Yeh similar thing really. So the moral of the story is dont smoke and moderate in drinking habits. I dont do either I like a drink but cant ccoz of the tablets Im on

Drugs and booze. Kind like the 'mushroom' effect eh?
