I’m Canadian and had a liver transplant 2 yrs ago. I was on government disability benefits and the operation cost me nothing. I get all my anti-rejection drugs for free.

If I’d lived in the States the transplant would have cost me $250,000 and the life time medications would be costing me $2,000 a month. I would have had to sell my home.

I had to wait for the transplant a long time, but they kept me in the hospital for almost a year before to keep me alive. I’m so happy to be alive.

Yes, I am so thankful that I didn’t lose my home and I’m living life to it’s fullest. I go RVing, kayaking and after going through hell, I’m not fiancially stressed.

Yes, we have to wait too long for hip replacements, MRI’s etc., but we’re working to improve those things.

I’m Conservative, and I’m thankful for our Health Care.

So you are currently costing the Candadian government $2,000 a month to keep you alive... $24,000 a year.

Dang, you are one expensive puppy.
