Fine but we weren't discussing cost of living. Dollar for dollar my income in Ontario would be taxed over 12% more than here. I can buy health and dental coverage for 4 people with that difference. |

That's why I always buy supplemental travel insurance when i go down there, despite the fact that I have it through my company policy also. One crash on the bike and a broken limb later, and I could be looking at a $50K medical bill.

I have absolutely nothing to add to the insurance thing, I'm government property and am insured as such. They'll keep me alive by any means necessary until they get the passwords.

A % of Medical cost is part of my compensation. Otherwise I'm looking at $700-$1000 for medical insurance. If I were to skip insurance and just pay for individual service rendered per vist (shudders)
Anethesioligists charge about what...$6000 an hour not included materials? Doctors - 200-3000 an hour? |
