I agree with yuri about things needing to be improved..hospital based infections are a huge problem..sanitary conditions need to be paramount with any and all who come into the facilities. period. much is done but more is needed. hospitals breed infection..much has to do with the architecture-many new hospitals around the world are going with one patient per room.
having seen first hand several hospitals in toronto and area in the last few years and been involved with mri/cat scans/ultrasounds/neurology/genetics/extended hospital stay and not receiving one bill even tho some appts.were along time coming, i must say that on the whole i'm very satisfied with things. 3wait times in ER were bad. all professionals were exemplary, compassionate, caring and generous with their time whether in person or on the phone.
there are those with horror stories tho..sadly.
insurance with employers helps cover dental and prescriptions..
oral surgery last week was 1700.00 and all but 200 was covered. prescription rinse was covered as well..
