Why don't you guys give Quebec the boot? As soon as you leave Ottawa and enter Hull it's as if you're in a completely different country anyway. Different language, 3rd world roads....lol

Their provincial taxes are the highest I believe, and instead of going into roads and health care, it goes into things like enforcing language laws and justifying racism through banning religious symbols but not crosses

Sure, but that's not common. I'm just wondering if it IS common there.

I think it is more common than you think in the states. There are vast healthcare deserts in the US. I think the last stat I saw was that 100 million Americans don't have access to primary care. If people aren't thinking about this when they move, they likely should be.

The people in those deserts can't afford to move.

That's sorta simplistic. Most rural areas have a healthcare shortage, rural != poor. I've lived half my life at least in super rural areas, sometimes the only person to see within a couple hours drive is a PA.

Even upstate NY sucks. I'm in MD cause there are 7 liver transplant systems, in all of upstate NY there's is one.

There is likely overlap, but still, it's 1/3 of Americans. And we aren't talking about people without access to healthcare currently. We are talking about people with healthcare who can afford to move and if they would be concerned about moving due to lack of access to healthcare wherever they go. I would be. I think others would include that in their considerations when moving within the US considering the vast healthcare deserts.

Sometimes his lack of experience is confounding.

I need someone to go to appointments w/ me (it's a requirement). My social worker suggested hiring an escort or finding an illegal. If anyone in MD is available Dec 1st >.> I'll pay for a MARC train.

Everything is possible and true. Your personal experiences lead you to believe its common, and mine suggest that it is not.

You're poor now, so you also have different experiences.

Gotta get off that Ibuprofen. It'll eat a hole in your damned stomach. It gave me acid reflux so bad that my gf and her mom took me to the ER. Had no clue what was going on

I agree...but I'm not sure what the alternative is. Naproxen doesn't touch my arthritis. Acetaminophen is a liver killer. Back to buffered aspirin?
Oxy? (Just kidding, I'm clean as a whistle).
