For those of you who don’t know, living and being born in Canada is a priviledge when it comes to health care because when you are a kid, all your medical bills are paid for by the government. No health insurance is needed for the ordinary stuff but of course if you had asthma like my papa had when he was young and needed the puffer machine.. that is where the health insurance would have come in handy.
In mama’s home country.. health care is taken care of by their Medisave ..and it is from her salary.. and her employer who contributes towards that medisave. But mama said.. hospital and medical care is way better back home .. and she misses that. Even though we are not charged any lesser here for our health care.. we don’t get the quality and up to date machines that mama get from her home country.
