1. Comment...
last year, my 4 year old daughter had a seizure and fell unconscious. We called an ambulance - 2 turned up at our house within 10 minutes. One ambulance then took my daughter to the main children's hospital in our city, where my kid was treated and tested. She went home early in the morning.

Cost to us? Zip. zilch. nada. And we have NO health insurance.

Our federal government pays the doctors for consultations, and our public hospitals are free and paid for by the state government. What the hell are Americans thinking???
