There are many reason why I don't want to live in the US and this is a
perfect example of one of them.
You are certainly lucky to have single payer universal health care in Canada. If we,
someday, develop a civilized health care policy here in the U.S.A., I'm sure that we
would still need to purchase caller's insurance. Though I expect that it would be
even cheaper than it is currently. We could still be sued, but not for medical expenses.
Contra dances--and many other community events--would be easier and probably less
expensive to organize.
Just a thought,
