I'm aware of that, but without looking I think it pays 80% of most things after the deductible.

You don't think they'll send me a bill if I owe them money?

More like send you to collections and tank your credit.
in my country we have guaranteed healthcare. free choice of doctor and hospital. in most provinces, citizens dont pay a monthly fee for health care. the max you can pay where im from is $80 per month. some doctors are drop in, some you have to book ahead a few weeks. you can see the emergency room any time. some things are not included in the healthcare. medicine is quite expensive up here, but not as bad as usa. i think old people get their medicine covered by guarantee. right now i have my longest wait ever to see a specialist i booked a month or 2 ago, and will see him in november. its not an emergency, but that is the worst ever wait ive had.
they are defunding the system up here and trying to privatize it like in america for profit. the citizens overwhelmingly support government healthcare.

Please go back to trolling the UPS people. We are well aware of our inferior healthcare. I'm sure the only FedEx person here who cares about Canadian healthcare is @dezguy
please tell me what they pay you per hour at fedex

We deliver lots of expensive medicine and medical equipment to some of the finest trailer parks and slums on the planet to people who don't pay for them. They don't take care of themselves at all and spend lots of time in doctors' offices, urgent clinics, and emergency rooms, where they are given great care and equally good advice.
Which they ignore.

It comes in handy if you want to borrow a bunch of money. I don't want to. I aspire to have a credit score of zero as far as the folks at Experian and the other 2 agencies are concerned.
interesting. ive heard alot of other things about your system.
but thats probably true in some sense. diet is a big part of being healthy, smoking, etc.

Oh, you mean the WalMart workers and FedEx Ground employees who don't have any benefits and can't afford a house? Subsidized healthcare, Denial...as in our tax dollars.
Stupid RTW states and Republicans can't see the obvious.

I just realized I misread your question. All I will say is I'm not being paid near enough.
Spot on Mr. Fedex. It's called corporate welfare. Low wage employers whose employees have to rely on public benefits. I get a big laugh out of X's and WalMart's well promoted efforts in the area of a cleaner environment especially cleaner air. Before you applaud them glance look over at their employee parking lots and feast your eyes on their old smokey polluting worn out junk cars that barely pass inspection. But that's all they can afford.
Crazy stuff. As employers have raised their deductibles considerably and it has had the desired affect of people using healthcare less, it seems upfront a win for the employer. However in time, medicine will just raise their costs more as less procedures done will just cost more per procedure to compensate for the revenue lost. So in the end the employer is in the same place and the employee still in a worse one. I do feel social medicine is the answer, that is a way of getting health care for all, when needed and in takes this variable burden away from the employer. However they will have to compensate some in the form of income to balance it out.
You have low standards then, you are starting to act like a battered victim that is defending the abuser. Common health care insurance is severely lacking, far from great and ideal health insurance. You need to read up on what the rest of the world thinks about it, they are shocked at what can happens to an American with an unfortunate situation. Story after story of exuberant costs that have bankrupted Americans where our counterparts have none of these surprise costs that can cost them everything they have, the stress and guilt administered. Something that can cost 100K here costs 5k elsewhere and then they still don't have to pay on that 5K.
This video gives examples of things many worry about but "they" say doesn't happen. That the initial bill is very high, we pay our 10-30% of that high bill, as that is our responsibility on the plan and the company then negotiates after that (ouch) for a much reduced cost, to the point you spent well more than the employer did. How we are told it is supposed to work is we pay our percentage of the final cost and the employer the rest, not two separate cots. If this video is true, this is why things are very expensive, in general we are paying for the majority of the procedure as well as the insurance for it. And that is after we take care of the growing deductible pain.
