Canadian here: it's just as bad even with universal healthcare.
- taneq 8y agoWhat? $15k+ for a kid's broken arm?
- glibgil 8y agoNo, the kids aren't roaming in Canada either
- taneq 8y agoOh, right. Yeah, that would make sense. I think it's largely due to the ever increasing range and sensationalism of reporting - 50 years ago you'd only hear about the rare incident in your own hometown, and maybe particularly lurid events nationwide. Now a kid comes to grief on the other side of the world and you hear about it, leading to a grossly inflated perception of the risks.
