Health care in America is great, if you have top notch insurance, or can afford out-of-pocket expenses. It is somewhat the same everyplace in the world, except most people are covered, regardless, by some state run plan. In Russia, I have read that doctors make about the equivalent of an average person in the states. The hooker is that they get money "under the table" from private patients. There is no way they can afford a new Mercedes, two homes, and a great life style on 20K a year.
Hope your friend gets good care.

For those who might be late comers to this board, Dory was a poster who we will remember as one who gave of herself so others survivors might smile. She always kept this board moving with her inspirational poems, jokes and riddles. Most will give Dory credit for energizing this board. She was an inspiration to everyone on this board. In that spirit, let us
continue to post in Dory’s memory so she might smile down on us and give us the same inspiration. Therefore, we have named the board, Dory's Board, in her memory. 11/11/01 (Dory was the first to call attention to the significance of 9/11, re: WTC tragedy, i.e. 911 for emergency). Let me be the first to note all the ones in the above date, indicating she was No. 1 on our board.
