    I can sympathize and empathize with what has been said here re: the
    current state of health care here in the U.S., the lack of affordable
    care for most but the wealthy and those employed where the employer
    is paying a large share of the the bill, and that the situation has
    been brought about by our own government both now and hundreds of
    years ago. We can't change history and only by voting and making our
    voices heard to our elected representative can we change the present.
    However, politics is not our purpose here. We are now getting off the
    topic about cruising medical insurance and health care affecting the
    cruiser world wide.

    To date, I think we have only heard about insurance in the U.S. plus
    a little about some experiences in the other parts of the world in
    general. Great information and information I have filed away for
    future use as I am sure others have also. I, and I think many of us,
    would welcome more information from residents of other countries as
    to how their system of insurance and health care affects the cruisers
    that come to their country. Please post. This is not a U.S. only list
    nor a U.S. only world. Cruisers do not just come from the U.S. nor do
    we only go to the U.S. We welcome your information and request that
    if you have information that you share it too.

    We are now straying dangerously close to politics and bashing; not
    what we are here for. At this time, it is time to step in and insist
    that we either get back on subject or start a new thread. Thanks for
    all the information and comment on this thread. It has been
    informative and enlightening.
