marycatherine,

I know, even my husband's employer admits that health insurance is the weakest part of the compensation package.
But it's the exact same package they offer to their employees in the US, so there is not much you can argue with...

Anyone else have any input? Anyone have any experience with the public healthcare?

And even if we opt to go to private doctor without being covered by insurance, do you think the cost will be more than $4000-$6000 per year?
