Cycling clothing- have enough, no need

[shootingstar]

My sons will love this- they all dream about biking in Canada- they keep telling me it is THE freeride heaven (:

Medical care isn't that simplistic. But yes, if one is a taxpayer paying annual taxes to the Canadian provincial & federal govn't or a child living with a Canadian taxpayer, health care costs is not the same as the U.S. ....not even an annual basis.

If you are a foreigner just visiting, you will get billed from a Canadian hospital. (I know this: my sister is a doctor.)

For example: Dental care in Alberta is the highest of most provinces: there's no cap on dental fees. If one doesn't have employer benefit, then it could be over $400.00 just to clean your teeth.

ANd I probably would have to pay some money for an ambulance ride but not the same as the U.S. List goes on.

(Didn't Obamacare come first before the concept of Romneycare? Best wishes to the U.S....)

In the past few years, I spent more money on cycling clothing, shoes than I did on dressy/business wear/fashion shoes. That's where the spending priorities went. I view the costs...like equipping a car, etc.
