Doesn’t immigrating to Canada cost thousands though? I would love to move to Vancouver!

Re: health care. Sounds like it’s a systematic problem more than a front-line staff problem. It plainly is. Solution? Move to Canada! Ok, it’s not perfect, and you might wait a while, but we’ll fix you up for free and give you a sucker! Any flavour!

@Anadivine-sadistic – I understand your feelings, but you need to understand one of the basic, cold hard facts of life: there is no free lunch. Medical care costs money for a reason, and SOMEONE will always have to pay. Empathy and good intentions alone will not cure people. Doctors et al aren’t charging those prices out of greed; they’re doing it to keep their operation (no pun intended) rolling, given the constraints placed upon them by the suffocating regulatory apparatus of the Leviathan. Demanding that medical workers take a pay cut is the LAST thing that would improve the situations of poorer people, because it would only represent more administrative micromanagement of the industry (national health care by proxy), which has brought us such staggering costs in the first place due to lack of competition. The best thing for Chi and anyone else in his situation, rich or poor, is to allow doctors to set their own prices.

with traumatic brain injuries who knows if his motor functions would even allow him to play, let alone remember how to play on bass again. This is incredible news but it sucks the price you pay to stay alive and too bad this option isn’t avaiable to the middle/lower class society, then maybe my dad would still be alive, prolly not kickin n runnin but at least alive. $2000 a day for a couple months is INSANE to pay, where is the love there? they should keep fundraising but also pettition the fact that these prices are IMPOSSIBLE to pay in even a lifetime for a mediocre family and doctors/nurses/techs should take the pay decrease and actually help people instead of waiting for payment to proceed in saving a life. fuckin world is upside down

If I was in a coma from a car accident, I wonder if I would have a website and thousands of people donating all that money to keep me alive.

Best news I’ve heard all year. Positive vibes and prayers with a bit of money goes a long way. We love you Chi.
