[lbo-talk] Canada-US health care (was Vive La France!)

[Marvin Gandall]

What would mid-range health coverage (more than basic, less than premium) 
typically cost for, say, a couple in their 40's with two teenage kids? Are 
there big regional variations? Wouldn't the department of Health and Human 
Services have accessible data on what % of the pop is insured and the per 
capita cost of health insurance broken down by scope of coverage?
