It's a horrible thing to need help and not know if you can afford it.

Despite of the fact that I'm a Toronto Life Insurance Broker and don't want to look like a hypocritic, the results of this study are shocking. You can't force people, especially the older generation, to have private health insurance. For such a developed country as the U.S., I think that providing regular cancer screening is a must.
