Still think it should have been 250$ US. reportquote

Our economy is garbage it's strange your would say that before saying Switch is garbage considering how flawed, faulty and outdated the system, lacking standard features other platforms have, and expecting you to pay that much for it.  even in US prices it is a scam and shameful for what it's selling for.

Um... it covers anything that you go to a hospital for anything, for and appointments and under some circumstances, eye exams. I could go in for heart surgery, doesn't cost me a dime. Have Cancer? Treatments are covered. Popping out children? They just smile when it comes out and congratulate you. The only stuff that isn't covered is dental, most eye exams and meds/ prescription drugs.

Even with whats covered, we are still spending a LOT of our income on 'basic' healthcare that sucks, essentially. My mother has been waiting years for a knee surgery, and my father waited 20+ years to have shoulder surgery... and he had about 6 different operations because they couldnt get it right the first time. --- MaverickXeo --- reportquote
