its actually not free, a very common misconception. everything with health will never be free, just less expensive and free in some areas, not all.

Every time I go into one of their offices I get bent over. It's a disgrace, but when your a government sanctioned agency you can do whatever the crap you want.

Well when you have to pay $4000 for a basic surgery because the waiting list is 2 1/2 years for the free one. Because of the practically open door service everyone, and their families, and the illegals, etc. All get treated, and yes they all should, but the waits are so ridiculous.

Liberty Mutual w/ home, multi-auto and donorcycle policies. I'm not sure how much it costs since it's all rolled into one bill. It's not expensive though. I want to say the full coverage on the IDI is maybe $300/yr.

yeah i cant wait, the form was just sent to me the other day from ottawa, "as per the standing nato agreement between Canada and the U.S., the issuance of free drivers license and license plates to foreign military is mandatory due to the temporary nature of their assignments." That will make me feel so good to stick one in the eye of "the man!" hahaha
