I guess your premiums are either much higher then the "average" blue-liner ($35,000), or you are paying out of pocket/being subsidized in some other way for some of the Tysabri costs then . . .?

I'm curious too though, Vic, you said you hang onto this insurance partially for your wife's sake (don't know the exact wording), so that she may not be left with debt should something happen . . .

If one is on the "public" medical system (whichever one, not with private insurance) would that not cover off all medical expenses in the event of an emergency? What goes down for the people who are disabled and dependant on that system, if something really bad happens? Do they accumulate a debt?

I am always learning something new about how things work down there.
