Let me tell you about *my* sister, who lives here in the US in Ohio.
Over the past two years she has needed to have four major operations
for endomitriosis.  She's 24 years old, and works as a dental
hygenist.  The first operation was covered by insurance.  The insurance
company promptly decided they should double the rates for the small
dental office, forcing them to switch to another insurance company.
But wait, ever hear of PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS?  That's right.  Since
my sister had previously had an operation, the new insurance company
wouldn't cover her.  She's now paying $500 a month out of her $24,000 a
year salary to pay off the hospital, and has had to move back with her
in-laws to make ends meet!


She now works full time, but has NO insurance because the US Insurance
Companies are allowed to get away with immoral behavior that *should*
be illegal.  The whole purpose of insurance is share the cost of health
care among everyone in the population, so no one person's life is
ruined with devastating health costs.  What good is the US system when
people who work for small businesses and don't make a fortune are
screwed?  To everyone who thinks the US system is working, I hope
someday *you* loose your health care and need to go the doctor, and
see what happens to a large percentage of the US population.

My western contact from Rec.sport.hockey couldn't find any kind of 
MRI listing in the Canadian Almanac, but we're still exploring your
statement.  Since Dennis G. Shea has already posted American G.A.O.
numbers on there being 7 MRI centres (with more than one MRI unit per
centre likely) in Ontario (pop. ~8 Million), and there are at least
two known MRI's for the western provinces of Saskatchewan (one is
private, ??? public) and Manitoba (one public, ??? private) with a
combined pop.  ~1.8 Million, with all due respect only 1 MRI for
Montreal (pop. 2.5 Million) in a wealthy province of 6 Million
(Quebec) really gets me curious ...

I'm only interested in the numbers, but this is turning out to be as
hard as tallying up the number of snow tires since we don't have any
kind of Big Brother Central up north to spit out exact numbers (many
private health facilities don't get counted, only the public ones).

Follow-ups to Talk.politics.misc later, whether from me or Stewart
Clamen (whichever one of us gets in contact with our respective MD
contacts first).

A more correct question is "How many people develop illnesses 
which require an MRI to diagnose?" Neurological or otherwise, 
if you can't get to an MRI, you can't get to an MRI.

Only according to the Quebec payment schedule for such treatment. If 
the US hospital charged more than the Quebec schedule allowed for payment, 
then the difference would have to be made up somewhere. Then there's 
travel expenses (gas, room, board), which also take $$. 

I know there are cases where the provincial medical insurance 
plan will pay for costs of treating someone outside the country, 
but that's only if there is no-one in the province capable of 
providing the service. If the equipment's there, but has a 6 
month waiting list, then they won't pay more than their schedule
towards the expense. 

My family found this out when we wanted to get a no-longer needed 
implant removed from my sister's back. The doctor who had placed 
it in had moved down to Texas, and the fighting we'd have to go 
through to get OHIP to pay the costs would've been staggering to 
say the least. 

On getting back into town during one of her vacations, they even 
tried to bump her surgery a couple of times.

It wasn't a pleasant experience.

Organization: Transact Software

I need the services of an individual who can provide me with
two services at the same time: Alpha testing some software we're
developing for a client and documenting that same software.

The software is under development as I write this, and is
changing pretty dynamically right now.  But the client wants
at least some decent minimal documentation and on-line help
(we're using Word for Windows and a package called Doc-To-Help),
and has asked us to provide it.  We also need someone who can
deal with software that is likely to be a bit buggy and needs to
be shaken out, although I do not need someone with a strong
technical background.

Our environment is MS Windows 3.1 and Visual Basic.  I'd like to
have someone in here in our offices on a daily basis in order to
be able to discuss bugs or design issues and participate in the
ongoing efforts.  So the overall job description is something like:

    - good writing skills and an ability to effectively
      communicate system functionality to non-technical
      users.
    
    - some technical background or experience at the user
      level (no development or programming experience needed).
    
    - a willingness to hammer at software that is under development
      in order to find bugs and enable the developers to effectively
      reproduce and fix them.
    
I need this person for about two months, and have a limit on the
rates I can pay that are quite reasonable but that I THINK will
eliminate anyone senior.  But, regardless, if you're interested
shoot me a resume (preferably by email or fax) with a cover note.  

PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE SUNNYVALE (or at least
San Francisco peninsula) AREA.  THIS IS A LOCAL SHORT-TERM POSITION.

I am considering extending my geographical reach to the left coast,

investment. Hitherto, I've concentrated my marketing efforts primarily
in the New England/Mid-Atlantic areas...

I'm interested in hearing from anyone involved in providing software
documentation (both print and online), course development, and
marketing collateral writing services on a contract basis in the Bay
Area as well as Oregon/Washington, preferably direct vs. through
brokers.

What I want to know is, how has business been over the past two to
three years? Downward trend, upward trend, or steady? Have the trends
been gradual or steep? How would you assess the competitive
environment? Many candidates for a position, a few, or you can walk in
and basically expect no competition? Also, a brief statement about
your level of experience would be helpful.

I'll post the results of the survey (if I get replies!) to whoever's
