How do you feel about your health care? I'm not trying to get political or start any kind of debate. I'm just curious how you feel about it. Thanks.

All I can say is that if you ever really need it it is there. And you don't have to worry about if you have enough insurance to cover your ass

Do you ever have a problem with getting in to doctors? I have several close friends in Ft. McMurray and they seem to have problems sometimes getting in to specialists and such. Is that just a regional thing or is that pretty common?

Fort Mac is pretty far from any major centers so I guess it would depend on what specialist you needed. From personal experience, I have this habit of waking up in hospitals, if it is an emergency or life threatening you get what you need when you need it, if you stubbed your toe you might have to wait to see the foot specialist
