thumbs up I think you are right there!!
If he had really wanted to see her and spend time with her, the health insurance would not have even been mentioned..Surely the only thing that should have been on his mind was having a nice time with her???dunno

I was looking this up online the other day. You can purchase health insurance if you are traveling to another country. She needed to research it. Personally, I think that he was having second thoughts and was giving her an excuse.

A lot of countries have socialized health care. That is why when it comes to really important surgeries.. like life saving surgeries a lot of people who can afford to will come to the USA for the surgery.

I once went to Canada to visit friends also. I checked into moving to Canada. I checked into this back in 2003.. Back then, from what I understand you would need both a passport and a visa.
You would need either an educational visa or a work visa...along with $9000 to get yourself set up in a place to live, find a job, etc.

I am sorry about your friend.
