I am also from a developing country (Uruguay) but if any of my family ever has cancer all our concern will be in the emotional issues, the economic issue are already resolve: basically the health system coveres all diseases that you could get.

I do not understand the countries that don´t have this, it is just logical that if you pay when you are healthy you must be 100% covered when you are sick (without excuses or having to justify anything). The most strange thing is that what I pay for my health insurance is less of what I heard it is pay in USA (I pay 70 USD per month) but the difference is big: I live assured that whatever happens I'll be covered, no disease will make me lose my house.

The problem is not about beeing a developing country or not, it is about political decisions that obligate insurances to do what they must do.

Uruguay isn't really a developing country. Not like India, that's for certain. Anyway, the health care system in the US isn't something that was willed into existence. It came from a series of accidents and circumstances.
