[Grovenet] Health Care. Joke or reality?

[allnutt]

Maybe, maybe not.  There are lots of insurance policies for dogs and cats 
these days.
Of courses you have to buy it when the pet is young (and presumably healthy) 
and there are lots of limits and they don't do routine vaccinations but it 
is out there.
