OMG 8O that is hideous...and sad beyond words. Our healthcare is not the best in the world, but I am grateful for it on a daily basis.
it's moved to his other leg, he won't last long in China,If he is tough enough to self amputate I would be giving him anything he wants.
Actually its more about those in charge wanting to deny others access to healcare
because they own the shares in the companies that keep it expensive so as to
profit from human misery. Medicare administered by governments is good in the
long run. Yes we might all have to pay and some never use it agreed. Then again
life insurance has sane people buying it and some don't have need of it for a very
long time. Not having someone collect on your life insurance is a good thing for
you personally. Some buy and die the next day true. When that happens we don't
complain about having to continue paying our premiums do we?
I don't mind paying for healthcare and I hope I don't need to access a claim but if I
do I won't lose my house and everything else. Yes we have great healthcare we
just have a lousy attitude in many cases. It is a program we should be happy to
have everyone have access to regardless of cost.
the healthcare system is not the problem people are the problem.
agreed....Absolutely, some abuse it because they think it's "free", others bitch if they have to wait in line. In the past 8 months or so I've had to make a lot of use of it, and I think that use will diminish over time, but I haven't found a single thing to complain about, the doctors and other professionals here leave nothing to chance and there are preventative programs in place here for free. I pay about 1/3 of the cost of prescriptions. One charity that is well worth donating to is your local hospital foundation.

we are blessed for sure! in order to bring down health costs long term, I'd be willing to include dental in our health care and pay a bit more in taxes...in the long run it should lower costs because poor dental care can lead to a host of other problems that would require long term care and burden the system more...we need to investigate it furtherFrom what I've seen in my town in the past year, I'm not actually convinced there is a better one anywhere in the world. We have it all here.

Say that when you're waiting weeks to begin cancer treatment. Or for an MRI.
It's good but it could be vastly improved.
one can only speak and judge from one's personal experience...mine have all been excellent with the exception of the ER kidney stone night...and they had a young woman who had blown an aneurism so mine really was minor in comparison even though I wished they would just kill me....my surgery gave a great contrast to that... we are blessed and for those with money they can just hop over the border and pay for it...Say that when you're waiting weeks to begin cancer treatment.

I can only speak from my own experience. I had an M.R.I. last March within one hour of being told I needed one. (Actually I guess I didn't need one) - How would you realistically improve wait times when there are simply not enough professionals to handle the traffic?

I have to ask, because over the years I have seen the same exact comment, do you base your quality of health care on how much it costs? Honestly, I don't care, I pay $700 a month for myself and I have access to cutting edge medical technology, you think I am going to put a price on my health? I think not.
Somebody has to, it has to be paid for. Is a professional going to sacrifice 7-10 years of his/her life for no returns?
I'm sorry but from where I stand you are wrong. The poor and the elderly have medical coverage in the US, if you're middle class, make do and pay your way. I happily pay $700 a month and my mind is at ease.
