If these traitors are going to decide whether we are going to live or die I will not go down alone...that's a promise.

@cnin242 I work with several people from the UK and we constantly talk about what a pain in the ass it is for them to see a doctor in the US. Sure, the care's good, once you wade through the morass of insurance, bills, and cost.

@agafaba Which is why I favor private practice.. that "something small" could end up being a huge problem in the long run. Bureaucrats are not doctors. I have a neurologist for a reason, for all I know.. I could have CNS lesions or tumors leading to whatever illness I have.

@Mirovozzrenie100 Ya thats a bit out there, but Canada isnt even close to the same boat as Cuba. Kind of like in the US the only stories you ever hear are the horror stories. Most Canadians get treated somewhat swiftly (with the exception being people going for very minor things, as they treat the most serious first regardless of when they showed up)

@agafaba Yeah but our docs actually won the prize off merit, and their abilities. Obama won it because he's black. There's a huge discrepancy I think haha. I just think it's funny people still think Cuba has better infant mortality rates ever since that stupid Michael Moore movie came out.. You know... THOSE types of people. The ones that believe Cuba has better neonatal care when they don't have it at all.. they don't even have stitches for their citizens let alone fetal intensive units. Lmfao.

@Mirovozzrenie100 Wait times are vastly over exaggerated, and of course your doctors are laughing, they make a fair bit more then ours do. Is every first world country except the US getting the lowest tier of healthcare?
Also I dont care if people with money go across the border to buy healthcare, its their money not mine. Obama won the nobel peace prize, I am surprised the world doesnt consider the united states as the pinnacle of peace loving countries.
-
@agafaba Or they can get treated by the best doctors in the known world instead of a bureaucrat, just look at our US medical Nobel winning physicians. I guess it makes you feel important to know everything's completely equal and you get the same care as the rich, but stop bullshitting yourself you know you're getting some of the lowest tier care in the medical world. Our doctors laugh at how terrible your wait times and death tolls are because of it.

Rich people get treated the same as poor people in Canada, I imagine its quite the culture shock. Of course anyone with the cash to simply go to the us and be treated would want to, then they can feel important again.

@cnin242 I asked some folks from Finland and they love their healthcare...
-
Part of the enormous cost of healthcare is that the system takes advantage of the elderly and insurance.

this is taken completely out of context. In that speech he gave at UC Berkeley he said that is what a candidate would say if they didn't want to get elected.
I don't get you right wingers you act like the free market doesn't ration care. It does. If you have money you get care if you don't you die. Sometimes even people with insurance get screwed out of care. So what do you think will happen to those people if there's no government insurance option? You think some magic fairy is going to come along and treat them?

Go ask someone from Poland, England, Canada or Russia how their health care is. They come here when they have the money to get treated.
Wake up, communist stooge.
