It’s not clear-cut. I work for a large university & I have access to an in-house health plan that is restricted to people that work for the university. That means the top profesors & deans gets the same treatment as the guy who cleans the halls.
But...this university health plan is considered one of best in the nation. I have access to a PRIVATE university emergency room 24/7 & the best doctors in the state. Everyone gets top care, but only if you are part of the university.
This is one of the reasons why I made my career here. My famly & I have lifetime access to ths private plan & I will never have to go to a public emergency room. It cuts both ways....you get better care than the public at large IMO, but anyone who works here can use it; so it’s not a closed, elite system.
In fact, you can sit in and lecture everyone Mr. ham...Tell um how they too will receive the same high level healthcare as the rich and those in Congress, when they become ill...
You’re on the case...Go get um!
Evidently you are not getting anywhere near the mental care as the rich and famous. There I agree with you.
“My famly & I have lifetime access to ths private plan & I will never have to go to a public emergency room. “
O’Bama has other plans, so good luck with that.
Don’t be so angry...The truth only hurts a bit.
BTW, starbuck, if you’re going to attempt humor, at least try and make it funny.
Take care.
What are you? A nine year old who didn't get their Cracker Jack toy?
Of course wealthier people can afford better health care. But in emergency situations, everyone was equal in the eyes of a first responder.
You completely ignored the initial situation, and decided to throw a nonsensical piece of diatribe into the mix.
You should very ashamed of yourself, you fu@#$ing teenager.
I was a fireman for ten years and it didn't matter to me if I was walking into an involved 4 million dollar house or an EBT residence. (I had both.)
Your interruption of this thread is exceedingly disappointing for a Freeper.
Waiting behind 37 illegals and the hacking hordes isn't so bad if ya down a few shots first...Helps the pain too.
Just don't expect to see anyone from Congress in there.
Get care
lol...You're in trouble now!
Lol, there are ex-congressmn in the plan. This plan is better than just about anything out there.....by far.
Not at all. I was responding in general to your #2 post. There is no difference to emergency response regardless of wealth or not.
This plan will never be touched by Obamacare. It’s the same now as when I started working there in the 80s.
James Gandolfini got the appropriate care that even the lowliest Italian bum would have gotten.
A fat, out of shape Italian citizen would have gotten the same FUTILE care that Tony Soprano got.
Now if you're asking what a US Congressmen would have gotten, the same.
If you're talking what do VIPs get in the way of care, LONG before they get to code blue, Yeah you're right. In my teaching hospital we took care of many VIPs.
We called it the Gold Coast>
The difference in care was that they got nice metal, instead of plastic forks and knives to cut their food.
Did they get special sauce that took away their cancer?
No.
As much as we think that our congressional betters somehow can avoid the Reaper
No they don't.
But Obamacare will make sure that the annointed ones get the best?
Sure.
On that we have no argument.
BTW, I agree with your comment about the wealthy and well connected getting the best medical treatment. That's inordinately clear.
I’m sure it is!
LOL!
BTW, I was referring to the run of the mill ER...Not your plan...
Heheheh..
Oh....got you.
He has asked a question that is much more complicated than one that can be served by a yes or no answer. Sadly, he appears to lack the faculties to realize it.
We tried. At this point, he’s trolling you.
Yes they would boy.
I had a heart attack last Thursday and the doc's and nurses cared just as much.
