1. A NHS can and does deny care and postpone care. Much worse than our current system.
2. You can't sue the government. No matter what goes wrong in your medical care, no one is held accountable.
3. Be prepared to spend your whole day at the Surgery (local clinic). No appointments just like a walk-in clinic.
4. No cutting edge medicine. You have to accept the limitations of what the Gov’t will reimburse.
National health care sounds good and caring but beware, it has a really dark underbelly.
Great post. Thanks.
myth number 6:
Enrolling and spending somebody else’s money on a health care plan has more effect on individual health than a persons own eating and exercise habits which can be done for free.
Needless to say, our Troops are still kicking a$$ in all theaters of the war on the mohammedans and, thankfully, my Blue Cross Blue Shield still only costs me 90 bucks a month (Yeah, I know my true cost). I mentioned that we have the finest health care in the world, probably the universe for that matter, and that she spends more buying her lunch and coffee but doesn't feel that is too much.
bookmark for later.
“nearly 10 million of the “uninsured” have household incomes of more than $75,000 — so they can probably afford to buy health insurance but choose not to.”
I don’t think that is really true. The sad fact is that most people who earn more than $75,000 a year can’t afford health insurance because they’ve got to pay high taxes so that people who earn less than $75,000 a year can get subsidized health care.
