I have a friend who’s Irish (married to an American and has lived here for 12+ years, two kids). She is astounded at the rush to nationalize healthcare. “People here have NO IDEA what they’re wishing for!” she exclaims. Her own mother, back home, had to wait over a year for simple cardiac catheterization — a woman in her upper 50s! “The list was so long” explained my friend.
Utter in-freakin’-sanity!!!!
“Her own mother, back home, had to wait over a year for simple cardiac catheterization a woman in her upper 50s!”
I had a neighbor that needed triple bypass surgery and had to wait over 6 months. I, and I’m sure a lot of others, prayed fervently for him. My daughter’s tutor had diabetes. I can’t even begin to explain what she went through. I don’t think people really understand the horrors of socialized medicine unless they’ve experienced it, and how we’ve had the best medical care in the world in the U.S.
