On the plus side, the care you don’t get won’t bankrupt you.

I have zero interest in “Medicare for all”, but based on my experience I’d be surprised if most US emergency rooms see 90% of patients within 4 hours (thanks, illegals).

“But it’s definitely not for the nearly 10% of patients and their families who had to live with a suspected cancer diagnosis for more than two weeks.”

Warren and the rest of these Liberal half-wits hardly care. THEY, of course, will neatly and quietly exempt themselves from ANY plan forced on the rest of us, down here on the ground. Sheesh

I was in a message board debate with a citizen of britain regarding the american health care system versus the british nhs system. He was filled with praise for the nhs and full of disdain for the american system. He particularly hated having to pay out of pocket for anything medical, pointing out how his system is free.

I pointed out how america is number one in the world in cancer survival rates. That in great britain, some who are diagnosed with cancer are then put on a months long waiting list for an operation. By the time the date of the operation is to take place, the cancer has spread and is inoperable while in america, someone who is diagnosed with cancer gets treated as soon as possible. His response to that was he’d rather wait to have his cancer operation than have to pay anything out of pocket.

Just wow.

Guess the UK’s largest employer...

The NHS.

Patients aren’t the customers. They’re the grist for the mill.
