Cobra Bill ... First ... this is NOT a Democracy ... it is a Representative Republic and there is a tremendous difference , and you should know that.
I have had first hand experience with two people who were friends who contracted cancer ( colon and AML ) and had no health insurance . In each case they received treatment at a world class facility and no treatment was off the table .... and guess what ? In both cases , the treatment costs were written off .
I also have experience with the so called world class treatment/systems in the UK and Sweden as I was a Global Accounts Manager at my last company . How does a 16 week wait to even see a Doctor in the UK sound ? How does having operations rationed or medicine denied because of bureaucracy sound ? They have had to place security guards in some of the clinics in Uppsala Sweden as the waits were so long the natives got restless . It took a friend`s father almost a year before he could get a hip replacement there .
When I interviewed awhile back for a position with a company that was based out of British Columbia , they wanted to make sure any medical coverage I was given would apply to their people as what they had in Canada was a real problem .
There are Doctors in Florida ( West coast ) whose practice consists of patients from Canada who come down here for service they can`t get back home .... again , first hand experience on this !
And don`t get me started on the Post Office ... just received a package from Canada that took over 3 weeks to get here . It also takes 3 days to get a letter from Augusta , GA to here ... 22 miles away !
You want the people who are running Medicare , Medicate and Social Insecurity into bankruptcy to handle our healthcare ????
