I have a friend who lives in Australia where
they have socialized healthcare. He needed some surgery, so he flew into
the United States to have it done. Apparently he doesn't think much of
socialized medicine.
This same friend's wife has relatives living
in England, another place with socialized medicine. They paid to fly her
to the US for emergency treatment because she couldn't get into see a surgeon in
England for at least 6 weeks, by which time she might be
dead.
I hear stories like this from people over
and over again. In fact, outside of you, no one I know (not that I read
about, but people I have a relationship with) that lives in a place with
socialized medicine has a single good thing to say about it.
No thanks. I'll pass. Everything
the gvt. sticks it's finger in is ruined.

In our last discussion on socialized (gvt provided) medicine some in this group were in favor of it. A friend of mine lives in Canada and he is in his 80's. He had a heart attack Thursday. He is in good health except for the blockages. Because of socialized medicine he's going to die. The gvt. doctors say he's "too old" to fix the blockages so they are refusing to even try. Yet just last month a man in our church older than him, and in worse general health, had a quadruple by-pass surgery and is now doing very well. It's a good thing we don't have socialized medicine or the man in our church would be relegated to die because he's too old
i believe in the list i saw (I think from TIME magazine or some such) Canada was among the worst health care nations anyway,
