You live in Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Netherlands, UK, Canada or the US?How does your health care rank?
@zzzmd again:
“there are international wings in many of our hospitals” you say. Well, fancy that. Have you ever been abroad, zzzzmd? Do you even have a passport? Probably not (since in your mind America is #1, the best, etc). Newsflash for you: Americans fly abroad for all types of medical care! Yes, sorry to break the news to you. In Prague, Czech Republic there is a booming “medical tourism” business, and yep–most of the customers come from USA, because even with the cost of the air ticket the top notch medical care received by Americans in Prague is so much more cheaper and hassle free than battling the health insurance companies in USA. Same goes for Mexico, tons of Americans head south of the border for more affordable healthcare.
Either you don’t know about this, or don’t like to bring it up as it exposes how farcical and naive your arguments are in this thread.
“Our best care is the best”: spoken like a true, jingoistic American. I’m sure for you there is no need to ever travel abroad and see another country, since “America is the best” in every conceivable way, and the rest of the world should fall in line behind USA…blah blah blah. Get so tired of this arrogant mentality by americans. Sheesh give it a rest.
<sarcasm> You pinko commies will never understand. We're #1 in cost. More than twice the other countries. The free market is working the way it's supposed to. Sure quality may go up if we went to a government healthcare but the costs would go down. This is a loss of money to a capitalist system. We'd lose our #1 spot and that is clearly socialism at it's worst. No profits. </sarcasm>FluffyMcDeath said:You live in Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Netherlands, UK, Canada or the US?How does your health care rank?
