@amerika as I said, thank goodness for insurance and private hospitals, as they are both available here. It is comforting knowing that those without the means to pay for those are still able to get care (although more investment needs to be made in that arena it seems).

@jcolson

I live in a medical town. It is a non-stop procession of people coming here from Canada, UK, and Europe trying to get care that they could not under their healthcare systems. Well that and illegal aliens clogging all the emergency rooms.
