Permanently confused
I bet there are a lot more people come to this country to get our healthcare than their inadequate universal healthcare that you seem to cherish. When it comes to life, and death...they come here. Don't try and overhaul state of the art.
Angioplasty was first done in Switzerland. The first heart transplant surgery was done in South Africa. When it comes to medical knowledge there are no boundaries. But when it comes to the inability to pay for health care it seems the US is a leader. It's a sort of empty claim you make on both counts. One is that the US is somehow the only country that can lay claim to start of the art medical practice. That's nonsense. But even if it were then what good it is if it's not available to everyone? That's really all fucked up.
D. I never said that they paved the way to the success of break throughs of practicing medicine in some areas. I'm laying claim to that we do have the state of art to the practice. D. do you realize how important an MRI machine is in the discovery of diseases? We have more MRI machines in the US than the world does combined. Now this is a fact. I never laid claim about medical knowledge boundaries...it seems you just did. What I'm laying claim to is that we have more accessible medical tests and procedeures in a more timely manner than universal healthcare. If I just had a broken leg or a cold, I wouldn't care about what healthcare I had...but if I have something life threatening, I sure in the hell don't want it left up to the government run healthcare...I want my own insurance. Finally D. Our government was never set up to run a healthcare system. It couldn't run one despite what Old Rocks thinks. It's unaffordable. But, having said this D. There is a way for our government to be part of the solution for healthcare for all. Our government could give tax credits to family's that can't afford healthcare, and could give tax credits to insurance companies to offer healthcare to them. You will never hear that come from the libs, nor Old Rocks. It is viable, but the libs want to gain control over our lives in that regard. I hope you read this and understand that it is possible without universal healthcare.
Got ya. I stand corrected.
