Frontline? PBS?...You must be on drugs to think PBS is going to report the facts as they are rather than the normal liberal editorial bias...Who the hell do you think owns and funds PBS?....The friggin federal governnment. Of course PBS is going tow the company line.I dont really have time to line mine out as well as OP did, but to me the ideal system is a private industriy where the Gov't is hands off...maybe some oversight, but let the private sector take care of itself.
In other words If I am not on the governments payroll, they need to leave me the heck alone.
Social medicine does'nt work... it has'nt worked anywhere else, so what gives us the idea it will work for us? Guess thats why people come from all over the world to seek HC here
No quick solutions really.... but what they rammed thru last March was a joke!
Oh... one more thing.... if your not a citizen, you go home to get your healthcare (except in extreme emergencies)
I work in the medical industry and it is appauling how many people are here illegally and we cater to them hand and foot. While American citizens wait in line behind them in E.R.'s -- thats just not right.
Are you truly that stupid! Not only does it work, but it costs less and gets better result in every nation it is used in than our system does.
There are many ways to skin the cat, so why don't we look at some of the very successful ones?
FRONTLINE: sick around the world | PBS
Look, whatever you saw on Frontline.. it missed the reality of supply and demand...
If a service or product is offered without compensation, the demand outstrips supply. The result is the price rises. Since socialized medicine is price fixed due to government decree, the service then becomes LESS available.
And juts how do you think those wonderful machines and medicines are to be paid for?.Oh thin air?.. great. Those things will disappear as well.
