What Socialist Medicine Really Is - a Waiting Game

My DR is booked out a month.......used to be able to call anytime and they would work you in.

Medical school in the US is the most expensive. Can easily cost $700,000.

Speaking with someone we met on-line while looking into moving to Panama when we retire, the wife recently fell sick and and to go to the local hospital and was diagnosed with pneumonia and ended up spending 16 days in the hospital. Before they checked out they had to pay in cash...the total was just under $1300.

16 days in the hospital in the US would bankrupt most people if they did not have insurance and would still put a hurting on them if they did.
