In comparison, just 12 percent of lower-income residents in the U.K. and 7 percent with higher incomes said costs stopped them from getting care.

I'll bet. It's the rationing and long lines that stop those in the UK from getting care.

If Government run healthcare is so great why does the VA suck ?

As least most Americans can access it. Hell, illegal immigrants get it for free if they enter your nation illegally and they haven't contributed a dime.

The report is a load of shit, of course.

Those unfortunate enough to live in the other countries on the list, routinely come to America instead of enduring what passes for "health care" in their shitholes.

When a British subject like Mick Jagger, needed complex cardiac surgery- he came to America to be treated. In a similar vein, when Canadian Alex Trebek had a serious health crisis, he came to America to be treated instead of getting "Free" care in his native land.

German Fuhrer Adolf Hitler saddled his common people with Hitlercare and doctors like Quack Joe Mengele- while he hired a highly rated private physician , Dr. Ted Morell for his own care.

The leaders of Shithole nations avoid socialized medicine services and those who care come to America.

Even here in America, radicals like Crazy Bernie refused to use Obamacare for his own needs.

Maybe because people just sit and bitch about it. Unfortunately, many of the same people bitching about it are handicapped from advocating for it by their silly emotional political fetishes against public healthcare and public insurance.

Most isn't enough.

Most isn't enough.

Some Canadians can't, since they have to wait six months to see a doctor, sometimes 18 months for a life saving surgery.

Once your system is bogged down with socialism and free handouts, you may find yourself in the same place...

There are fixes for that. You should be addressing those problems with your government and holding up better systems as examples. Hint: those better systems will all include public health insurance. Considering your country has much better outcomes across the board at a fraction of the cost, trying to use that information you provided as a cautionary tale against public health insurance misses the mark with any informed person.

Well I wish the informed would inform me, because I speak from personal experience.

Every fucking election every politician claims they will fix the problem and promptly forget about it as soon as they get in office. It's not a fetish you shit stain if you have to go through the shit, it's a warning. No fucking wonder veteran suicide is 50% higher than the civilian side.
