No, not by one person's description.....it is how I saw it, my neice just backed up my thoughts on that matter.
I don't live in the USA Twisterdog, but I HAVE lived in the USA, and have known a great many Americans in my life. I do comparisons with things like this, between countries. Even tho I am in the Construction industry, it suited my purpose to compare American methods of building as against our own.....and that is what I have done in so many other fields, including your health system.
If there is not enough doctors and dentists in your country, then the question is....why not ???? Is it because it is so expensive to train them ??? And if so....why is it so expensive ??? I'm pretty certain that there would be many many Americans who would have the intelligence to become doctors....but why haven't they the opportunity ???
I believe your whole system is based on the "Old Boys Club", lets just simply make it SO expensive and SO difficult to become a doctor or dentist, so that there is less of these so called professionals as against what the public needs, then we can simply go out and charge what we want.
And the proof of the pudding is that they do exactly that.
Hey....I know there are guys out there like your dentist friend.....that is really great, and I applaud them, but Twister, you do have to admit, they are far and few between.
