So, it you get ill with something that could have been treated sooner,remember, It's what you wanted.
How long our hospital stays are, are already dictated. That's how they decide how much the insurance covers and all that happy stuff. "Your insurance pays for ___ number of days of care after the heart surgery." You're not going to be staying longer unless there's issues.

I worked in health care too. I did billing and collections.

Either way you look at it, it's dictated.

I also lived overseas and dealt with socialized healthcare. As a non-citizen (I was covered as I was a minor in Sweden). I never had an issue with it.

Not that we're Sweden, cause we're not. We're a lot larger. However, they did manage to handle their health care rather well.
