Trick or treat

[beeniesmom]

I heard nightmare stories about Canadian and English healthcare in particular too. I really think the US can pull it off, if it's done the right way.
I'm sorry about the treatment your friend got.

I am Canadian, I never once had a problem with health care there.

I have vacationed in England and ended up in E.R., I was taken care of and sent on my way without paying a dime.

I live in Spain, they do make you wait around a lot, but at the end of the day I am not having to decide whether I can feed my children or pay for their medical care. Thank god.

This is amazing to me. I really didn't know there were that many countries.

This is amazing to me. I really didn't know there were that many countries.

There are more than 191 (about that number) of countries in the world.

The amusing thing about the 'rankings' is that most of these countries are far richer in per capita, per person than the U.S., they have a smaller populations and have a stronger HC system set up by the government.
THey have had years to perfect it.



lol, San Marino? Andorra? UAE? Saudi Arabia?

IN those countries they probably do not even consult a physician in that country? How many people fly to have surgeries or treatments in the U.S.? People with money or means will travel the earth for a cure.

IF you have oil or FU money, at what price health?

We fly kids with ortho problems, transplant and brain patients here-or fly our doctors out to them-because we are pioneers in the medical field.

Half (?)the vaccines and pioneer procedures are perfected here, most often on ill patients from other countries.


Stats/ranking/polls are great fun. And in the end they mean nothing more that being able to count from 1 to 100.


Show your work.

Yes....analysis from a former hospital worker is far more valid than that of the World Health Organization.

Pleeeze....

[blue]

Since the WHO is part of the UN I would take the word of a

former hospital worker

over them.

You haven't been reading closely RICHARD...everyone goes to India for surgery now.

or fly our doctors out to them-because we are pioneers in the medical field.

Would that be...Doctors without Borders...a group you disparage?

Show your work. Wouldn't that require you to .....WORK???
