Ah thanks. I can't wait for April Fools Day

There was a segment on either 20/20 or 60 minutes on how people, including dentists are going to Mexico
yes Mexico for good, cheap dental care.

Also I lived in Germany for two years back in 1977-1979 and we had socialized medicine. My oldest son was born there.
The differences were amazing. Average hospital stay for mom was 9 days.
No phone in room.
No bath or toliet.
No choice of menu
4 moms to a room
Cost billed to me for a 9 day stay, 9 months of OB visits and one week of ICU for my son who was sent to a childrens hospital........ $00.0000000000000
Nada, nix, nothing.
Care wonderful.
Food ok.
Company of 3 other woman, lovely.
Having to walk down the hall to the loo, cold.
If the USA ran their health care the same way this country would be in great shape.
But we Americans are so spoiled. We have to have private room decked out in frilly fabrics, and pretty colors, birthing rooms that look like a bedroom.
All of us pay for this. Lets cut the pork. Heck lets cut out the whole fat pig.
People who are on Caresource, Welfare and Medicaid having babies that we the tax payor have to support don't need private rooms with TV, phone, pink curtains, choice of menu, and private bath. Actually none of us do. I for one would love to see health care cut the pork but not the care and save us all bucka bucks.
Good care doesn't have to be wrapped in luxury, good care is enough. Everyone American citizen should have that right. If you want extra's you should have to pay for them. Like a hotel. This way the people who want the luxury have it and add to the hospital money and those that don't get simple, decent, first rate medicial care.
Oh and Puck you have been on my ignore list for a year so don't bother.
