Thank you all for the info which I am passing on to my friend Dr. Dave. As a retired physian he is much interested in everyone's views from around the world. PT is full of intelligent people with valid opinions well thought out.
I lived in Germany over 30 years ago and loved their health care system. I had my first born there.
Some ways I feel that America can cut health care cuts were being done there so many years ago.
For instance.
1) We were four to a room
2) No phone
3) No TV
4) Simple yet good meals.
5) No bathroom, it was down the hall and shared by all on that floor.
6) No visitors in room, we went to a common area.
7) Hospital stay 30 years ago 9 days
8) My cost ZERO.
If we had this instead of private rooms that looked like plush hotels, cable, phone, and all the extras we could save millions of dollars.
I would like to hear everyone's thoughts.
And thanks again to all the intelligent PT people, that includes Blue Too.
