Best Health Care System in the World?

That's easy. Profit into the big whigs pockets versus properly staffed hospitals.

 

They couldve gone to another ER right? You seem to be blaming the hospital for her illness. As it says in the story; its unclear whether the long wait had anything to do with the outcome.

 

I blame the hospital's "big whigs" for improper staffing. The folks in hospitals are way overworked, underpaid, and poorly trained, rotated out constantly and controlled by their "managers". That's the fault of the profiteers, not the staff that is doing the best with what they have to work with.

 

How many illegals were in that same waiting room for a simple cold/flu or to pop out a brand new anchor baby?

 

Well as the article clearly states, there is no proof that the child wouldve had a different outcome if the wait was shorter.

 

Just imagine the waits we'll experience if Obamacare isn't repealed!
I wonder how this poor kid would score on one of their "death panel" reviews?

 

I do agree that often the hospitals are understaffed. It is too bad that this happened, and yes they could have gone to another ER but I think at the time you just do not think about that.

 

Right. So you just sit it out for five hours like some nitwit.

 

I guess that would depend on how many wealthy employers there were in the area at that time illegally offering slave wages for desperate people at the time.
If the slavemasters didn't illegally offer employment to them, they might not be here at all. But the wealthy need their slave labor I understand.

 

I care little for doctors, for they care little for me. I'm sure someone will bash me for saying that. (laughs)

 

I don't know if the health care we get here is across the board the best in the world. But it's pretty good. The question is whether you and your family have adequate access to it. If you don't then it probably doesn't much matter to you how good it is.

 

The best system money can buy. No doubt.

 

In my case, I don't have access because I don't have enough money. The doctors see my lack of funds and limit what they wil do for me... I realize that may be difficult to understand.

An example would be: I broke a bone in my hand. The correct treatment is to have an x-ray taken, have a doc look it over and decide on how best to set the break, then set the break and put it in a cast. My treatment was taking an x-ray. I asked how they were going to set it, they said they were not going to. The bone is massively deformed now.

 

I have since broken another bone in my hand, and last year I broke my leg (though it was still functional... it was slight)... neither time did I bother to go to the hospital... there was no point. They would take an x-ray, tell me it's broke (duh), and nothing else would have been done... except sending an inflated bill for their 'services'.

That's my health care in America.

 

You mean they put profit ahead of humanity??? Nah...it can't be!!!

 

Well, gee...if we could just reverse "Obamacare", everything will be better.

Their "services"? You mean the services of the part time, shift worker, the "anything that can breathe" slot filler? Well, it does cost two or three hundred dollars to scatter around amongst them. You must mean your glorified nurse's assistant! Well, that and the salt solution they charge you 10,000 bucks for.

 

I can understand how someone with enough money would have trouble understanding my comments. They may never have seen it happen, since their treatment was excellent.

But poor people understood it, they've lived it lol

 

Well the important thing is the masters are getting their profit. Time to quit worrying about those poor bums.

 

Wow. Cuba should offer Californians free medical care...
