[QUOTE="brett636, post: 243687, member: 249"] Do a little research, its out there. The comment about Spain came directly from a Cancer specialist here in the states. While this maybe true in countries with socialized medicine, I have a hard time buying that this is occuring here. If I need to see a doctor I can leave my house now and be seen by my doctor in about an hour. No emergency room visit required, and I bet no Canadian can say the same. The problems with socialized medicine are apparent in those that already recieve free heathcare courtesy of our government. Its those same people that are running to the emergency room for a runny nose that causes long delays for those that actually need treatment. If I need to go to an emergency room I can go downtown and wait 3-5 hours to be seen, or I can go to an emergency room in the hospital in the next county where they have less people on government health progams and get treated almost immediatly. As far as your issue you described above if it was minor why were you at the emergency room? I don't know of any surgeries that are regularly carried out in an ambulance, but I do know hernia surgeries are usually outpatient deals without too many complications. The 2-week stay you mentioned is a gross waste for such a minor surgery, and a very good showing of why we don't want government run healthcare here. That 2-week stay is using up hospital resources that could be going towards people who really need it. I would much rather my healthcare monies go towards private insurance companies than a government that will waste it on people who feel its their right to stay 2 weeks in a hospital for minor surgeries. National defense should be the government's only real concern, and why it was created. National defense is the only thing the government gets right. Atleast you got something right, and that is that hillarycare is not such a good plan. There are a lot of people without insurance, but what most don't understand is there are government progams that will cover them. Need prescriptions when you don't have insurance? The drug companies have programs for people who need medication but can't afford it. Also you cannot be refused medical treatment in this country. If you show up at an emergency room you will get treated. Do you even know why America is such a great country? I'll give you a hint, it has nothing to do with our government. America is all about the individual. Individual rights foster individual acheivements, and everyone benefits from this. The government only takes a problem and makes it worse, and that is why we don't want them invovled in our healthcare decisions. [/QUOTE]
