[QUOTE="Johnny Paycheck, post: 1296817, member: 51820"] That's the point. The US has one of the worst healthcare systems of the western world simply because there aren't enough people in line. The line is only for the top-half (and is getting shorter, with the elimination of good FT work) and the rest don't go to the doctor until their situations become emergencies and tax-payers foot the much higher bill of emergency care. The amount of uninsured citizens in the US is appalling to people from other developed countries. Hell, :censored:ing India has public healthcare. India! People who need heart transplants still get heart transplants, whether they have insurance or not. Hospitals have a duty to provide care, regardless. "To say insuring more will ensure that more are able to seek medical services and that's a bad thing," is insane. Public health has been tried and tested in Europe for decades. There is no 3 month line for emergency care. While visiting family in Germany my mother pinched a nerve in her neck on the flight over, set an appointment, saw a German doctor in a couple days (just like here), received treatment on the German tax-payer dime, recovered.
