[QUOTE="beatupbrown, post: 249990, member: 4488"] We have a health crisis in USA what part of that do you not understand. I feel like I am talking to A alcoholic who is in denial because he has not gotten a DUI or totaled their car. You have insurance and do not see the battle causalities of the health care crisis, you need to do much more research, keep A open mind. Before the beginning of summer I had my annual medical. It was only a matter of seconds before my doctor, a decent old salt who's seen it all, began complaining about his lot. Like every doctor I've spoken to throughout the US in the past two or three years, he didn't know whether he could take the chaos of American health care much longer. The previous month, he had seen a very elderly patient who was already dying from malignant melanoma; but as he was examining the old man, he happened to notice that one of his toes had developed a bad fungal infection. He duly whipped off a prescription for the standard treatment - a daily dose of 250mg Lamisil tablets for 90 days - and thought nothing more of it. But Americans will never accept - shock, horror, gasp - [I]socialised medicine[/I], will they? Letting the government dictate which doctor they should have and what treatment they receive? Like those poor old washed-up Brits? For decades, that contrived chorus of indignation from the combined might of the medical industry itself, the pharmaceutical giants, the supine politicians who do their bidding and the pliant, unquestioning media has worked wonders in perpetuating a con trick. The result until recently has been that, aided by stupendous self-delusion and ignorance, most Americans really have been brainwashed into thinking they have the best health care system in the world.
