The brutal reality, though, for far too many prople with significant health issues (which, lbr, is virtually all of us, once we get to a certain age) is that the costs can get jacked up to where only the suoer rich can afford tham
Yes that is a problem, your answer is let the government run everything, My answer is have the government regulate private companies more.
If I'm wrong, please do let me know.
No you are right I have been lucky. My mother on the other hand has not been. And she has VA medical (government run healthcare for retired military) and I have seen her have to wait months for appointment, go years without a doctor, only a nurse practitioner that will see her when she can get appointments. Being told that she has to drive an hour north to the VA center because they will not let her go to a local ER after she fell and broke her arm (which they then failed to tell her was broken until a week later and this was just last month). I've seen her sent home by one doctor saying she was fine and later that same day my aunt drove her back to the VA center where she ended up staying for over a week because she almost died from kidney failure.
So as I said else where in this thread we've clearly had different experiences with our different governments. I do not trust mine to run healthcare.
