wait so high wage earneers have to pay into the system but are dinged if they actually use it? yea fucking rich people. getem.

If you're in the private system you get excellent rebates and tax offsets to balance what you put in through the public system via your taxes. it's a given though that most of the wealthy have private health insurance so they don't have to pay the income surcharges.

Was it a life threatening injury?

She hit her head hard and something in her neck moved. She, also, dislocated her shoulder. She's 86.

this is not socialized medicine..we have mandatory insurance programs such as car, homeowners, flood etc; you do have choices..you toddle over to your computer october 1st, locate your states exchange online and voila! you choose your coverage and if you'd like to have typical man's insurance (only believes in health care when an arm is cut off) then the news is good! because typical pool (employer sponsorship) health with that kind of coverage runs you about 150$ monthly so now you will pay 75$ win/win

What about in states where insurance companies have decided not to offer coverage? Now you're stuck with a single payer system.

my mom did her dental residency at the royal hospital in london in about 1973.

The dentist would take the cotton balls they used to hold peoples cheeks back and put them on one of those dental trays to dry out after they were used so they could be reused.

thats what rationing gets you. insurance companies dont do that. yet...

1973, long before HIV positive..does your current dentist re-use it's cotton balls?

probably, but this article is a non-sequitor. in other words. wtf does this article have to do with obeezycare?
it doesnt mention a deathpanel.
it doesnt mention the doctor not being paid enough to do proper surgery.
it doesnt mention a long wiat for services.

basically this is the kind of shit that makes us all look like sarah palin. so good job on that.

Does your definition for "work" always include making other people do things YOU think is good for them, but that THEY would rather not do?

Are you a rapist? Who owns OTHER people? Do you?

I don't know about the UKs medical system but here in AUSTRALIA I don't pay a thing $0- apart from my income and use taxes just like everybody else. Anyone can also get private health insurance but it you're a high income earner and don't have it, instead relying on the public system and you'll get slogged at tax time...

so you pay 0$ aussie man..how is your care? how would you rate it? what, if anything, would you change about it?

They do reuse kidney dialyzer membranes. They say it is only used by the same patient but I don't believe that. Worse it can be washed by hand but by machine is better, which do you think they do? Coming to a hospital or dialysis center near you.

I can only talk of my own experiences and I've never had a problem with wait times, level of care, thoroughness of the doctors/nurses etc... I simply cannot relate to a situation where the impact of healthcare costs could potentially bankrupt an individual or the strain that kinda stress would cause.

There are wait times for electives, depending on the procedure and wait times at emergency rooms can be lengthy dependent on the injury/condition but that mainly happens around peak times as far as I have observed.

I would like to see more money injected into the system to improve wait times, add beds and staff etc. but for the most part i'm very happy with the system we have here.
