Unfortunately, you won’t see public outrage. The MSM says that we have the best system, and 75% of Americans believe everything they see on TV. So we’re the best. Actually, we’re the best #37 in the world.
And we’re moving DOWN the scale, not up. It’s obvious to an entire world as much as it is oblivious to most Americans. We put the “li(e)” in obvious, obLIvious. Americans don’t have a clue, and the corporatists couldn’t be happier.
health care in the … health care in the US is a joke. There are third world countries with much better systems. My son was born in Mexico City in 1981 at 6 months 2 weeks. He weighed less than 2 pounds. He was in an incubator for the first year. He had three hernia operations. Such an effort here in the US would be in the tens of thousands of dollars.
In Mexico, FREE!!!!
And for those who say it’s horrible down there don’t realize that those same doctors come to the US to get rich from American patients.
I have a friend who … I have a friend who has a liver ailment and his wife has skin cancer..Between the two of them they make $46,000 a year.. Anthem Blue Cross raised their premium to $2300 a month,more than half their take home pay.. They can’t shop with another insurance carrier because they now have pre-existing conditions.This only happens in America.Health insurance companies kill and ruin more Americans than any terrorist organization ever has. Support HR676 and put these blood suckers out of business!!
We need single … We need single payer (government not insurance company) healthcare in the United States.
There is no morally sound reason why a private, for-profit company should be allowed to insert itself between a patient and a healthcare provider diverting huge profits for themselves instead of paying for healthcare. In addition to costs of equipment and drugs escalating, insurance company profits are a primary reason for the exorbitant cost of healthcare.
A documentary re … A documentary re the demise of the middle class b/s the middle class is saddled with lots and lots of credit card debt. The film also focuses on predatory lending, outrageous fees that banks charge, and the resultant strain on the American family. Check it out ~ it will stay with you. It was on Shotime in May ~ not sure where it will show up next.
There are laws in … There are laws in place that allow foreign visitors to be treated in the U.S. at the expense of their country of origin. The food in the U.S. is just fine, and I am from Italy, so it is not as though I am pro-American.
DorianGabriello — … DorianGabriello —- PLEASE watch your step and what you eat… HERE in USA … IF you break your leg or have an emergency OPERATION … IF hospital accept to FIX you YOU will end up with 30.000$ bill … THAT IS IF YOU GET LUCKY…. MORE likely you will have to go to ITALY with your broken leg …. OR IF emergency operation is not performed YOU WILL DIE … I am talking about the SITUATION HOW it is RIGHT NOW IN USA ….
My brother is … My brother is studying in Harvard Law School he got the opportunity from here “Italy” He is in his second year..and I will go to visit him this July Im excited…

I have high deductable junk health insurance from a well known American company.
The premiums are so high I regularly forgo treatment for various things. I can’t afford the co-pays which are usually more then the covered amount.
Often only 10% is covered.
Too bad I can not change insurers due to their policy of cherry picking folks with pre-existing conditions.
I get better health care value from trading art work even up for alternative care.
Our system is severly broken.
