Owner59 -> Another Example Of Why Private Health-care Doesn`t Work. (7/13/2008 5:07:37 PM)

Anyone who is argues the health-care debate,either way,should watch this compelling and eye opening 60 Minutes piece.
A remote expedition medical out-fit created to serve the 3rd world,is now spending 60% of it`s time, money and resources in the US.
Another sign that something`s broken in our system. When you have health-care that costs twice as much per head to administer,those with-out insurance go without care.Untreated teeth,no follow up care to cancer surgery,a guy who had two heart-attacks and no follow up care,etc. I`m getting tired of the have-mores pissing on those Americans who are slipping through the cracks. Health care,good sufficient health care should not be a privilege!! The most striking example of the failure of our health care system was the elderly woman at the end,who needed new eye-glasses. She was no welfare queen.She was no dippy chick who never worked hard or saved. She was your average elderly person, who all to often are left to fend for themselves and are without many options,other than dying. Folks like her (poor and marginally poor folks)shouldn`t be made to feel ashamed to get help.
