Somewhere, someone is blaming this on Obama's healthcare
proposals.

One current affairs programme suggested that the US already
spends twice the % of GDP on healthcare as the UK, so the US
could have centralised healthcare twice as good as the NHS
without any increase in taxation - all they have to do is tip a
few greedy *******s off the gravy train.


If you can only manage twice as good for twice the money as the
NHS then shame on you.

For example from seeing my doctor to getting an angiogram took
me over a month, although I was told if I called an ambulance
for increased chest pains it would happen a lot faster. So
make US health care twice as good and you'll only have to wait
2 weeks for an angiogram.

Mind you if I had been really concerned I would have paid for
private treatment and had it the next day. Hey you guys already
work like that.

As long as you can pay. If you can't, and aren't on a
government health plan - no angiogram, period. Unless you are
already having symptoms of a heart attack at the time, of
course.


Just because the work shy put smoking, drugs, booze, bling,
satellite TV etc before their health doesn't make it the tax
payers problem.

Nice irrelevancy.

Health has to be paid for. Peoples priorities, who pays and how is
not irrelevant.

But a load of crap about freeloaders when the number one cause of
bankruptcies is medical costs certainly is.




The NHS is not a solution to any problems with the US system.

Made-up crap.

No, In my experience it's the NHS that is crap.

The NHS is irrelevant, it is in another country and is not a system
up for approval.

I was commenting on a post by Ian which brought up the NHS.

If that's
irrelevant to you then don't post.

Whatever, chief. You keep setting 'em up, I'll keep knocking them down.
