Happy with your healthcare system?

[michbich]

Like the title says. After seeing a few "for sale" threads forced by medical bills, i would like to know if you guys are happy on how your healthcare system is running.

Yep.

To take your post a step further -- you're asking if Americans would rather be taxed like Canadians so we could keep out paintball gear when times get tough?

Nope. I enjoy choosing my health care. I do NOT want someone in Washington to decide what hospital I go to, who my doctor is, or what "value" of health care I am eligible for.

No, my intention is not to compare both systems and it has little to do with paintball. I just want to hear what you guys have to say about your healthcare system. I'd also like to know why some get the bill and some do not. Is it just because the medical insurance policy didn't cover the injury inflicted?

Oh yes I really enjoy paying nearly 400 hundred dollars a month in healthcare insurance and then paying medicare taxes on top of that as well

I don't want to get in that debate, but just to make it clear, we choose our hospital and our doctor. What we do not choose is our treatment, everyone gets the same. Again, their is no "value" of healthcare to be eligible for, we are all the same when it comes down to healthcare.

I am not 100% familiar with your system in CA. I do know about the system in England. I have worked with several engineers over there who highly dislike their current health care system.

One thing I do know about Canadians that live close to NY is that there are many who cross the border to go to the hospital. (my aunt who is a nurse in NY sees it everyday).

Who would you prefer pay for your health care sir?

I know a few myself. I've heard horror stories on the Dentists.

I don't know about England, but here, healthcare and dentists are completly different stories. They are not covered by healthcare.

Yep, I love my commie-derived healthcare system. One thing they did that actually works out, all it needs is more money.

lol.

If mcdonalds started handiing out cheeseburgers Everyone would get one. Even if they were not hungry they would say "hey its free. Why not?". I am afraid that if we get "free" health care we will get the same response. It is bad enough weight at the emergency room as it is. Imagine if they quit charging people.
