Mango P - you're using the typical leftist scare mongering. I know my mother waited in line for over a year for a cancer brain surgery in Scandinavia
That may be... but then again maybe they decided that she could survive that period without excessive deterioration.... I don't know much about Scandinavia.. did she survive OK ? I hope so..
I do know that high costs of health insurance have lead to major problems (including the early death of a friend) here in the US... I'm amazed at the resistance to adoption of a health insurance overhaul ... people here are like turkeys screeching in support of Christmas... So far the Health Insurance industry has spent close to 100 million dollars in advertising to resist a health industry overhaul... they don't do that unless there's much more than that in it for them.
Part of the problem here is that people are living under two misconceptions..
1. That America is the best country in the world.
2. That if it is American it must be the best in the world.
Laughably... the high cost health plans are referred to as 'Cadillac Plans'... nobody here sees the irony... Cadillac = Overpriced, pooly engineered, all flash and chrome with no inner substance.
Michael Moores 'Sicko' should be compulsory viewing for every American.
