    Even under the tories the British NHS is vastly better, cheaper and more efficient for 99% of the population, as you know. In the US the 1% can buy anything and anyone, as the world knows. Look at Trump!

    Wrong, I am not referring to cost, just the treatment that one gets no matter what the cost. If British Hospitals are so great why did the Britts not allow this child to be treated in the USA?

    Answer because our healthcare is number one and we could have helped where British healthcare failed

    Complete fail

    Do you really give a shit how good the medical care is if it costs a trillion dollars? It might as well not even exist because you're not going to be using it. The only proper metric of healthcare is average outcomes for typical people. That's where American falls flat on its face.

    As well, people in Canada, Britain etc.. have pioneered many amazing treatments. It's not as if the US is at the forefront of health research.

    That is just wrong, the USA has the best healthcare on this planet, on the other hand we are last when it comes to health insurance, thanks to Obama............

    So you are partly right, but I am concerned about care here, not insurance or cost.

    Let me put this another way, what country do people want to be in if and when they are sick.

    The USA kid, they all want to be here and here alone. Or do we have an exodus to say Mexico or Canada the seal butchering capital of the World

    Again, what a stupid fucking premise. Even acknowledging the premise that our healthcare is the best. What good is the best if it's inaccessible?

    I would want to be in Canada because then they wouldn't charge me a billion dollars.

    Whose quote is this, idiot?

    "Wrong, I am not referring to cost, just the treatment that one gets....."

    Now, dumbfuck, I'll repeat the question. What good is the treatment when the cost is prohibitive?

    I once got very sick when I was in Germany on a business trip. I went to a doctors office and he helped me immensely and gave me the medicines that I needed. As I left I tried to pay for the services and medicines that were given to me. There was NO CHARGE. The doctor, who spoke perfect English and had been schooled in England, explained to me that the German government would pick up the tab for my treatments and medicine. WOW!!!!!!! I was overwhelmed to say the least. I wonder how that might happen in the USA? So, in that case just who might have the better system of healthcare? I'm certain that some might have a rather nonsensical subjective explanation for it but the true objective results remain the same. I was treated as well as I could have expected anywhere and the costs were absorbed by the nation. I find no fault with that kind of a system. As Americans, why can't we have something similar to those arrangements? Did I mention that average healthcare expenses in Germany are about 1/3 of what Americans pay for the same or inferior care? I believe that there are many healthcare systems in the industrialized nations that put the American versions to shame. From the multitudes of information that I've sought out and understood my understandings of other healthcare systems are reinforced.

    And the investigations continue,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
