Finally…how’s it …
Finally…how’s it able to work in many non-socialist, capitalist nations? And without need for any scary “panels”/”getting into peoples accounts”. Why is it so difficult to work properly in the USA? What alternative system would people suggest? For workers, for underinsured? Leaving out playing the race/immigrant/communist card? What is the solution? Leave it as it is?

NHS costs are ok unlike private sector.
Need car / home insurance, so why socialist (whatever that means after the fall of Berlin wall, etc) re health insurance?
Hopefully, the critics have a solution rather than comfort in the status quo. Still need Stan Brock and RAM.

The NHS isn’t …
The NHS isn’t perfect but it works.
You register with a local GP (doctor). Some would say it was better pre Maggie Thatcher / pre-meddling and trying to privatise/set up NHS trusts, etc/ pre attempts to destroy it…still, if you have a problem, you get seen by your GP and he/she refers you to hospital.

Furthermore, of the …
Furthermore, of the now remaining 20 million AMERICANS, many of them qualify for medicaid but don’t take advantage. Of those that are left how many people truly can’t get healthcare. Many simply choose to save money and not get coverage. So move to Cuba if you think our healthcare is so bad. According to Castro and Moore’s “documentary”, they have great healthcare. Too bad the hospital he showed was a VIP facility not open to the public only dignitaries and commie filmmakers.

I am sure he won’t give his up. He will not be on the board with the public.

He doesn’t have to. …
He doesn’t have to. He already has government health care.

Just like every other senator, congressman, and representative in Washington.

Remember that when you’re paying your $14,000 dollar medical bill because you needed an appendix removed, or a gall bladder, or some other common surgery.

some of the posts …
some of the posts amuse me to no end.

they are so sure that the govt does not care about the people that they would wholeheartedly support, of all things, the insurance companies.

it is beyond my understanding why anyone would support the profit seeking insurance industry over the govt.

Wow. You “get” …
Wow. You “get” nothing. For what it’s worth, I went to that school over 20 years ago.

Ad hominem attacks do not address anything useful.

So, I will simply observe that obviously, whatever school you went to didn’t teach you much about manners or spelling.

Enjoy your VA health coverage (government health benefits? ) At least you have health benefits to complain about, if you are not completely satisfied with them. My family members who were in the military are fine with theirs.
