I'd bet we'd be popular if we got rid of 80% of the population from the southern half of our country.

What absolute drivel. Waiting a year to see an Oncologist or receive chemotherapy or radiation therapy? Laughable. Waiting a year for elective surgeries, probably. Seeing as elective surgeries aren't really essential, they take a back seat.

You're suggesting someone's hip replacement should take precedent over a life saving operation just because they were in line first?


edit: Also, because everyone is guaranteed treatment, our system is still superior to yours. Yes.

What does homeowners insurance have to do with health insurance? Also, when did I move back to Nashville?

I've had elective surgery in the UK without being a resident with a 2 hour wait. It was elective.


As for radiation treatment, my mother receives about four rounds a year and she doesn't even have cancer. This is on state health care.



A problem I've seen in the UK is that in rural areas, you won't have specialists and the NHS insists on seeing one for very specialist problems, so you might have to take a trip to London. I've had the same in Germany and (gasp!) in the US. Actually, I think I waited something like 4 hours to get a vaccination I didn't even need in the US because they couldn't comprehend my vaccination pass because it was not from a Western nation. So they just gave me another round of vaccine, on my private health insurance, because they were bloody stupid. Great medical care, yeah.

In other news, I just applied for my EHIC - NHS coverage all over Europe. Hell yeah.

Of course he did.

So biased towards European socialist countries that it ranks Japan as the number 1 healthcare system in the world!

We've covered this varus. They didn't die of heart attacks while waiting in an ambulance. They died in the hospital a couple of days later. Old people dying of heart attacks pretty much happens everywhere, all the time. They also had medical staff treating them immediately on arrival.

That's the link in your lastest post. Try to coordinate yourself a little better eh? Linking isn't really that hard.

I was replying to that post. If you knew the link was stupid and didn't support your case at all why link it? Feel free to give me another link to reply to, but I can't be ***** to go back and figure out what you're referring to.

You don't expect him to actually fact check, or read, most of the sh*t he cuts and pastes and post, do you?
