We The People – US Healthcare – 01 Sep 08 – Part 2
Most agree the US health system is broken but few agree on how to fix it. 47 million Americans don’t have health insurance and if you do not have insurance or plenty of money you cannot get medical care. We the People begins a new series looking at the issues in this year’s US presidential campaign by travelling to the Denver health facility in Colorado. the goal is to provide those even without insurance with stable health care. Is this the best model for the rest of the nation?…

Unfortunately those are a few of the biggest myths that are preventing america from fixing it’s health care problem. The hospitals in britain are not filthy, they are emaculate and the wait lines are nowhere near as long as ppl think. Plus the hospitals are based on priority… so the severity of your condition will determine when you get treatment. This allows EVERYONE who truely needs the treatment, to get it. I’m not saying it’s a perfect system… but it’s far better than america’s.

Complete TOSH! ‘
As for the story of the Headmaster it cannot be true because it breaches Article 1 of the NHS Constitution which provides care “irrespective of gender, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion or belief”.
I’ve lived 50 years in UK , seen many hospitals, & NONE could be described as “filthy”!
Nobody “dies” waiting. 2/3 are treated as emergencies or normal sched. Only 1/3 from a wait list. 67% of these are treated < 12 weeks after 1st referral.

they told me that pays about 350 dollars per month and it does not cover all their necessities, sometimes just for appointment they should pay a fee of 30 to 40 dollars. But for me the health issue is totally different. Recently I made a check in the hospital about a funny pain in my stomach, 3 appointments, x ray and scanner tests, and the results were a fat in my liver, nothing serious, but all these did not take more than 2 weeks and I did not spend any cent ( Just the tube)

Personal physician refers to the hospital.
CLOCK STARTS
(a) Book the 1st specialist appointment,
(b) make the first appointment,
(c) schedule any tests
(d) do the tests
(e) 2nd specialist appointment
(get the test results & discuss diagnosis. Agree the right treatment)
(g) Schedule the agreed treatment
(h) Begin the agreed treatment
(e,g, an operation).
Clock stops at point (h).
In reality there is very little waiting cos its not really dead time.

My sister and I are Peruvians, she got married to an American and moved to Tampa, I moved to Spain got married to a kiwi and then we moved to London. After some months in UK I felt so bad for the amount of taxes that I pay ( 25%) in comparison to my sister and her husband which pay around 10 to 13 % ( include federal taxes) in States. However my feelings changed when I noticed how much my sister and her family spend in a private medical insurance

What a load of rubbish. The NHS does not deny any care to people who need it. Hospitals are not filthy, the hospital that my mother had her hip replacement in was very clean, modern and efficient. Also an operation she would not have been able to afford on private healthcare. I am personally extremely grateful for everything the NHS has done.

This, and Michael Moore’s documentary SICKO, don’t show you the flipside of free universal heathcare.
In Britain, hospitals are filthy. You can get free medical treatment, but you may have to wait months for it (an some people die waiting). If you’re over a certain age, you may be denied help. My school’s Headmaster had kidney disease, but was denied free treatment because he was over 60.
If I need an operation that costs $60,000, I’m going to India or Thailand for it.
