Interesting video. Not any more objective than Michael Moore's films but interesting.
Reminded me of some of my experiences with
our great healthcare system here in the US of A.
Like the time the emergency room doctor asked me to look at a x-ray and guess if it was of my hand(which I had injured) because they forgot to label the film and were not sure who's hand it was. He wasn't joking.
Like the time I was sent to the ER in a ambulance for severe stomach pain and was still on the gurney, in the hallway, unseen by a doctor, 5 hrs later.
Like the time my 20 month old daughter was sent to the ER for severe dehydration and after 4 nurses and 3 doctors failed to get a IV started. They shrugged and said, "We can't do anything for her, just take her home and do the best you can."
Like the time my medical insurance company refused to pay for my new born daughter's stay in the hospital. She was born 2 months premature. They said her stay in intensive care was 'unnecessary'.
Like the time the same insurance company offered to pay $2.50 for a $3,500.00+ hospital bill for treatment of my daughter by her doctor who was a participating physician in their plan.
On and on and on. And these were all different hospitals. And we had insurance!
I don't know if national healthcare is the answer or not, but certainly things ain't rosy as they are. That's enough to keep me open to suggestions.
BO made healthcare reform one of his campaign pledges. Funny that we should be suprised he actually intends keep it.
