On and on and on. And these were all different hospitals. And we had insurance!

What insurance company would that be?
Re: the video, I'm not sure how strong this guy's point it. Our clinics and doctor offices are usually closed on weekends too (aren't they?) and our e-rooms are packed, with insane long waits too -- mainly because the hospital will not refuse care to illegal aliens and people with no insurance and who refuse to pay--the e-room is their "family doctor".
What we need is to go to having state hospitals manned by volunteer profressionals and funded by people who are so gung ho about universal health care for those who will not pay, and leave the private hospitals for people who pay and for professionals who want to be compensated properly. Let's see how that works
