Where do they go? America! No where else! We may have to pay insurance premiums, but at the end of the day, that buys us the best stuff money can buy bar none! That is what i want if I ever get sick! Not some Socialist medicine that is a decade or more behind ours! Crazy!

And I get worked on same day if i need it here for any ailment.

Whose "they?"

I've been injured quite badly during my short life once upon a time... I never went to America to get better.

You think you've got the best healthcare in the world?
On what do you found that that claim? When there is plenty of evidence to the contrary.

If you read only the first paragraph of the World Health link... it says France has the best overall medical provision, followed by Italy, Spain, Oman, Austria and Japan. America ain't even on the list!

WHO's reports rank your healthcare as 37th as compared to the UK's 18th. So the US health system is NOT the best in the world. Far from it in fact. The French healthcare is the best in the world. So tell me... why would "they" want to avoid the countries you list like plague... when they are all better than the US model?
Sicko lied. They took you to hospital in Cuba to show its better care than the US. If you analyze the facts however, they took you to a tiny section of the hospital that is reserved for the elites of Cuba! It was all a show and Micheal Moore hid that from you.

And the rest of your reports focus on life expectancy, yet fail to notice stress and effects of society. It takes better medicine here to counteract the fast pace of life, and the severely over weight population - but nothing you report takes that into account.

Want to see what hospitals really look like in Cuba? Here ya go!
