Aaaand... a pet peeve

Meredith Crumb of Lafayette, Colo., reckons that Medi-Share paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to treat her leukemia, now in remission.

"I found it by word of mouth in the Christian community," said Crumb, 50. "I had top-notch care."

She worries what would have happened to her if she had to rely on government-regulated coverage. "I know with my medical conditions, if I lived in Canada or Europe, I'd be dead," she said.


No you fucking wouldn't, you bleeding moron. Life-threatening diseases get prompt care (and of the same quality if not better than here). But thanks for drinking the Medical Complex Kool-Aid! We all know how refreshing and healthy it is.

Ah, yes. Primitive Europe. Life expectancy about 30, rampant malnutrition, dwelling in caves. Oh, and I'm already dead.

We have most certainly see our medicare patients really suffer from delay in medical care.

What we have seen is people lose their house or their life from not having insurance and therefore access to care.

Yep.

I only see US people posting that they are unable to go to the doc, have ops, get meds etc due to $$$. Cdns are fully covered for all medical problems.
My nephew had leukemia - all treatment was covered plus we had extra $$ for travel, diapers and special diet.

Tell me about it. It galls me to live in a country where people have no capability for independent or critical thought where taxes and commerce are concerned. Taxes, commerce and death, actually. It's as if they really believe they can avoid death or taxes or both, but if they can't really, at least business can!

Definitely.

How can some people be that ignorant? Here in France we choose our doctor/clinic, we have superb care, and it's practically free (for the moment, because our President would like to adopt the US model).

Because they would rather believe what someone on TV tells them is the interpretation rather than investigate it themselves.
