> So not only do Americans get to wait twice as long, but they have to pay for it as well? You have to pay for ambulances? Why is this not politicized more? Americans have come to accept many things about how their country functions as just normal, and they don't realize it can be, and is, so much better in other parts of the world. I'm visiting after three years of going around Africa, and it's staggering to see how the USA functions and what people have accepted. (I've spent time in about 10 states so far this time around, East coast and West. I will hit another 20 or so this summer)
