"My sister is an ER doctor in the US; we don't turn people away."
They make them wait for hours, make people who are in very bad shape fill out paperwork before treatment and then charge astronomical and seemingly totally made up prices. The US definitely has the spirit "I have got mine, I deserve it and fuck everybody else"
- jmugan 4y agoYeah, but you wait and fill out paperwork even if you are paying. Clearly, we need to improve things.
- jmugan 4y agoEveryone agrees it is a terrible system. The high prices are because many people cannot pay, and the wait is because many people have no where else to go. We just can't seem to get from our system to a better one, but it's not because we are evil. Our healthcare system is in a stuck bad state and change is complicated. Prescription drugs are a whole other thing. Those high prices are because you will die if you don't get the drugs. That's a relatively easy fix, and there is no excuse for our government not taking action on that.
