You two aren't disagreeing.
You say we should talk about the epidemic of people unable to afford primary care, pushing treatment later and later, eventually into the ER where they may not even be able to be saved - and even if they do, suffer long-term health effects due to the delay in treatment.
And he's saying that this is because the system does refuse to treat people - especially at the primary care level.
These two topics seem to line up just fine.
- carbocation 14y agoYes, that's why my point was to ask that we refrain from falsely hyperbolic statements (people don't get treatment) so we can focus on the myriad true problems that most agree exist, some of which you pointed out.
