i really don't get all the hysteria? But I live in ireland wer we have public health care... If you want to pay and have private thats your choice and if you want public health care for for free, then you can. Our public health care system is flawed and mis managed and there is always problems with funding going to the right places... BUT... at least if your sick or arive in ER of a hospital you get seen and fixed for free if you have no private health insuance... I'd rather have a public health care system that was flawed then none at all??
And I've been asking about these supposed Death Boards you are all concerned about in the USA and I was told that the person has the right to sign a form asking not to be resusuitated if they are cronic and terminal and going to die anay way and don't want to drag on in pain if the have a cardiac arrest etc... if this is true I would gladley sign such a form if I was in that position.... Can any one explain to me if you are going to have the right to still have private health insurance as well as public??? In the USA?
I saw the film Sicko by Micheal Moor and I cried my eyes out at it ... if this is any way true then surely you Americans have the worst system going.. Private health care who wont pay out ...and have currupt people actually making millions to deny private insurance paying people their health costs when they apply.... as well as poor people who can'r afford to pay hospitals going untreated or facing bankrupsy after being treated and presented massive bills?
How can any thing be worse then the way America's health care was???
