Many people in America are unhappy with the healthcare situation. It's too expensive!
However, you shouldn't look at other countries and think that their healthcare is better. It isn't.
Many look at the United Kingdom's socialist healthcare and think that it would be GREAT if we had that over here. It would NOT! That healthcare is similar to the healthcare that veterans receive over here. Just imagine = you need your gall bladder removed. If we had UK's healthcare = you would have to wait for months for your surgery = you would be on a waiting list. It isn't free healthcare. You are paying for it = comes out of your check. In UK so much comes out of their checks that many over there can barely get by.
Our healthcare has lots of issues. Main issue is greed. As citizens we are being milked dry by our medical industries. Medical bills are out of sight. It's insane the cost of medical procedures.
However, most of our economy depends on the medical industry. Since many factory jobs went overseas, we have become very reliant on medical jobs. Many of the higher paying jobs are affiliated with the medical industry.
This is why I stress that even though our system is flawed in many ways = it can always be worse. We have to reboot our system. Tossing the American healthcare system out of the window will cause more damage than good. Hopefully, we can come up with a solution that works for all of us.
Take care,
