    Better to have expensive service that is actually available when you need it. Socialized medicine means you’ll be waiting MONTHS for an appointment. Or they’ll just tell you to kill yourself. No joke.

      Says the person who clearly doesn’t have to see specialists in the US very often. We already have to wait months to see specialists.

      Who are you not needing to wait months for an appointment? Especially a specialist?

      Lol… and when you have no insurance they kick you out of the hospital.

      Maybe in the UK, nowadays, after the right-wingers gutted the NHS to try and move the country to privatised health care. But generally, you’re completely wrong on every count. I grew up with social health care and lived with it most of my life, and it’s better. No worrying about medical debt if I get sick, no prolonging waiting to go to a GP and letting it get worse, and no waiting if it’s urgent. The only time I had to wait for treatment was for nonessential surgery to get a ganglion out of my wrist. In the US they just told me to hit it with a heavy book and charged me.

      You’re either an idiot or a ghoul to think that private health care is better. Edit: I see by your post history it’s both. You’re reprehensible, and blocked.
