I think I need to stay off of Facebook. I only go there to learn about medical conditions oh, mainly cuz I can’t figure out how to use the rest of the site. And I don’t want to take the time to learn. So I just wander into these groups about retinal detachment and dry eyes, another one of my issues.
And anytime someone asks a question about how much a procedure or drops or anything cost, all these rapid socialists in Canada or the UK or Australia show up and brag about how everything they get is “free”.
Ignored it for a while, and just concentrated on learning about the medical issues. But now I’ve had enough so I’m fine with picking fights. Not really picking fights but just pointing out that nothing is free, they should look at the overall taxes they pay compared to us. They should also look at the Epic anomic opportunities that they don’t have and their living conditions compared to us. I know most live in apartments in most of Europe. My family doesn’t Italy, and they are amazed that we have a whole house to ourselves. And I don’t see the correlation between their socialism and their lack of economic opportunities.
Anyway these idiots say things like “ thank God for the NHS” and that they feel so sorry for us having to actually pay for our Medical Care.
BUT it took me three times to get a great physical therapist. If we were dealing with socialized medicine, I would get one therapist and that’s it. And if they didn’t know what they were doing that would be tough. Same with the bad orthopedic surgeons I went to they gave me the wrong diagnosis and set me back months. Even with her choice of medical care, it’s hard to get it right but at least we do have choices to walk away from incompetent people.
And as Rob pointed out to me, it’s a vicious cycle over there. As good paying jobs disappear, they become more dependent on the NHS. And the more dependent people are on social services, the more the economy tanks and there are less opportunities. And then people think they need all these Social Services even more. They don’t recognize that that is what is stealing their freedom.
Yes....these idiots don’t realize that NOTHING worth having is FREE, when it comes to healthcare.
They don’t even see that they are being sold out....taxed out...for sub-par care, while their ‘leaders’ are receiving sterling care, all on THEIR tax $$.
I have never been on FB and it’s probably for the best....for all :-)
David Frum: Shutdown Will End with ‘No Wall,’ Trump Backing Down
Get this, our car insurance just keeps going up and we have only had one small claim, in many years, to fix windshield when it was hit by a rock, so hubby calls to ask why.
He was told to blame Obummercare and the cost of care if you have an accident, REALLY!?
So I’m sure that all these folks who have FREE health care are paying for it in many hidden ways along with their taxes.
