Government controlled health care that so many here want.
I needed a aortic valve replacement and repair of my aorta due to an aortic aneurysm. I had been followed by cardiology for a few years. When it got to the point I needed surgery it was 3 weeks until it was done. I had Medicare and Blue Cross. I pay a lot for the Blue Cross. It was worth it. My surgery cost me nothing. In Canada I could have died waiting.
Reminds me of MASH the movie. "Painless" the dentist, is committing suicide (he thinks) the other docs have presented him with "The Black Capsule." Painless wants suicide due to the fact his once incredible manhood seems to have quit working. The Black Capsule is just a sedative and he wakes up thinking he is dead and in the afterlife with a most beautiful sensual woman (actually one of the nurses) and his manhood is restored via her attentions. All the while the music of "Suicide is Painless" plays in the background.
MASH was a brilliant movie and TV series.
