For all it’s faults, we have the best medical system in the world; evidenced by the fact that world leaders, millionaires and elites almost always come here for treatment of major illnesses and injuries.

One of our local HMOs is in trouble for patient dumping. Not that we have a two-tier system or anything.

Then, of course, there was the recent dust up about conditions in building 18 at Walter Reed:

Behind the door of Army Spec. Jeremy Duncan's room, part of the wall is torn and hangs in the air, weighted down with black mold. When the wounded combat engineer stands in his shower and looks up, he can see the bathtub on the floor above through a rotted hole. The entire building, constructed between the world wars, often smells like greasy carry-out. Signs of neglect are everywhere: mouse droppings, belly-up cockroaches, stained carpets, cheap mattresses. from the Washington Post

Well, we know the Washington Post wouldn’t exaggerate conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center to try to malign the current GOP administration, like they did the Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Bush, Sr. White Houses. No, Siree!
