This sounds like an Obama dream for the US. He can’t wait to bring America to its knees before his term is up. The rush is on to finish the job before his Teflon wears off completely.
GE donating a BILLION DOLLARS in used, off-lease, out-of-date equipment to NHS last year should have been a big clue, with flashing lights, for what nationalized healthcare really is, but the US Media refused to cover it, for fear of harming a Democrat.
Actually we do.
Yes, the NHS is flawed, sometimes badly. BUT the UK does not have a third rate, hellhole of a healthcare system (and of course many of us in the UK have private care).
If Americans actually used the NHS, whilst they may find bits of it inferior to the US, they would be pleasantly surprised at how good it is, given the horror stories they have been told.
I’m not going to any hospital any more unless I’m already unconscious and someone else calls 911.
Had to call 911 this Sunday because I hurt my back so bad I was down on the floor.I live alone and couldn’t even get in a cab, let alone my own car. EMTs were rude and argumentative and told me I wasn’t helping them and that I would go to the nearest hospital, even though it’s not where my doctors are and where I always go. Treated me like a nuisance because I asked them to grab my purse, glasses and a coat before we left. I had to drag myself to open my front door for them so they wouldn’t have to break a window.
Glad they got me to the hospital. Everybody’s attitude was great. Blood pressure went from 170/105 to 137/80 as soon as I got away from those goons. Won’t be calling them again for anything short of chest pain or respiratory distress. I’m sure they’ll be happier with that situation—maybe.
Been in health care for 35 years. Never thought I’d ever see EMTs this rude. What gives?
