Good work friend in early 50s was having a little trouble catching his breath. Boss sent him home and said see your MD. MD gave EKG...nothing showed but sent him to cardiologist later in the morning. Cardio put him upon the stress machine. Again nothing but the doc called Long Island Jewish cardio center and set up a nuclear stress test. My friend walked in to LIJ at 3PM. Cardiologist said to forget the stress test and set him up for a catherization. Found a blockage in an artrrial branch, put in a stent. Kept tim overnight. He was back at work a day later. He’s a big lefty who wants single payer. I told him I was happy he was okay but that there was no other country in the world where he could walk i to a PCP’S office at 10 AM with mild symptoms and be wheeled into a recovery room at 6PM the same day fully repaired. He had to agree.

Maybe so, but the good thing about socialized medicine is that the care you don't get is free. How many other systems can boast the same?
