A L KatzAmerica doesn't have a health CARE system. We have a health INSURANCE system. That ain't the same thing.
When anyone walks in the door, our first question isn't "How can we fix you?", it's "How're you gonna pay for this?"
That's barbaric.
thomas yager-madden@Alan And US “health insurance” isn’t even *insurance* in the usual sense of people pooling risk in order to share the costs of unlikely catastrophe. Everyone needs to visit the doctor; it isn’t a risk, it’s a certainty. What we get for our premiums is *rationed access to health care* while the insurance companies invest our money in financial markets for their profit, like any other hedge fund managers
