#Europeans, my brother @rook says if you brake your arm in European nations and it needs surgery, you'll have to wait for a year and a half to rebreak and then fix your arm because its so backed up that you're lucky if you get any medical service at all much less a surgery for low cost or free. How true is this? #Europe, #Medical, #MedicalTreatment
@gocu54 That sounds like American propiganda.
@gocu54 My grandparents had a similar problem in Canada. One of the many problems with socialized health care. Our system here has a lot of problems, but I'm very thankful that that isn't one of them.
@gocu54 These stories are usually greatly exaggerated. And the idea that socialized medicine inevitably leads to delays is just plain wrong. Delays are caused by politicians underfunding services. Just as delays in the US healthcare system are caused by private companies underfunding services in order to make bigger profits. Healthcare is only as good as the funding it gets. And without so many extraneous private companies in the middle, the per-capita spending on healthcare is much lower in European countries for similar or better health outcomes. But the US gave us Breaking Bad, so who can say which system is better? 🤷‍♀️
@gocu54 That is absolute nonsense.
@Mactonex Fortunately, it was my brother's opinion, not mine.
