How socialist health care saves lives
Jesus H C. This is obscene. Of course I live in a country with universal health care. It’s not the greatest but I can walk into any doctor’s office or hospital, flash my health card* and get treatment. No co-payments, no arguments, and the concept of “out of network” does not exist.
* In an emergency an expired health card or previous admission record will do. Actually no one is likely to worry about it in an emergency. I discovered this after taking a nasty fall during an ice storm that left me with 13 stitches in my head and an expired health card. Staff simply say that they will track it down later.
