Go to Canada and report back.
Had to wait 12 hours in er when I was a kid, more recently my dad had to wait 24 fucking hours for something that was even more urgent. And you can't even just fuck off back home and have them call you on your phone, you have to stay there with the diseased pajeets and niggers and their kids coughing in your face and be a good goy and not punch one of them even though they deserve worse.
Here's a report I heard from an American citizen in Ireland, which is a part of the EU.
"I fainted and broke my jaw in Ireland. My first thought when I woke up in a pool of my own blood was to tell my sister not to call an ambulance. My second thought was how much is this going to cost. This is all before the ambulance came and rushed me to the ER. My sister’s boyfriend, now husband stayed with me the night before a major exam he had to take for his Master’s degree, solidified his character to me. He did NOT need to do that. Then when I came to I kept asking, “How much? How much?” Spiraling thinking it’s going to be like $40,000. For full jaw reconstruction it was $150."
No waiting lines, no hassle, costs less than a fucking Nintendo to fix some dude's broken jaw.
I don't know about expats, but I live in a socialized healthcare country (one that is considered high level quality wise) and had a surgery that was set in a year and a half time until the surgery. Going through private it was two months. Ditto just going to most specialists can be months in waiting unless you go to ones in the other side of the country. Basically the system has no way to protect itself against people who swamp it with unnecessary appointments.
Lucky you. Talk about complaining that your cake didn't come with strawberries.
Meanwhile, here in America, people who have paid a fortune to these companies get FUCKING NOTHING despite having paid into the system, because the company introduced an AI that denied as many claims as possible. They die, broken and alone, abandoned by the same system that they made rich.
Of course, that doesn't count the welfare queens. Medicaid gets them fixed up good with minimal cost.
People would still rather live in the USA than stay in Europe/UK/Canada.
Unless they're sick. Then they'd choose the latter.
Obamacare was an attempt to force through socialized esque healthcare and it just made everything worse. And you can be sure if everybody behaved like welfare queens then very few would be able to access it.
There are millions of welfare queens in America. There are also millions of tax-paying people in America. Guess which one gets the better healthcare? Hint: it's not the taxpayers.
If you want to reform the system from the vast corruption then it's an admirable goal. But going with the idea of letting the government run it, when most of the problems in the first place stem from government corruption is insanity.
Meanwhile, your only complaint with government healthcare is that YOU HAD TO WAIT. People who paid into the medical insurance scam here in America don't get anything at all despite giving up fortunes to these companies.
Goddamn, you really have a skewered set of priorities. But then again, what can I expect from someone who has a fetish for seeing God-fearing, tax-paying, good American citizens get FUCKED IN THE ASS by wealthy corporate parasites who have contributed nothing good to society? Your only solution for them is "lie back and think of the private sector", when all the private sector healthcare wants to do is rob you blind and give you nothing.
I don't know why some retards are trying tk shit on Luigi because he's rich, white and handsome. We know, and that makes what he did all the more admirable. He was a man who had everything and killed a parasite that took everything from those with nothing. There are no working class heroes (if they even exist in the first place), and 99% of males are so numbed by vidya, porn, fast food and goyslop to take action in spite of how much complaning they do. Luigi took action and was willing to pay the price, and didn't harm an innocent man, woman or child. If you don't get why that turns women on (or enjoys plenty of popular support) you're a legit no-hoper.
Exactly. If he had nothing to lose, then it's more predictable he'd try to go out with a bang, but if this dude didn't shoot the CEO, he'd be set for life. He sacrificed that comfy position in life to shed light to a true evil in our midst. He should be seen as a hero for all.
If only all upper class Americans were that selfless.
