I'm from Scotland but close enough.  Yeah we have to wait a short time for non-emergency operations but I don't have to wait to see my personal doctor or dentist so I'm pretty happy.  In no way am I saying our healthcare system is the best in the world though but it seems to work quite well.

yeah it's funny how delusional the neo-cons are.

In america it's "common knowledge" that in the UK they have to wait weeks just go get a simple doctor's appointment.

Wow, I just read all 10 pages of this and that was intense! I'm still confused as why some people don't want semi-socialist health care when they already have a socialist police force and fire brigade.  Any of you ever seen Sicko? Admittedly Michael Moore is quite annoying but some so the points he brings up are good. 

For example, A man loses 2 of his fingers in an industrial accident and goes to the ER. So they ask him if he has health insurance but he doesn't have any because A) He can't afford it because even though he works a full week he's on minimum wage and thus can't afford that and to feed his family or B) He's been denied Healthcare because of one of the many pre-existing conditions that make him ineligible for it.  Either way, the doctor says it'll cost you $60,000 for the index finger or $12,000 for the ring finger. He can only afford one if he breaks into his savings so he goes for the ring finger.  Sadly now though he can't work in that same job because of this accident.

In what country would you not be outraged to hear that?? In Canada, Cuba or any European country (and many more) they'd have re-attached his fingers without a moments notice and he'd be fine.  You might have to pay more taxes which always sucks but it's for the greater good.   

Just my 2p




In America every employer who has over a certain number of employees must carry work comp insurance or be in violation of the law.  An 'industrial accident' would be covered under work comp, most likely.  So for that type of injury he wouldn't have to pay anything out of pocket.  Just an fyi for everyone i guess.

Fair play, I don't have that much of an idea of his situation.  Might have been a small company or self employed.  Mostly getting the point across that he could be turned away at the hospital for not having the cash to re-attach his fingers seems pretty cold.  Also, I've never heard anybody over here think that it takes 6 months to get a dental appointment, I personally always thought it was a pretty quick turnaround.
