Sound-off |
Our Health care is Broken
My son was recently on tour in Europe with his band, while in England he got sick and went to the hospital. He was there for 6 hours and had every test under the sun done, they found he had pnemonia. When he left he didn't have to pay a dime, it was all FREE. I asked him how he got it free since he wasn't a British Citizen, he had a work permit.
I lost my job in June and with it, my insurance. While my son is in England getting free medical I'm sitting in California hoping I don't get sick cause I can't afford to go to a doctor.
If it works in other countries why can't it work here? I know some of you'll will write me giving me 10 million reasons why it won't work here. But something has to be done. There's a saying, "If it ain't broken, don't fix it." Well ,our health care is Broken and something needs to be done. In this big beautiful country of ours can't we find a happy medium?
