Sometimes the robot will give you Dr. Max Headroom.

Sometimes the robot will give you some nice potassium chloride in your drip.

Do any of you know any grown-ups, anywhere, who have the slightest actual belief that "healthcare" of the state, by the state, and for the state is or will be anything less than an IRL horror movie?
The horror movie is when you don't get medical care at all.

I have faith in the Swiss, they know how to run shit, private pays for public basic, in return, profit is allowed for those who want more.

The flaw in Obamacare? Didn't make the private pay for the public basic, so no cost controls.
The Swiss seem to have nearly everything figured out Unfortunately, I don't think its scalable to a mutlicultural mega-nation
They invented watches for god sake of course they have most everything figured out. Bunch of diligent orderly people.

Too orderly.

Switzerland gets real boring real fast, America is where the party is, the Swiss are a big snore.

The Swiss have a pretty good grip on the secret to life: Think locally, act locally.

No, America has it right, big rambunctious free for all democracy.

But that cannot be serviced well by government central planning, Americans look to the private sector, because they know government will be sad and failing most of the time.

Dude the US government has been running and ruining health care since right after WWII, and the whole system is a basket case.

A basket case.

As compared to whom? Canadian Universal Death Panels?

Only the Swiss have it better, America is second best after the Swiss.

I took 5 people to get me, my wife and my most recent son from the hospital to our car.

I called a clinic the other day to schedule an appointment for my wife, they said I couldn't do that because of HIPAA.

I good doctor friend of mine had to take a week long class on communicating in English before the AMA would certify him as an MD because he is technically ESL, even though he's lived here since he was 8 and you could tell he spoke normal English with a 15 minute conversation. One more $50,000 bill added on to the cost to become a doctor for no reason.

The governments hands are all over our medicine.
