And it's not just big surgery. My sister-in-law was a Brit (was because she died of cancer they could have cured in the US). She had a secretary. That woman's daughter had her shin broken in a soccer game, needed a cast. I was Friday night. The hospital sent her home told her to come back Monday.
To the government, our healthcare is a cost center. They do everything they can to reduce costs. I don't want to live under that system. I understand it looks good if you have no insurance, or if the insurance costs too much. But the great majority of Americans are better off with current system.
