So she is just out of luck. Easy to say things like that when you are not in pain. In some countries it would come quickly, Swisstzerland and Austrailia come to mind. Doesn’t surprise me your side paints with a very broad brush anyways. By the way when you mentioned Canadians coming, you forgot a very important qualfier, RICH Canadians!
Really? How would a long wait have helped her at all? Check the lines in Canada, I’m not in favor for waiting 5 hours for a scheduled appointment.
First comparing the new system to Canada is getting old and worn out. The Swiss do very well with theirs and so do the Austrailians. 5 hour wait for an apointment is better than no appointment.
:clapping:
My response would be why wasn’t this woman on medicaid? If she had a low enough income she would qualify and if her income is too high she should buy her own health insurance just like the rest of us. As a last resort she could have turned to charity.
A sad commentary? Do you know if she contacted any Christian charities? Did she contact Catholic Charities? I personally know several people who have gotten medical care from charitable organizations. It’s there if you just look for it.:clapping:
Sniveling? Christ is more likely doing more than a few sniffles. More likely He’s :crying:
It is just a total and complete shame a country as blessed as ours can not do what Christ taught for righteousness in Matt 25:35:42, " I was hungry but you would not feed me, thirsty but you would not give me a drink;43 I was a stranger but you would not welcome me in your homes, naked but you would not clothe me; **I was sick **and in prison but you would not take care of me. (GNT) One can not truly follow Christ otherwise.
A sad commentary on us as Christians as as a nation indeed. :sad_yes:
I join Christ in tears.
Of course I paint with a broad brush. That’s what you do when proposing a system to cover 300 million people.

Speaking of that, if you are that concerned why don’t you contact her and offer to pay for her medical care? Of course it’s a lot easier to say her healthcare should be paid for when it’s being paid for with someone else’s money isn’t it?
Not everyone who has resources above the Medicaid level can afford to pay for quality affordable health insurance without ridiculously high deductibles in which the insurance is basically useless and only serves to profit the insurance industry. I’m glad you can afford yours though.
My that was a snarky comment. How much money do you think I make working as a retail associate?
I’m all for giving money to charities who help people with medical care. The difference between you and me is I refuse to use the police power of government to force someone else to do it.Why don’t you if you care for the sick pay for another’s healthcare too? Individuals alone can’t pay for a nation’s healthcare. But when the Church and charity have miserably failed… then we can collectively (called a government in a democracy) step up to the plate and exercise a role to make Christ’s mission a reality for all. It takes a village. Not one individual doing it all.
God bless.
I am sorry if I came across as snarky. CAF drags me down sometimes. I know there’s a difference between you and me. And I don’t know your politics. But if you’re like the typical conservative who opposes national healthcare, you’re probably fine with the govt policing other areas of people’s private lives. Peace.My that was a snarky comment.

So some people can get good care, others get little or no care vs. everyone gets second rate care. What makes the latter better?
Who said render to Caesar? The tooth fairy?
City govts already disperse water. And govt already does much for your welfare. Money for your police and fire protection. For schools. Roads. And all sorts of things. Govt has a role whether you think so or not.1 & 2 If one has a pre existing condition and can even get affordable coverage, and has to pay at least $200 - $300/mo or more but first has to pay a ridiculously high $5000 - $10,000 in deductibles before the coverage kicks in, it’s useless unless a major hospitalization and that’s assuming they can afford the first thousands of dollars in bills to begin with.
If it was up to me they would have less profit magin. As far as I am concerned “Obamacare” did not go far enough. If not single payer at the very least we need a public option to provide greater competition. Without it all we did besides eventually eliminating pre-existing conditions, is to eventually force everyone to buy private insurance. if you’re more worried about their margins, that should help.

- the actual above policies are examples
As I said for major hospitalizations assuming the person can afford the deductible and premiums.
