I have a friend who has three sons. Two of these intelligent young men are currently liveing is Spain because the style of living is better over there than here in America.
One of the things they enjoy is health care.It's universal. They don't have to decide whether or not to go to the doctor, or pay their rent that month. The young men can even get prescriptions filled and still be able to buy food.
this country is fantastic in many ways. but our healthcare system sucks. Part of the problem is the cost of medications...because the manufacturers help fund future drugs on the sale of present ones.
I kinda wonder where all the money raised in the last fifty years to find the cure for cancer. treatments have improved, for sure...if you can afford them. But not cure.
And the inventor of the mammogram must have been a man who graduated from the marque de sade school of medicine.
I have worked out a personal solution for the high cost of health care. I simply wait until something really drastic happens, go the the emergency room, get cured, then ignore the hospital bills. It's not a great solution, but until this country can solve the problem for everyone, it'll have to do.
Hey, I don't claim to have the answers for everything, but I know that things must change, and in ways the people who uses these programs can understand without taking out a college degree before going to the doctor.
