Czuch: Isn't it interesting that all countries of socialized medicine have citizens that come to the US for health care but you don't see US citizens rushing to those countries for health care needs. In the US, if I need to see my cardiologist I can get in within weeks. If it's an emergency, I see him right away. Any test I need can be done in short order. I don't have to wait months. When I went to see my cardiologist last week he determined I needed a stress test. In 10 minutes I was in the testing room. Within an hour I was talking to my doctor about the results. Then they sent me for a blood test and that took 15 mins.
People in socialized medicine countries can't get this kind of care. They get on waiting lists and in some cases they have lotteries. Obama is messing up everything. People will NOT like what he's planning if they would only listen to the warnings. Even MPs from Britain are warning the US NOT to go socialized medicine!
