Might be worth reading the rest of the thread for context. 😘 I was merely responding to your written suggestion that health care needed more more money at the start of the thread. Other suggestions and pragmatic approaches followed from others but your starting point, like so many on the left, was ‘more money’ and that is and remains absolutely incorrect.

Houseplant Posted November 10 Report Share Posted November 10 I'm not an expert in healthcare policy, but a well regulated health insurance system is the way forward in my opinion. No fair-minded person would want the horrendous, out-of-control system that is in place in the USA, but we have to be honest and admit that even with the best of intentions, free-at-the-point-of-delivery public healthcare systems are horribly inefficient and don't deliver to patients. Australia has it about right I think, although it is not perfect. I know the term "private-public" is an anathema to some and the NHS is a sacred cow, but something has to change fundamentally.

Edtwozeronine Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 I faintly remember forgetting my last doctors appointment, called up as soon as I noticed and managed to get a midday cancelation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
