Butch we don’t need universal heathcare or Medicare. For all in the US. We have the best system. In the world … if you are wealthy or not in the need of medical care. Other wise your screwed. We have good car insurance. When James got into an accident with our car the hospital insisted he take a cat scan. The scan cost 16 grand. The insurance paid like 1 or 2 thousand of that. James was on the hook for the rest. He was a young kid and he had no way to pay that. I had to wait three years with no left hip / leg bone because I couldn’t pay the co-pays for the needed hip replacement. I waited 9 months for a new primary care doctor a few years ago. I waited five months for an emergence heart doctor appointment last spring. So don’t give me long wait times for a Canadian style or UK style program. Hugs. Scottie
