The fact remains, which everyone is conveniently ignoring, out of all the industrialized nations we - supposedly the wealthiest - cannot provide all of our citizens with decent healthcare. Is it that we have a government staffed with incompetents or an electorate that cannot seem to elect sufficient intelligent members of Congress?
Before some gives me that best healthcare in the world crap pause and recall that I watched helplessly as the system failed my wife and let her die. The best healthcare she received was at my hands, the next best care was at the hospice where they sent her to die. As for the hospitals I would not send my worst enemy to Medstar Montgomery and I would give serious thought before I sent one of our cats to Howard County General Hospital. I failed her by not taking her to Canada.
