OT: Health Care in Mexico vs. U.S. (related to “Father is visiting and hospitalized…”)

[quote=Russell] I would kind of expect to be bossed around and condescended to in my time of loss, at the pound.[/quote]

Not true. I’ve been frequenting the pound on Gaines St for years.

You don’t need any letter from a Vet to put down a pet. You just tell them what the condition is and why the pet needs to be euthanized.

They take the pet to the back and when the deed is done, they will show you the body.

Since Joan Crock donated a bunch of money to the pound, the facilities are excellent and the service is great too.

So far, all we hear from the party of NO…[/quote]

More talking point garbage. Pretty soon you’ll start sprinkling perjoratives like “rethugs”, “wingnuts”, “teabaggers” in your posts like a good little liberal.

There are plenty of conservatives that have ideas for health care reform. However, you aren’t going to hear a whole lot about it unless you go somewhere besides HuffPo.

Everyone agrees that there is a crisis and we need to do something about it. We just don’t agree on what. However “our way or the highway”, which is the position of most of the Democrats in congress, is not going to elicit alot of bipartisan support for the crap they are pushing.

Frankly, I don’t want a government bureaucracy, like the ones that run the DMV, the USPS and FEMA running healthcare in this country.

I’m looking forward to November..

[quote=briansd1]Illegals don’t get any health care now… If we turn them away from the emergency rooms, that is effectively condemning them to die on the streets.[/quote]

It doesn’t help your position to perpetuate not only fallacies but outright lies.

Illegals all get excellent healthcare right now…all they have to do is show up to an emergency room. And since they will never be able to pay for the care (and even if they could how can you track someone down who is here under the radar) you and I get to pay for it–at least I do..I actually buy my own health insurance.

[quote=eyePod]My young daughter almost died in Mexico. We own a house in the interior, down in the heartland. Her condition deteriorated so fast she ended up having surgery there. And no, they did not demand payment or insurance in advance. This was in the highest end private clinic in town. They did however, demand payment in full before discharge. And I agree with all the previous comments about the great bedside manner and care. And the cost (cash) was about what my deductible would have been in the states.[/quote]

Many years ago, so my Dad tells me, US hospitals use to operate like this: you went and paid your bill the day you went home.
