With all of the presidential chaos going on, it reminded me of a conversation I had with a client that had lived in England where they have Socialized Medicine. Something I urge all of you NOT to vote for. Her brother needs help, and they will not give any patient an appointment to see a doctor until a consultation over the phone is conducted. Once that is verified then you get an appointment which is weeks out...imagine how much more ill you can become just waiting. We are very lucky in this country to be able to get in to a doctor the SAME day and be seen. Count your blessings. Another person I had a conversation had a father living in New Zealand. This lady was very well to do and was insistent in telling me how wonderful the care was there. I explained, my view from years of working in this industry...which did not matter to her until... her father was sick. They basically told her, your dad is too old to treat and of course he did pass away shortly after this illness.
I know I don't want to wait 6 months if I needed an MRI...this is what we hare headed for, if we don't pay attention to what we vote for.
