US Health System Ranks Last Compared to Other Countries: Studies - CommonDreams.org You can check some links where the comments provided in those link. Some US workers can't afford to join health insurance because they are too expensive - no wonder why there're over millions people don't have healthcare insurance when they are workers. |

I'm with Liebling...
It's true about over million of people dont have insurance, plus health insurance at my workplace is so expensive, except for open enrollment but more limited time to find insurance for better price and I won't want go for it. I'm support free medical center, known as universal health center, that what Canada, UK and other countries are offers that but I don't go to doctor so often, just like twice (if repeated for one more because occur at twice sometime) in 3-4 month due bad colds and need antibiotic because it don't sold in non-Rx area.

Leibling, now I am very curious. What are the attitudes in
general, of doctors towards patients over where you are? Here in the US doctors often treat patients, (no matter what their economic status) like this, "I am the doctor, I have all authority and nothing you say is important or relavant" My natriopathic doctor is not like this. But many regular doctors are. It has been one of the frustrating things with our system. Here is an example. I take care of my elderly mom. Since I have been doing this she has had 4 surgeries. Because she has a mechanical heart valve she is on a blood thinner called coumadin. When she has had surgeries in the past they gave her another short term blood thinner after the surgery at the same time as restarting her coumadin. This was supposed to be a saftey prevention because coumadin takes a long time to build up in the body. I told them she was reacting differently, (she was bleeding through early and hemmoraging before her blood levels of coumadin reached safe levels) I showed them research but no one would listen. (a common problem here) She almost died after each surgery. On the fourth surgery, (she got knocked down by our goat and broke her arm) they had finally decided that I was correct. She sailed through the surgery no problems. Also with all the tax and fees and private ins taken out of your check do you actually get to take any money home? Can your two parent families afford to have one parent be a stay at home with the children? Technically we shouldn't be able to afford for me to stay home with a family of eight and less than $35,000 per year. (I do a lot of creative financing and bartering) But is important to both my husband and I that one of us be home to homeschool our brood. One thing I have noticed is that it is difficult to get info about what really goes on in other countries. Thanks |

I just read the above article which from the link you provide and there
is conflicting info. If you read the article I posted, It says that Brittan ranks LAST in providing health care and that the waiting lines are horrible. Yet the article you posted (and they were both current) says Brittan ranks first. Both can not be true. In reading your artical more carfully it appears that the info they got was not from statistics but from interviews of doctors in the various countries. I would doubt the accuracy of such a method of determining health care quality. |

Why should my tax dollars pay for medical insurance for people who can afford their own? Then I won't have enough money for my own medical needs.

I hope you're not requesting antibiotics just for colds. Antibiotics don't cure colds, and overuse or misuse of them actually make you more susceptible to super bugs.

Hillary won 2nd term Senate against other opponents who had no political experience.
I disagree. Hillary won due to name recognition only. It is a sad state when people vote for someone because they can't remember anyone elses name. I was traveling through Arkansas when clinton was elected. I asked a woman who was sitting at a gas station doing peice work(arts and crafts) while waiting for her hubby to finish work. I asked her, "So what do you guys think of Clinton being elected president?" She said, (with a tone of disgust) "He will tax the hell out of the US just the way he taxed the hell out of Arkansas, and you guys deserve what ever you get for being stupid enough to elect him." The peice work she was doing was in addition to having worked 8 hours that day. Just to make ends meet. |

Every people has different health problem, mine aren't same as your.

But he had no reason to have war. And it was easier to just improve economy. But then if it wasn't for 9/11 and terrorists, then economy would have been good.

Don't forget that Clinton sent U.S. troops overseas into battle also.

It's okay and I forgive you, I don't know about MRSA, that's interesting. I know that doctor won't prescribe when found others than bacteria (such as fungi or virus cannot be treated by antibiotic) but usually find other med than antibiotic.

If your doctor is taking care of you, I'm sure you'll be fine. The important things about MRSA are just keep yourself clean, don't share personal objects, and watch for any unusual spots on your body.

Here in Germany, we have no problem with every doctors for their respect and being treat equal. I never had an experience for have a long wait listing to get a surgery or whatever. We get it immediately to save our risk life if our case is really emergency. ![]() All what I know about waiting list is in UK and some part of Slovenia. |

About antibiotic... I would recommend you to take herbal tea and some vitamin C to reduce your bad cold, flu etc. I don't use any medical but drink herbal tea and hot lemon. It work pretty good within 3 days... If it's more than 3 days then check with doctor. |
