Flim-flam

Aloha: Something has been bothering me for a while now. I have tried to write about it before but ended up just erasing what I wrote, then writing nothing. The United States of America has the absolute best, barring none, health care system in the world! People of means and leaders of many nations come to the USA to get medical treatment that is not available in their own country. Every single person living in the USA has health care. The con men in congress and in the oval office have done a great job of convincing the people that "health care" and "health insurance" are the same thing. They are NOT!!!! You may have to wait up at the ER to get your cold taken care of but you will get it taken care of. Even if you have a regular doctor and two insurance carriers if you get sick on a weekend or a holiday you will have to go to the ER. We all have health care. Could this country have better health care? Of course. But not with insurance but with making more care available through things like more clinics. Here is the rub. No matter what is done there is a shortage of doctors and nurses and follow up health care is now, and will be, into the 23 century, rationed. Believe it or not the fact is that medical care is rationed in Canada, Britain and the rest of the world, including the good old USA.

Hell, my blood pressure is going through the roof. God bless.
