re: #470 Chekote

As someone who watched her mother die in a state hospital in Europe, let me tell you. Be careful what you wish for. The point is that no one is denied care in this country. They treat you when you show up at the emergency room. And I am sick and tired of this fallacious no insurance = no treatment. You want to see no treatment? Move to Europe. My cat got better care here in the US than my mother in Italy.

Yes. They treat you when you show up at the emergency room. But the emergency room doesn’t do preventive care, or treat chronic conditions real well, and we all pay through the nose for that little option.
