Re: US healthcare system
It is a strange thing for such a developed country...but I feel that countries that have "free" healthcare are also way behind in quality of care...for example, I heard that getting appointments for specialized tests, pre- and post-operative care, follow-ups, etc. are disorganized and not timely. So in the end, the patient suffers. In the US, yes, there is a great deal of red tape, loopholes and all that at different levels, but you and me can get our needs met quite easily. There are affordable options for people without health insurance as well.
