bush_cheney2004 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 ...When I was a child, pediatrician visits used to cost my parents about $15, which in today's money, generously, would be $90. What doctor visit costs anything like that little in the States? If fees were set in bargaining between willing consumers and willing provides, I predict that fees would drop to that level.... Yes...I don't remember how or when it changed to what we have today. Maybe it's the expensive fish tanks in the waiting lobby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the tanks are real classy and a wonder to the eye - I have no problem with that healing power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 It's too bad poor Americans don't have someplace to go. Almost a million Californians go to Mexico every year for medical services that they can't afford in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonam Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 It seems to me there is a lot of room in the American system for some private company to set up some kind of "low cost" healthcare clinics. Find a couple doctors/nurses that have liberal/socialist views and are willing to work for relatively cheap to "help the poor". There are always a few and you may as well put them to use. Forget the expensive equipment, and charge reasonable drop-in healthcare fees. Wouldn't deal with serious chronic conditions, cancers, etc, but would be great for uninsured people that have short-term medical problems. Actually now that I think of it there must already be something along these lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radsickle Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Shona Holmes should move to Mexico if she's so upset by her country's health care. twit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 This Shona Gal is being branded a Traitor by the same people who will not apply traitor to those Islamic Canadians who fight against our troops in Afganistan. I found the interview on the Coran show very interesting. Shona ,I thought was very fair and was looking for compromise in health care between American and Canadian systems.

Holy Twitism, Batman! Omar Khadr wasn't fighting against "our" troops. Twit. The Traitors are the ones who would lick an American's boots while torturing their own countrymen.

The Traitors are the ones who would lick an American's boots while torturing their own countrymen. You mean the Khadr family was not fighting allied forces? Before they opened fire they checked the shoulder flashes first to determine what allied troops they were fighting? You can call me a twit but it does not change the facts. We are at war and this Canadian family decided to fight us by attacking our allies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironstone Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Saving almost everybody for free, without them having to mortgage their homes, is better. Regardless of what the selfish think. FOR FREE?! You think our health care system is free?Surely you are aware my comrade,that our health care system costs an awful lot of money,paid for from our tax dollars.

Correct...it is the highest cost single payer, universal access system in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
