Re: And in a year they'll be wishing they hadn't As a Canadian living in Los Angeles, I sure wish that health care here was socialized.
The fact that there's a 2 tiered system screws the middle class.
Those that either don't have any money, or are here illegally (big problem here in Los Angeles county) use County hospitals, which I'm heavily taxed for, yet not allowed to use. County hospitals give free shuttles, car seats, free parking, free medication, etc.
Then there's the private system which will take money for everything and everyone, and kick you to the curb the second that they think you may actually cost them anything. Private hospitals milk the medical/medicare for the 'easy' money, then kick everyone out the door over to county for anything they don't want to deal with. It should be criminal. |
