As for the UK, a friends mom had a heart attack, they waited for an ambulance, gave up and took her to the hospital. The ambulance finally arrived 7 hours later and they were charged for it because no one was there. The woman then spent a week on a roller bed in a hallway at the hospital. I had the same issue. I have insurance. No charge for the ambulance and I shared a nice double room. I would rather pay for insurance and be treated well then get it for free and be treated like crap.
I agree with Joshua completely. I know people in other countries who go on about our lack of free public health care. Those countries, like Joshua said, have less people than just one of our cities. Can you imagine how much it would cost to give "free" health care to over 300 BILLION people??? Our taxes would exceed our incomes!!!
I love her when she says..."rrrrrrr"
