In reply to the discussion: Goldman Sachs issues report: Curing diseases is a bad business-model. [View all]Duppers
(28,120 posts)20. Thank you SO much for posting this.
Yet another great example of just how f'd up this country's attitude toward health care is.
We lived in England in the late 80s to the mid 90s, long enough to greatly appreciate "socialized medicine" and to counter every dumbassed rightwing we've encountered in a discussion of the subject. My then 2yo son became very ill and had to be hospitalized in Addenbrooke there in Cambridge. I was awestruck by the compassion, knowledge, and attention of the physicians and entire staff. The only thing coming close in this country that we've experienced was when my hub's cancer was treated at the renowned Johns Hopkins, but with a price tag, of course.
