Reply #9: I'm sorry about your dad, ejpoeta - you know, after living in Europe for year....

[Sarah Ibarruri]

... I found out that European universal medical care (which is automatic, and one doesn't have to pay private insurances for it), is FAR better than what we have here. I visited the ER several times there with someone and each time they were admitted immediately. Each time they were treated properly. In the same local neighborhood hospital.

Here, almost all health care is a disaster. Even when paid out of pocket. I don't know why.

There are so many lies told about socialized health care. Even right wingers that know better lie about it. It's as if they need to defend right wing lies no matter what. Right wingers take from us any possibility of having good health care.

Oh and I wish your dad health and that he receive healing.
