No "problem". Just info like the thread title says.

There are people here who have accused me of pulling numbers out of my a$$. I'm just clearing up that it's not fiction IF you're interested.

I thought that the bolded part was pointing toward a problem that you had with this issue.

I think everyone should have a problem when a basic necessity like healthcare starts to shift towards a system that only a small percentage of people can afford.

You can make that argument for any healthcare system throughout the world.

Of course you can - and you always will. It's the TREND here in the US that is the problem, because the safety net for the people at the bottom isn't there like it is for those other countries.

The wealthy have always had access to better healthcare in this country. It is not right, but this is nothing new.

I think that access to BETTER health care is a much different story than no health care at all, although I still don't think that's right either. We're supposed to be the most affluent, powerful nation in the world and we can't provide health care for everyone?

I agree that not having healthcare is just not right.

However, the link that you provided showed that people were paying extra for an extended examination. It did not say that those unwilling to pay the extra would be denied healthcare, just that their exams would be limited.
