This isn't a problem with socialized medicine. It's sad regaurdless of the state or the family payig for it.
Damn right. But I didn't say it had to get payed for. If I were to say reality were sacred it would mean nothing to you - you'd probably think that since you had a job when you were 14 and you took it hard when grampa died that you wrote the book on it. But you kids don't even treat reality like part of the equation. Let me spell it out.
Exotic treatments, those that relate to irregular and particularly desperate conditions and entail methods of unconfirmed or even unlikely effect, tend to be expensive and produce a spectrum of effects which may or may not be desirable. If people don't have a communal blank check when it comes to treatment they won't end up burdened with the possibility of the exotic stuff (as it may relate to religious ideas) or paying for someone else to get it.

Well, stay out of Britain, then, or if you go there, don't fall sick. And leave us to run our own health systems.
I wouldn't waste my managerial vision orchestrating the wiping of noses among you whiners, and I don't 'fall' sick because I'm made of American Midwestern stock little darlin'. If I need medical attention it's because something made me need it and there aren't many things that can do that.
As for your health care systems - you, as a group, can't decide where what covers your sweet ass ends and whatever is frivolous and fanatical begins except that you do it with such little decorum as to say 'pull the plug - let them pay for that' so don't knock the free market.
Oh, damn I'm good.
