I'm Australian and have never been able to understand America's willingness to walk away from national health care at every opportunity. A few years ago I had a mountain bike accident and badly busted up my shoulder. Paramedics picked me up from the trail and took me to the hospital. It took two surgeries, a steel plate and a dozen screws to stick me back together. The cost? Nothing. And two years ago I started to get headaches and lose mobility in one leg. The doctor wrote up a referral and sent me immediately to the hospital. They admitted me, did a scan, found I had a subdural haematoma that needed immediate surgery and wheeled me into an operating theater. They cut a hole in my skull and cleaned out my head. The cost for emergency brain surgery? Nothing. America it like a third world country when it comes to caring about its citizens.
