Sounds like things are worse in the U.S. than they are here. Nobody should have to go without the medical treatment they need, whether they have the money to pay or not. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed your visit here.Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524989873664135095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692666.post-42900704173474431132008-07-19T23:08:00.000+01:002008-07-19T23:08:00.000+01:00Thanks for your contribution to "Take Care of Your...Thanks for your contribution to "Take Care of Your Health Care Carnival." Things are even worse here in the United States where there is no National Health Care system. If you don't have insurance, as many don't, you just go without or visit an emergency room. I agree, good healthcare should be a right for everyone.Helenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14471510158250540602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692666.post-37862537387077349632008-06-19T20:53:00.000+01:002008-06-19T20:53:00.000+01:00Hi AnonymousPrivate medical treatment is great if ...Hi Anonymous<BR/><BR/>Private medical treatment is great if you can afford to pay for it. Unfortunately the cost of private healthcare policies has gone through the roof here and very few can afford it unless they get it as a benefit through work as I do. You may not agree with me. However I believe that everyone whether they can afford private care or not is entitled to a decent standard of healthcare. That's why we in England pay our taxes and NI contributions. Free healthcare may seem "inferior" compared to private but sadly it's what the majority of people have to settle for as they can't afford the soaring costs of private healthcare. A good standard of healthcare is each individual's right whether they have insurance or not. The people of Britain deserve nothing less.Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524989873664135095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692666.post-63875026107796588192008-06-16T18:23:00.000+01:002008-06-16T18:23:00.000+01:00And yet here in the U.S, the idiot liberals are pu...And yet here in the U.S, the idiot liberals are pushing for socialized medicine. <BR/><BR/>I get the finest medical and dental treatment that's available. I have private insurance that covers most of this. And for things that aren't covered by insurance, such as cosmetic dentistry, I'm glad to pay myself and not be a burdern on my fellow citizens. I would rather pay myself and get immediate superior treatment, than wait 2 years for inferior care, even though it's "free.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692666.post-79931550085949075592008-06-08T15:03:00.000+01:002008-06-08T15:03:00.000+01:00I hate going to the dentist myself Svet & Kyle but...I hate going to the dentist myself Svet & Kyle but I always make sure I go for the sake of my teeth!Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524989873664135095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692666.post-31793932086069672092008-06-07T23:41:00.000+01:002008-06-07T23:41:00.000+01:00I always learn a lot from your post, Naomi!Could n...I always learn a lot from your post, Naomi!<BR/><BR/>Could not imagine that: some Britains admit not bothering to clean their teeth every day... Of course, some Russians don't clean teeth everyday either - but they would never admit it, I think!<BR/><BR/>I know some Russians don't want to go to dentist - afraid of pain maybe - and they tries to use folk medicine and finally loose teeth - that's sad. But like I always tell: everybody chooses for himself.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes,<BR/>Svet andKyleKyle and Svet Keetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06359738771026616680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692666.post-21278352739350554062008-05-26T20:40:00.000+01:002008-05-26T20:40:00.000+01:00You too David.
