Well now my groove is scorched by the insinuation that such up-fucks ar due to universal healthcare. Since i moved to the US I have been mind-boggled by the amount of red-tape and money wasteage and -most irritatingly cliqueism/monopoly shit that goes on in the private health insurance world here. Sure, there's no waiting list for your life-saving surgery, but the surgeons will only take referrals from specialists within their "network" and the insurance companies will only approve surgeons and specialists within their network, and you can't go strqaight to the specialist, you need to be referred by your regular doctor, who would rather observe you for a while and have you come back for regular visits..... and when they finally refer you to the specialist who refers you to the sugeon, there's no waiting list per se, but they only operate when there's an X in the day. And then you have to pay a co-pay for the surgeon and another for the anaesthetist, and the bed, and the nurse, and the drugs, and the OR and the dressings, and the TP and......

You know why people in private healthcare are so nice and want to deal with you even though you're being an asshole? They're being paid a shitload more than they need to be. By you. Americans need to learn that sucking up X= great service. I won't hold my breath.

/oops political/xenophobic ranting shit
