  1. Svein Gerald Hansen I totally got your message the first time. I’m in Canada. Where, I’m so grateful to be able to take my elderly parents to the hospital as needed. They are checked in, and out, like it was a hotel, (actually easier, and faster). With no direct cost to me. As a self employed, it’s nice to not be bankrupted, by your parents. Imagine the stress, taking your old dad to the hospital. But our system is under the threat of, a strong business lobby. That wants us to be like the US. They can smell the huge profits. And currently, we have to pay our Dr’s crazy amounts, to discourage them from going south.

  3. What about, the many layers of middlemen. The back and forth with the insurance companies. I’m in Canada. My elderly parents, are on a revolving door basis, with their Dr’s, and the hospital. It is so simple, to check them in, and out, like a hotel. When in good enough shape to go home again, they go. Wether a few hours, or a week. Yes it’s us the taxpayer. But only having a single payer, for everything that is needed. Has to be cheaper, and Is far less stressful. The joke here. Is there is a strong business lobby, trying to privatize our system. Follow the money. Don’t be conned, by big business.
