How come people in Europe hate health care in America?

Question

If you ask me health care in America is the best. When rich Europeans get sick they come to America. Alot of Candians come to America so they dont have to wait 6 months.I pay for my own medicine and health and I dont have to wait for government rationing like the socalists in Europe and Canada. Why should the government take my money and give it to someone else when I need it? American Health care can improve and its not perfect but I think its better than all the other in the world. I have studies this subject and America has come up with most medicines and surgeries people now enjoy. If you let the government come up with things they ruin it. I am for capitalism and I think thats the best way to run health care competition makes new things and everyone wins. Who agrees?

Answer 1

I'd prefer to pay for my health insurance and see our Dr's. I wouldnt want to wait for months like other countries. If you do lose a job with your health insurance that's what Medicaid is for until you find another job that offers insurance.

Answer 2

I think your missing the point. I dont think people in Europe hate American health care. Its just very expensive. I think its the fact that here in the UK, we get free health care on the NHS. So if we break our arm or have to see the doctor for a sore throat, its completely free, unlike in other countries in europe, America and the rest of the world you have to fork out alot of money just to see the doctor. I think we're really really lucky in the UK, everyone seems to moan about the government, but they wouldnt be moaning so much if they lived in the US and had to pay just to visit the doctor.

Answer 3

they don't hate it they just think its to pricey because they get free health care but to get that you would just have to take another step toward socialism an government control over the free market and that's what makes us capitalist

Answer 4

all i have to say is i bet you would change your tune real fast if you found yourself one day without medical insurance and very very ill !!

the the guy down at the bottom i would like to ask you you say when you lose health insurance that is what medicaid is for right?...well i used to live in the states for a few years this was many yrs ago and found myself in a position where we lost health coverage...(husband was diabetic and insulin dependant for his LIFE)..but according to medicaid we made too much money to qualify for it..at the time combined i think we made under 15,000 yrly which is considered POVERTY level...so i dont understand your answer your country sucks sorry oh and btw ive never waited months to see a doctor....when my mother in law had to go into emergency she still had to wait 7 hrs to get in after being triaged....wait times are the same wether you pay for the doctor or not!!!

Answer 5

I live in Australia and I don't have to pay a thing to see a doctor or a specialist. recently I had a work related injury and everything is covered. I'm also a traveller and everybody will say not to go to USA without a very good travel insurance, Personally an American doctor would have to be my last choise. Sorry to upset you but you need to get a life. Why not travel the world and then voice your opinions. I would be happy to travel the rest of the world that I have not seen bar the USA. For what reason?  I'm quite simply interested in them. They think they are the best but they are not.I simply hate narrow minded people.  

Answer 6

Why should we answer your question when you are so rude? You only want your own opinion to be right - no matter what other people think.  Why do you waste everyone's time here.  I agree get a life!
