If our system is socialist why are we the worst at providing health care than any other developed nation?
Why do Canadians and citizens of a lot of other countries come here for treatment if their system is so much better than ours?
the numbers aren't that great. do some"? probably if they have unlimited financial resources.
and that is the point. there is a difference between the ability of our medical personnel and our ability to DELIVER health care to people who need it.
one shouldn't have to be a millionaire to be treated for a chronic illness.
Like this millionaire?
"A federal appeals court in Boston today upheld a judge’s ruling that a transsexual inmate convicted of murder is entitled to a taxpayer-funded sex change operation as treatment for her severe gender identity disorder."
thanks for the deflection. it simply has nothing to do with what we were discussing. surely you can do better than that.

I merely pointing out one of thousands of examples of people who are not millionaires that get FREE treatment. Seemed germane to me.
People without insurance don't get free treatment. They might be treated, but they get billed for it.
