Why isn't Mick Jagger having his heart surgery in the U.K. with the National Health Service?

[Aletheia4u]

Mick...from the Rolling Stones is having heart surgery.....in New York.....why? Why doesn't he fly back to the U.K....to get on the waiting list, to get on the next list, to schedule the Heart surgery through the British National Health Service.....? Oh yeah....he is in his 70s, so likely he wouldn't qualify for that surgery under the British National Health Service guidelines......right?

Mick Jagger Preparing for Heart Valve Surgery

He will not be able to find a heart valve that is big enough for his heart in his homeland. The U.K doesn't have late term abortion, unless it is severely endangering the mother's life. But New York has late term and beyond. Letting the mother to make the decision instead of a doctor So he can easily get a heart valve from one of the late term abortion babies in New York. At least, Mick Jagger is Pro-Life. His own life.

Every pronouncement by the Left/Democrats, we’d find that every part of their agenda is based on one simple concept: they lie.

Every one of ‘em.

Every single time.

They lie about everything.

Well when you elect a POS POTUS that lies almost every day, then I guess it starts becoming ingrained.

Jagger apparently has duel citizenship, so it doesn’t really matter that he’s getting the surgery in New York.

When did Jagger become a US citizen? Why would they even let him? With all due respects, he really doesn't meet American moral standards with his history of drug busts and heroin addiction. America has a opioid problem already, why admit foreign junkies as citizens?

I'm sure the hospital in New York is pleased to accept Mr. Jagger as a paying patient. He probably has medical insurance- a lot of British subjects carry it to avoid the NHS Hell Hole type hospitals.

seems steven hawking said he was happy with the healthcare he got...

& although no system is perfect, the brits wouldn't switch their system for ours.

Sick Around the World (United Kingdom)

Hawking had the best care that money could buy because he was a celebrated scientist. Care to guess what the average wait time is for UK ambulance service?

Here's a hint...it ain't good..

Patient waited 62 hours for ambulance
A patient waited 62 hours for an ambulance, while four trusts took more than 24 hours to respond to 999 calls, new figures have shown.

The longest delays in the UK were recorded by Welsh Ambulance Service, which kept four patients waiting for more than 50 hours.

A spokesman said the figures were "not typical" and "represent the extreme end of the waiting time spectrum".

The Patients Association said they were "extremely concerning".


Patient waited 62 hours for ambulance

Is that the average? It does not claim that.

 

[playtime]

You mean there are no waiting lists in the US?

If you're on Medicare, or Medicaid, yes, there are waits, and they can be quite long depending on where you live. If you have private insurance, the wait time is only for testing. When I had my heart surgery the problem was figured out, then there was a day of tests, and the next day I was in surgery. Total time elapsed from ER to surgery was under 35 hours.

haaaaaaaaaaaa..... i have 'cadillac' insurance & had a four month wait for a dermatologist, while some people i know on expanded medicaid get in to see doctors no problem - within a couple weeks... including specialists.

 

[Stormy Daniels]

Ever consider the possibility that is where the best doctor is for his surgery? There are lots of Americans who travel to foreign countries for health care.

Trump cock suckers like the OP don't do nuance.

Nuance means paying attention to the little things. So, yeah they do.

No. Nuance means paying attention to details irregardless of size.

I don't think you caught the nuance of my post.

Obviously it matters to him, you dunce.

You probably imagine that he tossed a coin, huh?

no, not an average, but 999 cases is pretty significant, and no one is punished for causing undue agony. That's the point. There is NO redress for your pain and suffering. Face it Coyote, every day we hear of government bureaucrats screwing over somebody, and nothing happens to them. They are able to continue hurting people with impunity.

Why do you want to inflict that harm on people who are already suffering?

I simply don't get it.

Which is a laughable assertion. That's the problem with you people, your hyperbole is so stupid no one will ever believe you because even with average intelligence they can detect your BS.

Why isn't Mick Jagger having his heart surgery in the U.K. with the National Health Service?

My answer to the question is simply because he can afford it. I wonder how many of us, not having Jagger's wealth, would have access to the care he'll receive in this country? Socialized medicine needn't restrict people from the best care they can pay for, only set a basic threshold of care accessible to our citizens.

 

[Rustic]

Lol
Millions of conservative Americans want nothing to do with any type of socialized medicine/healthcare… Why can’t progressives get that through their head?

Conservatives cannot benefit from any type of socialism… That’s just a fact

1. Everybody.

Know anyone who died after being refuse heart surgery?




2. Think Mick Jagger is the only one?

“Medical tourism on the rise as Brits seek surgery abroad” Medical tourism on the rise as Brits seek surgery abroad - AOL



3. “President Obama's nominee for director of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the office that oversees government health care programs, is Dr. Donald Berwick, an outspoken admirer of the British National Health Service and its rationing arm, the National Institute for Clinical Effectiveness (NICE).

"I am romantic about the National Health Service (NHS). I love it," Berwick said during a 2008 speech to British physicians, going on to call it "generous, hopeful, confident, joyous, and just." He compared the wonders of British health care to a U.S. system that he described as trapped in "the darkness of private enterprise."

….British health care system where 750,000 patients are awaiting admission to NHS hospitals.

…more than half of British patients wait more than 18 weeks for care.

Every year, 50,000 surgeries are canceled because patients become too sick on the waiting list to proceed. “
‘Death panels’ were an overblown claim – until now





The US healthcare is the very best in the world…and the Democrats plan on bringing it down to the UK level that Mick Jagger was smart enough to flee from.

Know why? Because they lie about everything.
Everything.....as long as they get control in the end.

But you are wrong...socialized medicine makes basic healthcare worse.....whichm means the basic threshold is far lower than it would be under private healthcare, which means the poor get worse care than they would under private healthcare and free markets. It always amazes me that left wing socialists use their I-phones, t.v.s, cars, and any other number of products that are now cheaper, faster, better due to competition and the market.....and can't see the same thing happens to medical care when the market is involved. The one area where healthcare is getting cheaper and better in this country? Cosmetic surgery, and Lasic surgery for eyes......why? Because insurance covers less and less of those optional surgeries...so the price has to come down, the people who do it have to compete, so they have to get better at it.....

That's a very good question. Don't know of anybody. Makes me wonder how many free surgeries were provided by the hospital where Mick Jagger had his surgery done.

I'd like you to wonder, as well, why Democrats slander the best healthcare in the world, right here in America.
