A 55-year-old man comes to the National Health Service in Great Britain with chronic kidney failure. If he cannot afford private care, he is told to go home and put his affairs in order.

I am not sure people plumping for universal or socialized health care understand that services under such a system by necessity or rationed in such a manner. Under such a system, $300,000+ medical care for premature and at-risk babies is likewise out of the question. The choices are made by the numbers.

Please, read these posts you asked others to participate in, and at least have the common courtesy and decency, to remove posts from illiterate and obnoxious people that have NOTHING OF VALUE to contribute, such as:
"Lost Yankee".
Thank you for your time.

I live in suburbs of Chicago and went to the ER this past Friday, I have never had to go to the ER for anything, I was up for a rude awakening, I am an unemployed, educated, US citizen and had to use the public hospital "Cook County" an hour away from me, I went at 9pm thinking it would be a 2 hour wait, I hadn't eaten anything, I was not seen until 4:15 am in the morning, I met a lady who had been there since 4pm Friday afternoon and a gentlemen who had been there since 11am Friday morning they both were waited on around 3am right before me, the disturbing thing was that the area is considered to be mostly African American however, the majority of the people there were Hispanics. Hope I never have to go there again the wait was to long.

ARE YOU TOTALLY INSANE OR WHAT?
I have set for 12 hours, and watched a man nearly bleed to death and there was NOT a DR., or a nurse to be seen!
Heart attck victims brought in by ambulance, set in hallways.....for hours on end.
THIS THREAD WAS A JOKE RIGHT?
OR, DID YOU DO THIS INTENTIONALLY, BECAUSE YOU ENJOY TO READ ABOUT ALL THE PAIN AND SUFFERING AND A MEDICAL SYSTEM THAT IS TOO BUSY SCREWING, WACH OTHER IN THE LOUNGE ROOMS, TO GIVE A DAMN?
Give us a break, and go write something that WON'T piss people off!

I'm not certain what planet Ms. Weaver did her research on but the average wait time in Greater Boston Hospital ER is about 7-8 hours.
