XPO | Trumps Trade War

Under government guidelines.

Allows health care professionals, who by their scope of practice and licensure can
exercise independent professional judgment, to override national practice guidelines if
consistent with the professional’s assessment of the individual, in the individual’s best
interest, and consistent with the individual’s wishes.
 
All govt run healthcare plans runs on a budget and when that budgeted item is fill for the years you will just have to wait till next years budget comes out to see if you will get it done.
The is one big thing you are all forgetting that comes with any govt run healthcare like Canada's and England's. The one big thing Warren and Sanders are forget getting to tell you. They all use a formula called QALY (Quality-adjusted Life Years) when planning and picking who gets what surgeries/care and who doesn't. Some like Ruth Bader Ginsburg at her age of 86 would have not received any advance care for her latest cancer. Though in part That Ruth G is classified as the one being in the elite class she would get anything she needs. Were as you or anyone else would not.
 
Ask the English or Canadians about their "free" healthcare
Then why do some many come into the US from Canada to get MRI, X-ray, and CT scan... Could it be that there is a 6 month wait... Have a freind that lived in Detriot and said lots of Canadains come to the US so they can get scans in a day or two..
 
That's a common argument made against our system and it is completely and utterly false and inaccurate information spread by fear mongerers opposed to anything different.

We do not have some clerk sitting at a desk deciding whether you get treatment based on a daily budget the second you walk into an ER or clinic.

We do not have "death boards" full of people deciding who lives and who dies today.

Every decision and every action taken with regards to your health is solely directed by your physician and he is not a government employee.
That's here right now. What they want to do is take that away from you and start using the QALY to says who get treatment.

Lots of americans go to Canada for various medical issues. It happens.

Yes budgets, any government, business, household runs on budgets, but that doesn't mean people die when the budget is reached.

Does XPO just shut down for the rest of the year if they run out of their fuel budget, or their payroll budget? No.

Do you tell your kids they can't eat for the rest of the year because you used up the food budget? No.
 
As I said, I'm not advocating for one or the other. I think they are all broken in one way or another. I think it would be nice to be able to have insurance to be able to pick and choose what healthcare and treatments I want when I want them but I also think healthcare should be a right afforded to anyone that needs it, not based on privilege or ability to pay.

Yes sometimes, but usually it's the people that have a sore shoulder or something that want an MRI right away that travel to pay for it because our system will put someone with cancer, heart problems, head injuries, etc ahead of those less critical health issues.

Why do so many americans flock to mexico for healthcare ? I guess the canadians pushed them south

So not long ago Upnorth said it sometimes takes up to 6 months to get an MRI , but if you paid for insurance you could go to a private clinic and “jump the line” , or go to the US and pay for it. If your healthcare is so good why do you need to go outside of the system to get healthcare?
 
Never ever heard anything like that before. I'd like a link to a story about it.
How about babies: in both cases they govt would not release the babies to seek treatment elsewhere. One was even offered free treatmented

This is the problem in today's world. Everyone expect to get what everyone else has. These liberal dems talk about "it's a RIGHT to have healthcare insurance" they talk rights then they want to take away rights. The day you give away you freedoms and choices to the govt is the day you become a slave to the govt.

Critical MRI's will never take that long, day or two at most. Non-critical MRI's may take longer because they are taking the critical cases first. If you have insurance or want to go outside the country you can get it faster. I had some issues a while back where they thought that possibly I was having seizures, although nothing anywhere showed any obvious signs that I was. I was in for an MRI in 3 days.

Do some reading, like my previous posts. I'm not saying our system is so good. They are both broken systems and maybe somewhere in between is a better solution.

I'm just clearing up some of the misconceptions that some have about our 'public' system so that some people stop running around with their hair on fire afraid of it.

How come that poor woman working a minimum wage job with two children shows up at a hospital and is turned away from there simply because she doesn't have any insurance?

I'm not saying it is a right to have health insurance. But it should be a right to have healthcare. Are you saying that homeless guy, or that single mom with two kids shouldn't be allowed to have healthcare because you are scared she might get the same treatment you get because you have insurance?

We can argue this till we are blue in the face. Both systems are broken, both in opposite directions.

By law a hospital in the US can not turn someone away because of an inability to pay.
There are those country that do check and see if you have health insurance and have that ability to pay. In some case they ask for it up front
