    We Americans are sick of our healthcare system. It doesn’t matter if you’re on the right or the left we’re all sick of it. The CEOs have the blood of millions on their hands denying people claims .I watch my own family member go bankrupt and get denied cancer medications.

      I'm Swiss and it is crazy to me that an insurance can decline something like cancer medications. Makes me wonder why any American even pays for health insurance if they don't cover you when you need them.
      I'm so sorry to hear that a family member of yours has cancer and had to go bankrupt over this! I hope your system can be fixed asap!

    Like a third world country. Except, that even there there is a likely universal health care system. Our doctors’ offices and disappearing , our local newspapers are disappearing, our local groceries too. The common denominator, monopoly capitalism and greed.

    I'm age 74. i have lived in cities, in poor rural America (where we had to drive more than an hour to get seen) and a small upper end community. Everywhere there are PCP shortages and the wait to see a specialists is 3 to 6 months. I have found that the only way to get decent health care is to go to a Functional Medicine Physician AND PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. This the only way to have high quality care and any control of it To think that the county, state or government is going to rescue this clinic or these people is, unfortunately a dream.
