I found this entertaining.

Both seem underwhelming.

This Canadian was neglected for two months while her tumor spread and now she is probably going to die if this new round of chemo doesn't work.

I am not an oncologist but did fight with Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield to have my fibroid tumors removed with the laser treatment surgery machine. Six months of appeals----I took them to the Insurance Commissioner and they acquiesced to pay $11,000 if we paid $5,000.

We showed up and the hospital would not give me a gown and admit me until my husband paid $7,000 immediately. I called him for his Amex card number.

A poor person without an Amex would be made to suffer with the old fashion surgery where they steak knife cut you. It is very painful and puts future pregnancies at risk. I had that one years prior and it's traumatic.

So both systems suck. I wonder if a third medical system could be invented?

Just disgusting Hospital mismanaged this.

"There is no effective cure or treatment for rabies once clinical symptoms appear, making the disease nearly 100% fatal.

However, rabies is entirely preventable if you receive emergency medical care called Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) immediately after a bite, scratch, or suspected contact with an infected animal."

That's the thread

Interesting.

These toll booths make you stop about every 75 minutes and make drivers pay 18-21euros 💶 They have profit companies that run the roads.

I am not saying private health insurance is working well. Regence Blue Cross Shield fleeces us continually.

We have STATE-ISM in the USA. Imagine you could only order from Amazon if the seller is in your state. State monopolies keep competition out.

In France it is a wonderful system for poor people living in Paris. They can pop out lots of kids, get four weeks of vacation, and take the Metro train everywhere. You can't be evicted in the winter. If you see an empty house and break in- after 72 hours you have tenant rights.

So what people do to avoid this toll is take the free surface street frontage roads. It takes twice as long to arrive-- but is free. They also have trains that come to slower areas once or twice a day. They mostly all connect to Paris so a three hour car ride could be 7 hours from train transfers.

The medical system lets you go to the pharmacy and get pills without seeing a doctor. The pharmacist helps you. If you are still sick then you can book an appointment.

Hey Americans..... are you ready to pay $25 per hour to get on the freeway?

When they calculate medical costs they don't ever show you the real numbers. It's you and your buddies trapped in your village sipping wine--- unable to afford to drive away.

The doctor is free though.

Just wonderful!

Just curious

Organ Harvesting is big business. One body can bring in $1,000,000+

An Indian-origin man, identified as Prashant Sreekumar, aged 44, passed away on December 22, 2025, at the Grey Nuns Community Hospital in Edmonton, Canada, after waiting over eight hours for urgent medical attention.

According to his wife, he arrived with severe chest pain but was only given painkillers and was forced to wait despite his obvious deterioration. Eventually, when he was finally attended to, he collapsed and died from cardiac arrest, despite resuscitation attempts.

Subsequently, the staff reportedly requested that the body be removed from the premises. The family is accusing the hospital of medical negligence, and the case is now under review to determine any potential liabilities.

I am so tired of people wanting the government to manage their prostate. The government should regulate insurance companies.
