A Crisis It Ain't

clipped from pajamasmedia.com When I checked in to the hospital, I got a document that basically said “welcome!  we’re going to give you the best care possible, and if you are unhappy with it, here is how to complain so that we can make it better for you.  and by the way, in the event you can’t pay for it, not to worry.  you’re covered.  nobody gets rejected here, let alone thrown out, because of inability to pay.” You really can’t ask for better treatment.  What a great system!  What a country!  And those who can’t pay for it are covered…so where is the crisis? Not that there aren’t problems.  I made some suggestions to the doctors and nurses, in fact.  But a crisis it ain’t. If you want an example of something that should be razed to the ground and built from ground zero, take the Intelligence Community.  Please.  But leave us the basic elements of our health care system. Which is what most people seem to think.  And they’re right.
