i could never understand how or why americans just acquiesced while greed infested & destroyed their way of life.
probably the trickle-down affect. no doubt many are still waiting for it.

And we have people losing most or all of everything they own because a family member gets sick. We are not a great country, and never have been.

Yeah and here costs a fortune

I ended up in the hospital in Hungary for 5 days. Since I am not an EU member my insurance had to pay $834 for 5 days 17 bags of fluid, 2 EKGs and three sonograms. I felt the care was appropriate though not like luxurious. I shared a room with three to four other people and I had to provide mine own drinking water towel eating utensils and toilet paper. The only real discomfort I had was the first night when I didn't know I was supposed to bring my own toilet paper but the kindness of strangers saved the day. Hospital should be forgetting well not for a vacation. I am sad that America puts profit before people in this area and many others.

And in the UK £0.00 that's $0.00!
Healthcare free at the point of need cradle to the grave paid for by central taxation. C'mon America, try it!

and here the cigars wall streeters puff on golfing are $40.

Those doctors must be making a fortune!
