I'm a health professional. I trained in the UK, worked for the National Health Service and now work in public health care in Australia.

Private health care for all leaves behind the people who need it most. After ten years as a nurse I have met, possibly 3 patients who have a non-welfare income and standard of living. The more disabled the person, the lower the standard of living and income.

I am shocked that health care cost so much in the USA. Honestly, I don't know why you're not out in the streets, rioting. Why hasn't this caused a revolution?

This is not a p*ss-taking or sarcastic post. I genuinely want to know why this sh*t is tolerated.
