mad max asked: I know they paid into the insurance through their taxes - but there are too many war babies. Perhaps limiting their care and just supply them pain killers is the answer.

noosa_stok_1978 asked:
I am an American girl who just got engaged to an Egyptian guy. I am planning to visit Egypt in the near future to meet his family. I might be staying there for 2 months maybe more. His family lives in Doqqi to be exact. I also suffer from Juvenile Diabetes. How is the medical care there? Is there easy access to insulin and my other medical supplies? Is the bottled water clean over there? Please let me know, so that I can plan accordingly.

kikibaby101 asked: Bascially, I am interested in opening an non-profit organization where people can bring strays or abandoned cats and dogs and then we would socialize the animals, supply any medical care and find families for the pets. I really just need a push in the right directions as how to get started.
Thanks

danksquish asked: Patients may be satisfied in America, but not everyone gets to be a patient. 47 million are uninsured and are rarely patients - until it’s too late. In the rest of the Western world, everyone and anyone can be a patient because everyone is covered. (And don’t face exclusions for pre-existing conditions, co-pays, deductibles, and costly monthly premiums).
And there are even more Americans who keep themselves out of the system because of cost - in the United States, 24 percent of the population did not get medical care due to cost. That number is 5 percent in Canada, and 3 percent in the UK.
The fact that the healthcare system in an impoverished nation crippled by our decades-old blockade (including medical supplies and drugs) ranks so closely to ours is ridiculous.
Although Cuba ranks lower overall than the United States, it still has a lower infant mortality rate and longer life span.
Cuba offers healthcare to absolutely everyone!

heeltap asked: Is medical & health coverage as a job benefit on the way out? Corporations like the US auto companies now claim they are not economically competitive if they are forced to provide health & medical care and treatment to their employees & their spouses or their retirees & their spouses under prior worker-employee benefit agreements or benefit understandings? They claim the costs of health and medical care of their wage employees is too big a cost component in the unit price of their products (, ie cars and trucks).
So where do we go now from here ?
Especially if you are a wage employee and not a member of the upper management elite which are provided health and medical care benefits till death and maybe beyond , no matter what happens to the business in the future? Didn’t Jack Welch the retired CEO include regular delivery of toilet paper supplies as a retirement benefit?
You can’t minimize or excuse the fact that upper managements give them- selves entitlements (your word) that they routinely deny the employees they manage. I make no apology for calling them an elite–a priviledged power elite on that basis. Personally I think the health care system situation doesn’t the elite because their needs have been taken care of irrespective of how high costs rise or what further restrictive conditions on treatment and care are imposed on the rest of us.
amendment: “…doesn’t personally affect the elite because…”
My Q is not about the unions or their faults. That is not the issue of my Q. It is a non-productive *red herring to bring it up.
* indicates a net searchable term
