And here in the U.S., I'm on triple bonus time - alcoholism, heart attack, and cancer. I got excellent care, and shitty administrative support. They got the important parts right. And I work for a company with good benefits.

Yes, for those who can afford it or have good insurance, we have a great system. Let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater. This is why Obama is open to ideas. He does not want the government to take over, he wants everyone to be covered.

Had I not been under good coverage, I might not have gotten sober, received the post-heart attack care I did to prevent additional problems, and my cancer would not have been discovered until I need treatments several times the cost. Good coverage was cheaper, long run, than none or shitty coverage.
