Юля.. Everything seems different in Texas...
Here, in NY, in any and every hospital they will provide ALL NECESSARY TREATMENT INCLUDING SURGERY to any person. Regardless of the type of insurance, Even in the case of no insurance. And than they (hospital) will bill the patient. Who can pay his bill as much as... 20 dollars per months... as long as it takes...
In case of no insurance, they will send you bills to the rest of yor life. No penalties. Just your credit history will be bad. But if people do not have money, they do not care about credit history too much. But that is worst case scenario, Usuallly they just write off that expences.
If you have private medicine in your country - you can at least sue the malpractice perpetrators. In the case of the fascistic omnipresent state, you cannot. When the devastated widow tried to just have some answers, some Soviet Julia told her to "shut up" - and she died in frustration the same day. In a good private clinic, nobody would have employed guys who narrow vessel channels instead of widening them.
Julia-at-charge of any socialist unit would do whatever it takes to justify her monstrous deity: socialist medicine, “economics”, education, etc. And that is why they oppressed dissidents - and they do in most pro communist students campuses here. Take Columbia Un for example.
MIsha, stop waisting time, she is not even a Democrat she is Communist. Let's close out this topic. Its a waist of time
Unlike you, Roma, I confronted her with my personal knowledge about her lovely communist "healthcare" when a leading rocket science engineer was left to die.
First. Hello everyone, new here....loving the group.
Second. Roman, I second your proposal.... (D) here to all the lovely ladies here.
Third. On the topic of insurance. Let's not forget, that when one buys insurance, they do not buy an all inclusive care that covers everything. It is an insurance policy that guaranties payment under goverened by the policy. Read carefully what is covered. Sometimes you are better of refusing what they offer at work and get yourself a different plan on your own.
Julia, if what you described happened here (NY NJ area), you would be able to sue the hospital. Not sure about TX.

Julia has her ageda, Dmitry. She beleives socialism is needed everywhere, not only in TX. She beleives that bureaucracy can be more efficient than free entrepreneurs
The one point I do have to agree with Julia though is that medical system is in fact screwed up here. But, the solution is not in moving towards the social medicine.
On the point of who to choose… I really hate the fact that we are forced to choose a lesser evil. But I will vote against Hillary and Obama. I read their programs, and I am convinced that it will not accomplish anything good.
I do not agree with McCain on some of the points, but so far, his program appears to create fewer problems.
