US Healthcare CEO Murdered - Please read mod note at OP

The rest of the developed world have a more empathetic system than the Americans. Lord knows our health service has problems but nobody has to choose between death or bankruptcy here if they get ill. Even having insurance may not be enough as they might find some arbitrary reason to not cover you.

It’s a horrific, barbaric system built to provide no service to some paying customers. I would say many Americans would jump at the chance to have something like us, warts and all.

It seems a lack of opticians in Ireland is causing issues also.😉

You don't buy what.?

Just search on here or Google to find many examples of people complaining about appointments a year or more later.

You are the one that claims it's not true

18 months

Latest stats say average wait is 7 months.to see a consultant in Ireland That is down from 9 months previously.

Sure you could be dead by then.

Mod: Do not use another poster's post from another forum to prove your point, especially one with medical information.

In this instance we and most countries where needing an ambulance won't bankrupt a person are better systems.

We and nearly every other nation with an unfragmented healthcare system also benefits from collective bargaining for drugs and equipment.

Well hopefully Americans read boards and change their ways.

you reap what you sow...

LOL

If I say "I'm delighted the bastard's dead and I've started a petition to have a bank holiday in honour of the hero who rid us of this scum", you couldn't actually link to where I'd said I condone this murder "in so many words".

Therefore by your "logic" I would not have condoned the murder. You're a scream. 🤣

But even by that ridiculously tight measure, posts 251 and 252, which agreed with 251, are pretty damn close.

251

Have zero issues celebrating this man's death, in the same way I would celebrate the death of dictator. He was an agent of oppression, and the world would be better if more of his ilk met a similar fate.

252

Agreed and it's gaining traction, Elon Mush is using one of his many many children as a human shield!

There was a time when the US had the best healthcare in the world, even if not everyone had access to it. As poorer countries caught up in the 20th century they had to make it a national effort just to afford improvement with the result that most EU countries ended that century with a centralised base line healthcare, and now Asian countries take that national model and streamline it further.

I've no doubt that advancements in Asia will filter to us here, but the pandemic showed us that a country like the US wastes an awful lot of collective effort and synergy when different healthcare groups interpret how to respond in their own manner.

Im guessing HSE execs and lawyers are fair game for a bullet now, due to constant stories like these..

How much does the HSE spend on legal fees to protect itself?

About €140 million a years

Over €2 billion spent on claims over the past 5 years.

Given that the leadership of the HSE are what some would describe as 'scum' and 'parasites' do they deserve a bullet?

It seems like he's been caught. Hanging out in a McDonalds in Pennsylvania on his laptop. Someone recognised him and called the police. Found a gun and 4 fake IDs on him

The people shilling this guy as a saint and one of our betters 

This is now the 2nd time you used that phrase.
Can you find us a quote from anyone who lauds this man as a saint?

Just one will do….

Otherwise, stop lying to cover your own moral issues.
