But I do feel our current system in the US needs major reform.
Huge assumption.
If I was concerned with my eye. This would be the procedure here.
Go to General Practitioner. Free and immediate.
If he's concerned he refers you to a specialist, cost maybe $150-$180 and you get seen immediately. Take bill to Medicare they give you back about 70% in cash same day.
No money, get a referral to a free specialist. If its serious you'll be seen straight away in the ER. If it's not considered urgent you probably need to wait a month or more.
I honestly think you can cut your health bill in half, and have an excellent healthcare system.
If you're a baller like Druff, take out the optional top notch insurance, some options cost an arm and a leg but you'll get a nice red wine or Whisky with your dinner, Sir.
Our healthcare system makes yours look retarded.
Sweden, Norway, Great Britain arguably have much better then ours.
