They ask “is it free?” and I respond with “no, it’s at No Cost.” With all the Developed Nations, the U.S. ranks lowest in Universal Health Care , statistically equivalent to Third World Nations.
My argument is Socialized Medicine is GREAT. VA Health Care is the prime example.
Here’s a typical visit: schedule a Blood Draw for analysis, pickup a Blood Pressure Cup, visit Physical Therapy for a measure for Compression Socks, visit Dermatology for skin rash, visit the Eye Clinic for glasses, and be diagnosed by Kresge Eye Institute University of Michigan Ophthalmologist, stop into the Eye Shop for no cost eye glasses, schedule cat scan, x-ray, Flu Vaccine, Shingles Vaccine, prescriptions, and more… And, it’s at No Cost!
My wife, a Home Care RN, had a patient with wound care, insufficient with Medicare Advantage, suffering daily. She suggested VA Nursing Home where he received around-the-clock nursing care. Subsequently, his wife exclaimed the wonderment.
And, let's not forget the foundation of good health with an appointment with the Nutritionist, treating food as medicine. The Primary Care Physician writes the Order.
Senator Bernie Sanders proposal of Medicare For All would be similarly Great!
We need a national health plan! Medicare For All.
