Admittedly in the large cities it can be very slow but even in the USA it's slow as hell in the cities. I took a gall bladder attack in Dallas and by the time I got admitted for treatment the attack was starting to go away,they were more concerned about my travel insurance than me puking bile in a paper towel from the pain.. that is shoddy service!
(I took the demerol anyway
)
BTW, the other attacks I had before surgery were in Calgary,Vancouver and Medicine Hat and all treated me fantastic. I'm not sure what it's like now with Obamacare but the US system was a joke before, people would loose their houses if they or loved ones got really sick, tax payers should never have to sell a house to treat a disease.
