>>I dont understand a society that on the one hand doesnt seem to give a damn about people yet then try to stop them from killing themself. A society that has massive medical establishment beurocracy that makes it difficult for people to get proper help in a timely manner when they need it yet when its life or death they suddenly move into action. All those episodes of ER are plain bunk!!! I feel sometimes like we are living in the dark ages.


I completely agree with you. In the U.S. we call ourselves a 'developed' country, yet we allow so much unecessary suffering. Those against subsidized medical care pound their chests and say that we have more 'choice,' arguing that we have -- for example -- more MRIs per population than Canada does. Yet so many of us can't get care unless a company with primarily financial interests 'approves' of the procedure. Ridiculous!

I've been experiencing that with my severe memory problems in the last 4 mos; it's what will insurance pay for first and then help me heal 2nd. I've thought that I wish I had something more clear -- like cancer or a heart condition; they care only if they can see you dying in the moment. Meanwhile, we let people die a slow death from untreated chronic illness every day.
