The healthcare system is overrun with ppl crossing the border bringing sickness and diseases and won’t get better till they close it.

system isn't broken at all. I know multiple people who got cancer diagnoses and were seen immediately. Her experience is the exception, not the rule.The healthcare system in the US is leaps and bounds better than socialist countries, just ask someone in England or Canada. Mind you, I know people born and raised in both places, and they say how frustrating socialized medicine is and how long it takes to get referrals and see specialist. We're talking years in some cases, unless you go private and pay out of pocket, which defeats the whole purpose of paying a sh*t ton of taxes into the system.

Jessica - I live in Arizona & we have an MD Anderson satellite clinic here. It is a ten minute drive from my home. I have guest rooms you would be welcome to stay in should you want a second opinion.🏨

no cancer patient should have to do this.

Same here good old highway 52. This would not happen at Mayo or any hospital in our area.

@@danielbobberson9849 I know that stretch of road like the back of my hand!

Look into dr Holmes work. He’s in Glendale ca. he is a breast surgeon but he also specializes in cryoablation. He’s a pioneer in the industry and an amazing doctor.

The “free” healthcare that other countries get is anything but free. You pay for it with taxes and if you think 2 months is a long time to wait to see a doctor then how about over 8 months to get an MRI? How about waiting over 4hrs for an ambulance after you call them? Healthcare throughout the world is broken, it’s not just the U.S. It’s all about the money these days and it’s really a disgrace.

@@Fishflorida59 Americans have healthcare - many have good healthcare. About 90% of us have it through our employer. Of the 10% that don’t, half are young people who do not even want to get it through their employer - they would rather use money on fun things & take their chances. The 5% that simply cannot afford even an Obama policy - have other issues.

@@Fishflorida59 They pay for it in taxes, but it's still MUCH less individually than what our individual financial burden is for healthcare in the US. There's no competition. The reason wait times are much lower in the US is because so many Americans simply don't receive healthcare because they can't afford it. Less people receiving care = lower wait times. Waiting 8 months for an MRI compared to not getting an MRI at all - those are the two extremes we're talking about here, and I know which extreme I prefer. Americans don't want to call ambulances because they're going to get a $500 bill in the mail...and God forbid you have to be air-lifted by helicopter. That's tens of THOUSANDS. So, yes, our ambulances come quickly, because a lot of us are afraid to call them and end up in debt. I work in healthcare, and during the start of the pandemic, I witnessed countless Covid patients arriving in Ubers to our ER (endangering those drivers' lives and increasing the spread of the virus) because they couldn't afford the ambulance bill that would come later if they called. Not exactly something to be proud of. Granted, the problems that exist in these countries with universal healthcare ARE major problems, but the average person in those countries has better access to healthcare than the average person in the US, and that's accounting for wait times. Our healthcare is of a higher quality, and we produce the majority of advancements in medicine, but how much good does it do for Americans when we can just barely access these things?

No one likes to acknowledge the crappy care they get for "free." I was so glad to come back to the USA and not be subject to the NHS anymore. Being a patient sucks everywhere, but a tiny bit less in the US@@Fishflorida59
