Amazing that for the 10+ years I have worked for a UK company I can't
remember one complaint about health care in the UK. When I explained
that US healthcare is not available to people unemployed they were
always shocked, mostly appalled. Their healthcare never goes away, no
matter their employment status.

I would think it is up to Mike to prove he was at an engineering
convention and state specifically what the foreign attendees didn't
like about their healthcare, since he made the original assertion. No
hip replacement stories, please.

Speaking of hip replacements, my old neighbor lady fell about three
weeks ago and broke her hip, it was "pinned". She is in rehab now and
when she gets out about any time now, she will come home and do it
again. The alternative is to go to a senior care place and try to get
along best she can or a nursing home which will take what she and her
late husband accumulated over the years in just a matter of months. Her
kids help her all they can but they have to work to maintain their
standard of living and can't be around all the time. She fell when they
were there. What do you do when a person gets in that condition? She
has been saying for the last three years she is ready to go anytime, she
is tired of living. Natures way of taking care of this would have been
pneumonia which would have taken her by now because she would have been
bed ridden, but the hospital made sure she got back up as soon as
possible and has done everything needed to keep her alive. It's just
not natural. She isn't going to get any better than she was before the
fall.

I guess they are the younger folks that have become accustomed to waiting in
line for their healthcare. ;)
