My Father in law died waiting for a liver transplant in OK...right about the time time Mickey was diagnosed and magically bumped to the top of the liver list in OK. Who's to say what might have happened...but Mickey got somebody's liver instead of them.

I lived in England and used NHS. My American girlfriend got very ill and the doctor actually made a house call to treat her. He diagnosed her and gave her a shot and she got well. I was really glad, because we had a deal she couldn't fulfill: I would play with her 18 month old son all day and feed him occasionally, but she handled dirty diapers. I loved the kid, but man....Well, let's just say I'm glad she recovered quickly. <G>

"The Greatest Health Care System In The World" ranks 33rd on infant mortality en.wikipedia.org We rank 37th in longevity. Right wingers, including super hack John Stossel, will tell you those stats have nothing to do with health care. How soon you die is your own stupid problem. <G> Stossel is even moronic enough to say that we murder more people here, so we can't be compared to civilized countries. I'm sure glad "Dr. D" David Schultz whomped Stossel up beside the head. It was fun to see those smart assed cameramen and producers run from the room leaving Stossel on the floor.
