Mrs Harris: OH, Thank God you caught it in time, my mom and her mom
and even my sister died from breast cancer. When can we schedule
surgery?
Nurse: Well………..Obamacare only allows surgery for invasive lesions
and DCIS is not yet invasive so……….
Mrs. Harris: What? I have to wait until a mammogram shows it is
spreading, that’s outrageous.
Nurse: Well, that is the policy.
Mrs. Harris: OK, I’ll get a mammogram every 6 months then to be sure
to catch it.
Nurse: Obamacare only allows for a mammogram every 18 months.
Mrs Harris: It could have metastasized and spread all over in 18
months.
Nurse: Yes, but then surgery will be covered by Obamacare.
Mrs. Harris: But the outcome is so much worse then.
Nurse: That’s true but Obamacare does provide 2 weeks of hospice.

Frog, my wife's friend just visited for a week, she's from the U.K. I
asked her what she thought of her healthcare system, and she said that
although there are some problems, overall it works very well. They get
alot of U.S. news feeds there, and her take? The conservatives here do
nothing but cherry pick a few things that failed in the system but
never, ever report the good.

Neither side is being honest on the good or the bad of each. And both
could learn from each other if it wasn't for politicial arrogance and BS.

Since I have actually lived and used under all three, Canada, UK and
US... take it for what it is worth. But Obamacare is at best making the
same mistakes many which are fixable at this stage. But it isn't about
health care, it is about government revenue.

Believe it or not I am for global care, but I think Obama is driving you
all into a world of hurt with his idea of it.
