We try to give you facts, Kal-El, but clearly they are coming form the wrong source for you to absorb. I had a stroke: total time before treatment, from the time I walked into the hospital, less than 10 minutes. Long wait? Same thing with anyone else I have spoken to: life-threatening or dibilitating injuries are treated right away, every time, using whatever means possible. Our problems here have to do with very long distances between places and poor weather conditions.
Do we have people waiting for electives? Sure we do, but getting treatment does NOT have anything to do with one's credit status! Why is that such a problem? If you are alright, that seems to be fine; anyone else without the financing, well, they can just die on the street... Lovely attitude.
I spent many years helping with the handicapped, making very little money; because I didn't go for the gold, I suppose I have no right to medical attention when I need it.... silly me....
