Let me tell you a story.
One of my best friends here in Los Angeles has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. He was going in and out of a doctors office and paying for everything out of his own pocket because EVERY insurance company in the US that he tried to buy insurance from denied him for a preexisting condition.
He is a US citizen and has paid taxes in this country for many years but was born in England. He can not afford health care in the US any longer as he is disabled and can not work a steady job and they will not let him purchase insurance. He has been denied treatment 2 times when he was almost dead. He finally went back to England and from there he also went to France where he has been treated for his condition and kept alive. He goes back and forth every so often for testing and medication. The British and French government reimburse him for his flight. Now you tell me what is wrong with this picture?
If he had relied on the US for treatment he would be DEAD.
