You know Rozie, that I am from europe and each person in my country has a health insurance and i think it is very important for people. I wish they would make it better in USA to, so there will be better care for people here. We were just talking about this with my fiancee and he think that you have much better doctors here, what i agree, but for who are all those great doctors, when people cannot afford to go to them? Also maybe we don't have so qualified doctors over there but I have never seen so many people without teeth like here in USA. So I am thinking what is better? To have great doctors and cannot afford them or maybe doctors who doesn't have all this perfect technique, but still do the best for you they can.

Are you making fun of us by saying that we have no teeth? LOL, that is not very nice. May be true, but not nice. I have heard in the last few years that a lot of good American doctors are leaving and going to third world countries where they are appreciated and not sued at every turn.

No , i am not making fun of americans, because this is my home now. I think ti is very sad, if I see young girls having very bad teeth or seeing 40 years old people having none. i think eveyone should have the health care, because there is something important to have.

I'm not sure but I don't think it is right myself either. Health insurance can be so high here. My mom had to cancel a test for colon cancer because her health insurance wants like 2000.00 before it will kick in. She just wanted it to be on the safe side because my grandmother had it.

I would not expect that from the United States! The States leads the world in many areas and medicare should be one of them. Those statistics appear to belong to a third world country, how sad and worrisome for our American friends this must be. Take care Rozie.

Its terrible when you hear statistics like that. It shows this countries focus is not on its own people but elsewhere e.g. war in iraq etc. A lot of those funds could easily fund those who don't have medical insurance, provide some type of free clinic/s, or some type of medical insurance where it was affordable for all.

That is unaceptable. People should bbe able to get medical care without the worry of no insurance. The government could make insentives for doctors to hold free clinics for uninsured people. No question something needs to be done. I live in Alberta where everyone is intitled to get medical care. We do not worry about insurance.
