Nurses deride 3% pay offer.

There are teeth tourists too, there's a town in Mexico just across the border (I can't remember its name) where Americans flood in for dental work at a fraction of the cost

Of course there are. Everything is cheap in Mexico. I think you can get a boob job for $50 and a goat.

Good luck.

Yeah, aren't those BBl's the new thing down there?
A few people have died from infections after the ass lift

It's a little dicey, but it's cheap.

Why does every thread about healthcare become about some American trying to sell us their failed system?

Americans pay twice as much as a percentage of GDP and their healthcare outcomes do not match up to that investment - or come anywhere close.

I don't care what system you use.

You're far more interested in me and mine.

No - but your preaching for failed systems is falling on deaf ears

And your use of false dichotomies breaking your own rules ...

I like my system.

I hope you like yours.

Clear?

[Cactus Jack]

Actually you don't like your system - you want it changed to exclude more people by overturning certain laws that extend healthcare to those you consider undeserving.

And I don't 100% love my system - I want it changed to include more people.

That is what is clear

Who do I deem undeserving of anything?

What a strange comment about me.

I think you mean Tijuana. I've been there for a day trip when we did California, it's quite a dump.

Generally most people.

I'm an expat living in America now. So I've experienced both healthcare systems. Do you want to explain to me why I know the American system is better?
I'm absolutely certain I can shoot down any BS you try to post by using personal experience of both systems unlike you.

The expats I know from Canada and the UK complain about it being more complicated, and it is. You have a lot more options, which is new to people used to one.

I've never heard one wish they were being treated "back home", when the shit hits the fan though.

At the end of the day, when you or a loved one are in pain or need help, money, simplicity and fairness become very unimportant. The best care is all that matters.

I think 3% is rather good. They want 12%. WTF. I haven't had a rise in my ESA for years. They're just greedy. We know they'll give in and they'll get about 8% as Sky News says but if I were Boris I'd stand firm and wouldn't increase it.

Seen you trash-talk teachers too, basically calling them lazy. Is there any profession you like, or even respect?
Hey ho. Whatever.

It seems to be a rule that the extreme right justify any amount of tax avoidance, price gouging or just plain corruption as just 'in the game' but when a worker wants to be paid a fair price for their labour it's greed.

One of the many double standards they carry into battle.

It's me the ex-pat, Not sure what you mean about it being more complicated Maddog?
Any time I need to see a doctor I phone book an appointment that suits my schedule and go see them. I hand over insurance card and State id. they pay the co-payment and that's it.
If I need a follow appointment like I do on Wednesday. It will be the same format I show up at appointed time see the receptionist and fill in the usual forms hand over my Insurance card and ID and pay co-payment.
I drive home and stop to pick up any prescriptions at my local Pharmacy that have already been sent through electronically.
I've used the NHS and switch to private health care when I lived in the UK.
I notice CJ didn't respond to me though. I guess he only has a hard on for you
