Doctors Within Borders

People in England pay for a Queen and other royalty so how smart can they be? France is another country that was liberated by the U.S.A. and now the bunch of wussies want to tell us how to run our Country! You are a bunch of idiots who believe you don't pay anything! Who do you believe pays for your sorry butt to have all this stuff done? Keep your noses out of our business if you live in another country! Also where are the Drs taught that take such good care of you? In the United States!!

I worked all my life to have the things I do and I'm not giving it away to some sorry SOB who won't work! Now you want a government who cares more about baseball players steroid use to tell me the medical care I need. Get out of our Country and go back to your Socialist world!

WHATS NO TEETH HAVE TO DO WITH HEATHCARE? WHAT THAT HILLBILLY NEEDS IS A HYGIENE CLASS!

keepasmile - you are absolutely right! However, some people, for whatever reason, are simply unable to pay for a good education, you are one of the lucky ones. Again, where I come from, the land of Oxford and Cambridge (UK) education is FREE, it is a right just like healthcare - not a luxury. I come from one of the best educated countries in the world and I was lucky enough to be able to take advantage of that without ever having to worry about where the money would come from. America is in deep trouble, this country needs to wake up and take a long hard look at what's around them, then and only then, will you realise that you have been fed a line of garbage. People need to stop taking this nonsense lying down! Why is it deemed acceptable - someone please explain this to me!

The percentage of Americans that do not have health care is less than 8 percent; the unemployment rate is 5.5 percent so the biggest majorities without health care are unemployed hhhhhuuuuuuummmmm! Universal health care is not the answer the government screws everything up and does not to be in charge of this portion of society. I do believe that insurance companies are crooks and something needs to be done to straighten them out. Obviously if you have a college education and you are barely making ends meat then look for another job with better benefits, or here is a better one quit living outside your means. There is a thing as finical responsibility and a lot of Americans do not have it. If you don???t have a college education go back to school for a trade or something there are all kinds of grants and aid available for people to better themselves. I have a degree in criminal justice but went to school and got my CDL, I now drive a truck and work my butt off and my wife works as a receptionist we don???t make a lot of money, but my job has pretty good benefits. I could be a cop anywhere, but I choose not to because the pay well sucks and most of the benefits that the states and city???s offer are well crap. I don???t mind clinics helping people like this not one bit. My wife and I have money we set aside in our budget that we give to charity its is just the right thing to do, but this article is blowing smoke up everybody butt like we need universal health care because there all these people without and that is simply not true. The biggest problem in this country is that people everywhere think they have to have the biggest and nicest house and cars and are not living within their means finically. I don???t like to belittle anyone and I am all for living the American dream, I own my home my car???s are paid for and I am trying to get my house paid off as soon as I can. I would have loved to been able to of bought a bigger house and stuff but I like having money left over to go do things; and for that emergency that is just waiting right around the corner. I use to struggle and couldn???t ever seem to get ahead then I got turned onto Dave Ramesy. His plan sure helped me I recommend it to all people. Go to your local library and get the books it really puts things into perspective. I don???t know everyone???s situation and can???t judge but there is always something better out there and always better ways to do things we just have to look and find it???s the great thing about living in America and living in a free society.

I'm a middle class person with my own company and I pay over 10,000 a year for health care for me and my children. If I were to get sick then there would be no more health care for anyone in my family because I'm the only one making money to pay for it. The middle class is getting the shaft, but don't blame poor people. Lets put blame where it belongs. The health care industry pays millions of dollars to your congressmen and senators to keep things exactly the way they are today. The American Medical Association limits the number of qualified applicants who can get into medical school in order to keep the salaries of doctors as high as possible. They want you to blame poor people, that is the simple divide and conquer theory. There should be free healthcare for all Americans, just like there is free healthcare for all Canadians, Cubans, Englishmen, French, German, Chinese and nearly every other industrialized country on earth. The American middle class is being duped by our corporate sponsored media, corporate sponsored healthcare and our corporate sponsored politicians. We need to get rid of the insurance companies and have public healthcare in America. Someplace where a doctor will ask "What's wrong with you?" instead of "Where is your insurance card?". Who do you think is getting rich? The insurance companies. Any YOU, the middle class, the people reading this article, are paying for it.

It is shocking to hear that something as preventable as tooth decay is creating so many problems. Why not spend some of those charity dollars to implement a school program mandating that all students brush their teeth properly at the beginning and end of the school day, using flourinated toothpaste? Perhaps good dental habits would stay with the children as they grow into adulthood and staunch this dental plight.

I am a 26yr old wife and mother of three. My husband cannot work due to back surgary where they removerd a few dises. I pay 100.00 a week just myself and my husband for basic heath ins. We have no dental. Lord know I got with out help and when I go to my doctor he tells me to go to the dentist. Thank god for Arkids 1st. My kids have help but only to a point. I would love for America to be like those other countries. It would take soo much stress off me. I could enjoyo life and not have to live in pain.

Socialized Medicine is Government Medicine, ever hear the horror stories of Vererans Hospitals, Public Schools are Goverment Schools. The only reason these Doctors and Dentist can volunteer is because we are NOT Government Medicine. Some of you need to do more reading from Doctors in Germany and the UK on how they are leaving the Medical Profression due to their inablity to help people because they work for the Government. I dont care how much people spend on luxury cars or if they spend Ten Million on a wedding. You forget to ask an important question...how much do they give to charity? How many times do the wealthy help out people and we dont know about it. We dont need to know. We have become a complaining world. Too busy whinning instead of doing something to solve our own problems. Our solution is to look to the government to solve our problems, you have got to be kidding me...What you better be worried about is those Rich People deciding not to give to charity because the government could never Replace what they do. Next thing will be that I am going to the Government Grocery Store! Be careful for what you wish for, you just might get it.

America and AmericaNS, you ought to be ashamed of yourself! I cannot explain myself why the so called "greatest nation in the world" does NOT take care of its people. Plain and pure DISGUSTING. Get your heads out of your asses and begin to take care of yourself and quit whining every time taxes are increased...the tax increase helps you live longer. Look at model nations in Europe and in your OWN backyard to learn. But then again, you're all too proud to learn from others, while and families continue to suffer without healthcare--totally absurd and SHAMEFUL! USA get your act together. All the media attention and money you give to celebrities could be used towards building health care.

We are behind in health care. We definitely do not have a Cadillac but a lower Chevy Cobalt when it comes to health care. Canada, France, England and many others all have tax paid health care which surpasses ours. You do not have to wait to be treated for life and death situations at these countries like some people would have you think. And at the very least, you won't be turned away because you can't line the pockets of the greedy health insurance companies. It's a shame when you get turned away in this country for things like cancer. What a pathetic little country we have become.

How hard is it to brush your teeth twice a day and avoid the complications of poor dental hygene?
