Can You Afford to Get Sick in the USA
How come the USA is not in any ‘Quality of Life’ Top-10 list, (see list below) yet has the most millionaires; Billionaires, the Largest economy and the Top (biggest) Corporations ...in the World.
I am beginning to believe that a lack of quality education, is at the root of this and many other issues. Not understanding the benefits of a National Health System (NHS) is an education issue caught up in a political tug-o-war.
Why do I say that?
Clearly American decision making lately is generally extremely poor. And when something is this universally noticeable, it usually leads to one single cause. For me, that issue is education, exacerbated by incredibly biased, insular network television and political leaders focused on power retention, not Country.
It’s that age-old confluence of : —
Rubbish in — Rubbish out.
Below is such a touching article by Shannon Ashley on being a struggling mother, with an illness. I cannot imagine what that’s like, or what she goes through, but I am able to talk about one aspect of her article with some clarity :
Health Care.
