Re: Socialized Medicine - Tell us your real life experiences
Of course somebody pays for it. Someone always pays for it -- in France, Canada, even here. Medicare? Private insurance? Health South? Do you really think you aren't paying for it now?
Do people from Canada come here for their medical care? In our very large extended family, I know of no one, even though many have the money and come here often for other reasons. But I do know of many who go from Syracuse to Canada for eye surgery and medicines.
I agree that the term "socialized medicine" is used to scare people. Unfortunately it keeps us from addressing the problem of providing affordable, accessible medical care in any meaningful way.
