My grandson was born in France (Father working there, and family living there). He was extremely sick when he was born. It was touch and go. He received wonderful care, recovered and is now doing fantastic. French doctors were top rate.

Cousin in the UK had quadtriple bypass surgery. Great doctors, great recovery.

I believe health care is a right. We lost our health insurance before we were on Medicare. Bought an expensive private policy, but it excluded anything that had to do with cancer. Once on Medicare I was once again covered.

JUst seems like there should be a better way. Also, I don't think a profit should be made from health care.
