    Maybe just you. My father is disabled (Parkinson's disease) and he's getting all the meds for free (even a wheelchair). He had a few prostate surgeries recently. How much did we pay for it? Nothing!

    Me and my wife get tested in a local clinic every year (fluorography, various blood tests (CBC, biochemistry, hormones, viruses, cancer markers), cardiograms etc). She also gets tested as a women (mammography, gynecology etc). Everything is for free here. Furthermore, just yesterday she has cured two teeth. And yes, she paid nothing for it.

    Need more examples? Anyone here in Russia pays nothing for calling/using an ambulance.

    So I believe you are living in some shithole or you just have no idea about the healthcare you can have for free

    Do the US citizens have something similar? No, they haven't. Happy living in the "first wold"

      WTF was that?

            I have no idea what did you get. I never said that Russian free healthcare is the best one. At least it's free. If you don't like it, you can use the the paid one, which is also about 10..100 times cheaper than the US one

            I've read enough of stories about the US women died of a breast cancer just because they had no money for mammalogy yearly tests. That is a shame

                'I noticed it and paid attention to it, but going to the doctor is hard when you don't have insurance,' she had said.

                  I do, believe me, clown. How many people in the US have a healthcare insurance? Dare to call the numbers? Here in Russia even a homeless have it for free. So shut the fuck up already.

                      yes, let;s all move to russia for healthcare, here are the features and benefits:::

                      since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the health of the Russian population has declined considerably as a result of social, economic, and lifestyle changes.[4]

                      The average Russian life expectancy of 68.67 years at birth is nearly 10 years shorter than the overall average figure for the European Union, or the United States.

                      a high mortality rate among working-age males from preventable causes (e.g., alcohol poisoning, stress, smoking, traffic accidents, violent crimes). Mortality among Russian men rose by 60% since 1991, four to five times higher than European average.[9]

                      The infant mortality rate in 2008 was 8.5 deaths per 1,000, that almost 2x usa



                      i could keep going.....................

                        I pay 6% tax from my earnings and it covers it all. Unemployed people pay zero and they also have the same level of free medicine here. How much do YOU pay for it?

                        P.S. Yes, every "free" thing has its price. The question is: how how much is that price in YOUR country?

                              Having been treated on both sides of the US/Canadian border, I don't think the US has a healthcare problem at all. What they do have is an insurance industry problem coupled with big Pharma and Tort Law that could use some reform. But the actual care is exceptional if you're properly insured.

                              One of the guys I work with in Ohio comes to Canada every few months for his diabetes care, and then goes back home and makes payments to the hospital/doctors here. According to him, it's cheaper to do that, including travel and accommodations, because it's far too expensive for him to get insurance (maybe due to pre-existing reasons?). I have no idea what the figures are, I just found that interesting.

                              And as someone else said, nothing is free. Certainly the medical industry here in Canada is not free, we pay for it through taxation.

                                Dude, this is not a thread about the US healthcare. This is a thread about the whole world. So you better smoke a cigg (sorry I don't smoke) or drink a jerrycan of cheap whiskey and shut the fuck up already. Let the people say for their own countries. Try to relax.
