I take pain medication now and then for extreme back pain.

12. Yes it has!

My husband has a collaborator who is in Finland, their system is so much better than what we have. His wife had aggressive Breast cancer, the treatment was first rate and it ended up costing them less than $1000 US. He thinks the system we have is nuts. Yes, they pay higher taxes but so much of what they get from the government is to benefit people, not the military establishment or capitalism.

Because so many of our citizens never travel outside of their own state much less internationally they have no concept of how other countries handle issues we botch on a daily basis.

Until we get money out of our elections this is what we get. We get a congress that is bought and paid for by big pharma and big medical interests.
