Say what?!??!?!?
 
"Socialized medicine" ... is that like where we all get together and drink Cough Mixture until we fall asleep? (dude)
 
Quote Socialized medicine is a term used to describe a system for providing medical and hospital care for all at a nominal cost by means of government regulation of health services and subsidies derived from taxation.[1] It is used primarily and usually pejoratively in United States political debates concerning health care, because of the U.S. culture's historically negative associations with socialism.
 
...Ah - you mean the rest of the civilised world's health care systems. Yeah, we love it more than you love yours.
 
What?

Well I know you don't know.  I was just interested to see if you had an opinion?

I might hypothesize that being "satisfied" is less likely to come up than "it's better than the other option".
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

I am. Tongue  But for this to be meaningful you really need to throw in other socialized medicine systems in other countries...Wink
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Ok I have opened this question to all socialized health care systems, even there's no one single universal model. Again, is it true there are long waiting times? Old people denied costly procedures? Myth or truth?
