| Socialized medicine is not the answer. Socialized insurance is. The second without the first is the most effective arrangement. |

| Government Provided Health Care is retarded because it not really free and it has a huge downside. The only one it works great for are the lazy welfare s. 2 tier system ftw. |

| There is something terribly wrong with the way the american health care works through insurance. Why should even small surgeries like appendectomy cost upwards of $ 20,000 ? It's ridiculous. Why is dental care so expensive ? Is there truly a need for the system to be so prohibitively expensive that you must have insurance to cover the costs? |

| even if the insurance company agreed to the treatment when the letter was sent, she would of still been placed on a waiting list for a transplant and probably would of died waiting for one |

It's hard to discount that alot of the cost is in insuring the hospital itself against lawsuits. I cant quote any numbers but I believe malpractice and other field related insurance coverages are quite high. |

I believe they already had a piece ready for transplant, but the company didn't agree to cover the costs. |
