Then you the individual have to jump through hoops to fill out papers, read documents and prove why and how you are elligible for said relief effort, and then you may still not get anything from it, and you are still being robbed by the government in the form of taxes.

Six years ago my doctor (who saw me the next day after calling about swollen lymph nodes) sent me to an ear, eyes and throat specialist (within a single didget amount of days) who diagnosed me with tongue cancer. No documentation or paperwork comes to mind to kick in a 5 star team of specialists who worked me through their system in record time to save my life.

There is a triage system built into medicare. Perhaps you think you need something that trained professionals disagree with you.

My ailment could have easily bankrupted me in the US. Everyone in a country as wealthy as yours deserves required medical attention regardless of the cost.

My feeling is that you are doing our medicare system a disservice,@binkyprod, with your exagerated presentation of how it works.
