A thread about poor people suffering on PH?

Good luck with that one.

Oh yes, stupid of me should just ignore the fact that people are without water due to corporate negligence... Nothing to see here carry on...

Emergency care is pretty similar. But you wouldn't sit for hours in a clinc waiting for your appointment in the US. They're also much keener (because an insurance company is picking up the bill) to run tests and carry out procedures that Doctors in the UK will avoid if they can (due to the cost).

Yes that's the medical equivalent to allowing an accident management company take over the "management" of a claim! Medical insurance cost in the US is astronomical for anyone other than the completely fit. If you have an existing medical condition then prepare to be financially raped!
