Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.
Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

I dunno - of course politicians were involved, but to me, the real problem is shown in this paragraph -
And these -Stroud says that for her son, the consequences were devastating. Despite hours of phone calls, she says, she couldn't find surgeons on his new insurance plan willing to do the highly specialized procedures he needed. Over the next seven months, her son lost 10 pounds, quit the football team and often missed school.
Why would the surgeons, orthpaedists, and paediatricians, not be willing to perform the treatments needed?She said a baby born with a clubfoot also suffered because she couldn't find an orthopedist willing to take the baby's plan. The baby couldn't have the necessary casts to twist the foot back into place and may need surgery, Cosgrove said.
Dr. Elizabeth Curry, a pediatrician in Port St. Joe, Florida, said that last year, she took care of a baby whose eye wiggled back and forth involuntarily, which can be a sign of a brain tumor.
Curry said it took her more than a month to find an ophthalmologist willing to take the baby's Medicaid plan -- and the doctor she finally found was three hours away, in Pensacola.
Was it cos they were not capable - something I doubt.
Or was it cos the insurance plan involved didn't pay them enough?
Does this not worry people who think health care financed by private insurance is the best of all possible systems?
Or am I missing something - I admit I know very little about your health care systems.
Oh, I wish I were a glow worm,
for a glow worm's never glum,
'cause how can you be grumpy
when the sun shines out your bum!

Umm ... no one has answered my questions about why the surgeons, orthpaedists, and paediatricians, were unwilling to perform the treatments needed - why is that?

“Conscientiously believing that the proper condition of the negro is slavery, or a complete subjection to the white man, and entertaining the belief that the day is not distant when the old Union will be restored with slavery nationally declared to be the proper condition of all of African descent, and in view of the future harmony and progress of all the States of America, I have been induced to issue this address, so that there may be no misunderstanding in the future”
