Ya know, I was thinking similar things when I was reading Ali's post!

Most people I know who live in areas with socialized medicine complain about the number of things that aren't covered and how long it takes to get treatment. I have a friend who flies his wife to the US about 4-5 times a year for medical treatment because Holland has a 9 month waiting list for her treatments. He's pissed that we're changing the insurance system cuz now he's worried he might have to find someplace else to get her care.

My friend's uncle had to wait 6 months to have a surgery because it wasn't life threatening. So he was off work for 6 months, waiting.

But you can get fertility treatments so that the population can continue to go up so the waiting lists for care get longer. Ain't that irony? LMAO

My regular insurance only covered my birth control at the normal prescription rate. So when I had a break in insurance I went to Planned Parenthood and they gave me a 1 yr supply for free. Thank goodness for clinics!
