Citizens of France are instructed to receive emergency medical services in the USA [View all]

And return to France or other countries to receive other medical treatments. Why, because health care in the US is too expensive. Our prescriptions and health care is marked up and there is not any control of cost. We will never get the cost under control without having a single payer system. Too many of congressional members are going for the money in their pockets. When I hear bragging about what a wonderful health system we have in the USA and talk to citizens of France and the UK and I realize they do not have the long lines and lack of good health care I know it is all lies. Why do we encourage Medicaid patients to get their health care in emergency rooms at a high cost i just wonder what we are thinking.
