Now tell us how you _personally_ know that. First hand examples, please,
not some article from a leftist news source.
Conversations with friends in that line of business. I made friends
with some clever people when I was at university, and some of them
have done very well.
That does not answer the question.
So what would answer your question to your satisfaction? Do I have to
do volunteer health work in a sufficient number of randomly selected
hospitals?
You need to have experience in this area to make such statements.

Not true. Statistics exists to allow you to get an overview of a large
number of cases.


Statistics? Such as?


No amount of anecdotal evidence of good health care for the indigent
disproves the existence of pocekts of poor health care, and the US
public health statistics are bad enough - for an advanced
industrialised country - to make it clear that there a significant
numbers of people in the US who get really poor health care.


We have a problem with uninsured people but we do not have a problem with health care. Even the uninsured get proper health care except that they'll have collection agencies knocking at their door afterwards.

When have you been in the US for an extended period of time? Meaning having lived here.


Right-wing web-sites don't tend to publish these statistics - they
think that job-related health insurance is a necessary tool in the
struggle to encourage people to take on under-paid and depressing
jobs. This doesn't invalidate the statistics when they show up on less-
than-right-wing websites.

<snipped more anecdotal non-evidence>

But with atypically good health care.
Not at all. We have to drive one hour to get medical care for big stuff
such as chemo. I know, because I've given rides to cancer patients.

Which doesn't conflict with the statisitcal evidence which shows that
quite a few poor people somewhere in the US aren't getting good health
care.


And where is that statistical evidence? Here I do not mean some local TB outbreaks but a more thorough _country-wide_ study that includes _all_ procedures.
