I seriously doubt he’s a MD.

I seriously doubt he can read a digital thermometer

If you actually had friends in some of these place they would blow your theory of better healthcare all to pieces .

Our Aussie friends were amazed during their last visit when they were only in the ER an hour or so when their daughter cut her hand and needed stitches.

And millions leave the US for care, what’s your point?

No they don’t. lol

Man I have had my doubts about many doctors that I have seen roll through. They used to be the best and brightest. Now they are quota fillers.

Not an MD

I saw the changeover starting about the time I was in college. Before that, the people who went into medicine were like the ones that went into teaching. They wanted to help others. Afterward, people wanted to become doctors because it became a lucrative profession. When you add in the benefits that teachers get, it sure beats retail and being a secretary. You can't retire after 30 years in retail or get holidays off.

I was amazed at the wait times just to see people’s own Dr when I lived in California if he decided they needed an MRI or something as simple as a stress test it would be weeks . Meanwhile the tug boat company I worked for got me into a Dr. for a full physical , stress test and one hell of a physical endurance course test all in one week . Money talks and socialism style programs suck.

You know . There’s a lot of these people that don’t get to see the nurses and Drs that come from other countries on work programs to learn how we do things and how differently they did things in there country

Ocean .. mostly a harbor whore ( that’s what you are called if you don’t go out in open water ) . We brought them in and took them out .

Cool. Had a friend that worked the river barges for years.

You just said there was still 26m uninsured. The original statement made when ACA was being debated was that there was 30m uninsured. So simple math based on your comments is that the ACA only helped 4m people. Care to revise your BS?

It was almost 50 mil uninsured before ACA

 

[OHvol40]

His point is clear. You’re parsing general healthcare needs like seeing your PCP for some antibiotics as “better” while we are clearly pointing to exceptional capability and medical developments as “better”. The former really isn’t rocket science intensive. The latter requires exceptional individuals to achieve which will require a carrot to attract. Here’s a clue what attracts them.

Explain to me, because nobody seems to be able to, what makes our healthcare exceptional compared to everyone else. What do we have that others don’t. I’ll wait.

 

[OHvol40]

No they don’t. lol

Yes they do, lol

I'm glad that the rest of us get to pay double to get them insured.

I literally just did.

And I provided a link earlier that supports the premise of my post.

Yeah, wonder why the cost is so high?

Tell me, exactly, in a quantifiable way, how our healthcare is best.

 

[NorthDallas40]

I did right here.

So their criteria wasn’t the number of doctors produced but instead was based on notable accomplishments. Quality vs quantity. Which when it comes to Healthcare sounds like a rational attribute.

I found another link that says India produces the most MD’s per year around 49k. The US was around 18K


Top 10 Countries with the Best Doctors in the World

You’re parsing based on how you want to quantify “best”. Well the article clearly measures best by innovation and advancing the state of medicine. That makes sense as the correct measure of “best” to me.

You will continue to reply “but I want to measure it by being able to walk into my PCP and get my antibiotics for free”.

Ask LG, Evil and CWV. And what do they have in common?

Here’s another link supporting my definition of “best”. In fact they use the word best also.

But China is gaining and I’m sure Punxsutawney Joe is willing to lend a he long hand!
