I just realized this is a quote from AM Costa Rica. At first, I was wondering if I was high to be able to understand Greengo's post so easily ?

I hope that Americans are ready for this once Universal Health Care starts up in the USA. Everyone will have health coverage, but it will be low-rate, shoddy coverage and you will only receive the treatment that the system deems you deserve. Rationing will become a fact of life. And good luck holding providers responsible in cases of negligence or incompetence.

Don't believe that medical care tragedies due to incompetence, indifference and uncoordinated care resulting in timely death DO NOT occur in the USA with the BEST health insurance ..they DO, and I know this personally. The fact that this story happened in CR, in a caja hospital to a foreigner means nothing.

Going from a heartfelt story of medical incompetence in CR to a quasi-political rant about the supposed future in the US is quite a stretch and to my mind, not quite kosher. And BTW, such medical care rationing IS a fact of life in the US--just others than a govt. functionary doing it.
