I consider myself extremely fortunate not to live in the USA.
My home, the UK, "suffers from" a touch of what is often described by the utterly ingnorant on these boards as the "evil" of socialism. Those commenters wouldn't know the meaning of the word if they studied it for 4 years because they are too damn thick! The whole point of socialism is to care for your fellow man and not rob him blind. The rates being charged for a 20 minute "guess" are more akin to the principles of prostitution than the Hippocratic oath. These aren't doctors, these are people trying to outdo the highest paid escorts in the world and care as much about their "patients" as the escorts do their clients. At least the escorts have the decancy and honesty not to pretend they care!
