Unless you are a doctor, you need not say she needs a different medical professional. You don't know what her issue with her hip is, and therefore, should not give medical advice.

She's not limited to one doctor. She could very easily find another. Get your facts straight before you try to sound smart.

Funny how you don't seem to care about those who are in the poor house or jail because of huge medical bills due to your system. I'm happy about my country's free healthcare, free schooling, not to mention the money the state pays me to go to school. Does it mean we have to pay lots of taxes? Yeah. Does it mean we have many poor people? No, we have very few, much fewer than in the US. Could this system work in the US? Probably not in this form, no. But high taxes and free healthcare aren't a bad thing. I'll gladly pay more in taxes to ensure that everybody has access to medical care and education. I'm from Denmark, btw.

You're an idiot! Health care should be a right- not a luxury! I get to go to whatever doctor I want and it's free every time! Thank goodness I live in country where my government isn't so backward that they don't provide essential services for their citizens- whether they can afford it or not!

You've drunk the kool-aid, 34.

Not only are you horribly misinformed and incapable of putting together a good argument, you illustrate this with "YAAAAAAAAA". What an idiot.

Olineo I want what you have! I want my two daughters, Erika, 3 and Shyanne, 7 months, brought up with a system like that then our cluster **** in the states. Just have to figure out how to move our business which is a pawn shop, then find a home. I'd love for them to do public education, but not in this county. Besides, my medical issues would taken serious instead of dragged out to make as much possible money off of my pain, surgeries, and procedures that could help me be the mom to my kids that I used to be able to be, and their lives would be so much better. I want out! I'm terrified to send my girls to school and will have to do online schooling. I want that mainly for my kids who are the most amazing gift God and my husband gave to me.

What many of you seem to fail to realize is that the quality of many but perhaps not all of the health care that is given for "free" by many countries is substandard. They will treat you when they decide, how they decide and where they decide. Many (but not all) countries provide substandard meds and treatments that are administered by unmotivated,under paid and over worked staff. In this country,Obama's notion of "free" healthcare is one of sickness. It means that we pay a certain amount that is decided by the government in order to ensure we can get their version of healthcare. Their dr's at their leisure. If you fail to pay said amount for your "free " healthcare, you can be fined and jailed. I would rather provide health insurance for myself and my family. If that makes me a bad person and wrong,,,well then I am a bad person and am wrong.....
