Wow... if that isn't SC commmentary.
Nope, National Healthcare isn't one of the founding rights. Our medical system isn't the best it could be. I'm sure you'll go and applaud at the end of "Sicko." I've gotten into an argument or two about how someone thought he should be able to go to a foreign country, do illegal substances, followed by high risk activities and still have the US peoples pay for his choices.
But - just to catch you up to speed cuz it seems that several people here really don't know what they are talking about. TrophyHusbands wife is in the Air Force. The ER that he would possibly have gone to would have been within military medical system, which, as I remember, like it is "over there." Along with all the complaints of the system over there. Long wait times because of people being stupid and having no fear of repurcussions or cost. I saw people coming into the ER to be seen because they bumped their head with the camcorder, since they didn't have to pay for the visit, why should they care? If he wen't to a civilian ER, then TriCare (or "try to care") would have covered it. So basically: I've already paid most of his medical bills through my taxes.
But since it's the fourth - you bring up a good point. But, instead of tagging it on TrophyHusbands thread about his finger, how about I start a new thread (knowing full well that it might get bumped to SC)

Not the 'worst' thing I've ever seen in my life (think: Beheading) but it right up there with stuff you do to yourself, take a picture of and put it on the internet.
You're going to have a NASTY infection. Then it will really hurt. I saw the cut the night you put the pic up and I can't bear to read all the stuff that happened in between.
Unless you're building an Emergency Room, forget the project for now and get that finger looked at! Please!!~~April

I'm with you, I hate hospitals and the incredible way they waste time and resources.
Last year at the WFFC we were putting up the flag poles and one of our guys took a HUGE chunk out of the middle of his thumb when the collet and pole came together with a thud. He put a big piece of duct tape on it, and kept working. We had a lot to do..

That's what I love about this country. I've already paid most of my medical bills through my taxes. So if I cut off a piece of my finger or break a fib during a landing or something, I can afford to get it treated.
I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?
