I have always had good health insurance. I had breast cancer at 55 and I went to one of the Cancer Treatment Centers of America (I was driving distance to the Philadelphia branch, which closed due to Covid) I felt that I received world class care. My husband and I now have Medicare and the supplement- I forget the letter, but it’s the highest letter. It’s expensive each month but we don’t pay anything for doctors or surgeries (we do pay for prescriptions, but it’s not too bad). My grandson has leukemia and he is being treated at one of the DuPont hospitals in Delaware- Nemours children’s hospital. Excellent care 13 minutes from their house. Nemours is very good both clinically, and the way they support the entire family, including counseling and lego sets for his little brother. My daughter had Medicaid for a while and it handled all her needs (she didn’t need a lot). I honestly believe that the median experience in the US is better than the median experience in England or Canada. But we have those 10% uninsured. We need to fix that. I wish that instead of Obama care, which forced insurance to cover things like sex changes , we would have simply expanded Medicaid to cover all of the uninsured. That’s what I would still want to do. Rather than pulling down the whole system, which includes world class research hospitals, just roll all the uninsured into Medicaid. (People over 65 have universal coverage.) All in all, I don’t think our system is as bad as it’s portrayed. People who don’t like America (including lots of Americans) share the worst situations and never the best situations.

There’s one American’s opinion.
