Fairground becomes a makeshift hospital 'like you'd expect to see in Sudan' to deal with the US health care crisis as officials grumble over Obamacare
Hundreds of desperate patients, some in their 90s, traveled miles to be seen to by doctors offering free care
Medical staff used animal stalls, articulated lorries and barns to carry out health examinations and treatment
Pictures show rows of people lying in beds being treated by doctors walking on dirty tarmac in Wise, Virginia
Charity workers said the scenes were like something they would expect to see in South Sudan

thanks trump

I'm so happy to see you fall.
What's the betting 90% of those inbred trash vote Republican?
>>139906421
>>139906422
lmfao
I can believe this is real too. republicans convinced their voters obamacare and ACA are two different things.
Meanwhile, in Britain, NHS rated "best health care system in the world" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-40608253
>>139906424
Then why are you Brits always complaining about it on /int/?
>>139906425
you would win a nobel prize if you could get everyone on the internet to agree on one thing.
>>139906425
Well it's not perfect plus we enjoy whining.
>>139906418
Too much for America this storm
ever heard of the coverage gap?
2.5 million people fell between the cracks.
it is sad but it is less than 1% of the US population. most are in the south of course.
>>139906425
People who have it good whine about the tiniest shit. Britain could hand out free immortality pills and you'd be seeing crying on /int/ because of it.
>>139906418
Good.
No wonder why I never wait more than 10 minutes at the hospital.
Feels good to be insured.
I demand a vote to remove the U.S from the Western World. We're better without them.
This happened in Katrina is well. I simply do not understand.
>>139906434
Bitch, we're the new world.
I thought I'd share my graph as well.
It is the original research and I could be wrong
>>139906418
Those are dentists, no? Even up here dentists cost money so if there was a tent of them doing it for free I'd get in on it too.
>>139906434
you are not the western world.
>>139906438
Its like something you'd see in sudan!
Dental work!
>>139906434
>Katrina
So you think the OP pic has something to do with Harvey or any other hurricane? Dumb nigger
>>139906441
they posted the link, you fucking IDIOT
>>139906438
Good point. That changes everything. You'd probably get similar scenes in Norway as well. Dentists are super expensive.
>>139906439
At least Portugal cares about those who suffer
>>139906438
just wait until some 3rd world nigger will brag that they have free dental care in their shithole.
>>139906442
who THEY? which LINK? the OP link? you FAGGOT?
>Widowed Early, A Cancer Doctor Writes About The Harm Of Medical Debt
>Chino is co-author of a research letter, published Thursday in JAMA Oncology, that shows that some cancer patients, even with insurance, spend about a third of their household income on out-of-pocket health care costs outside of insurance premiums. It's an issue Chino knows well.
>In 2005, before they were married, Chino and Ladd were living together in Houston. She was working in entertainment, and he was on the verge of earning his doctorate in robotics at Rice University. Each had medical insurance – she through her job, he through the school. He was diagnosed with neuroendocrine carcinoma... In less than a month, they reached his $5,000 prescription drug limit and began paying $300 out of pocket for his anti-nausea medications and blood thinners. Ladd was getting sicker but trying to keep up with his work. Chino emptied her retirement savings and quit her job to care for him. Soon, his medical costs surpassed his insurance policy's $500,000 lifetime limit. But the bills kept coming.
>Despite his illness, Ladd landed a job as a professor at the University of Michigan. It came with health insurance, and he continued treatment there
>But he never moved into his office. Three months into his time at Michigan, he died.
>Chino was left with an ocean of debt. She estimates it's in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
>>139906439
Portugal has a much better view of basic human rights and civility than America does.
>>139906447
There's something about your response that is just cringey and ...somehow inviting to Muslim war criminal refugees.
>We will go to America!
We're not gonna give you healthcare or money or anything.
>We will go to Europe/Canada!
>>139906446
feels good not being a yank
>>139906450
I'm a government employee.
When I retire, Me AND my family get free healthcare for life.
>>139906448
>There's something about your country that is just cringey and ...somehow inviting to all criminals.
>>139906447
do you know this how exactly? you retards are memeing about 0.8% of the US population without insurance. the rest has access to the top tier health care. as opposed to the welfare states and various shitholes where everyone has access to shitty healthcare.
>>139906452
>fight off 1 tyrant 4000 miles away
>get 100,000 tyrants only a few miles away
The original Patriots would not like this
>>139906453
No ones gonna give it to you, lady.
You gotta take it.
>>139906454
How come you have such low life expectancy then? 0,8% of the populace can't skew the results THAT much.
>>139906418
50" of rain in a few days in a flat coastal area. I'd like to see how any European country besides the Dutch do. Here is less than a third of that water with no 100+ mph winds and ocean in Southern France.

Well, those tyrants pay me well and offer an incredibly secure career and excellent benefits.
Every year my compensation raises and raises and the perks get better and better.
This whole healthcare debate is irrelevant to me.
btw, not the hospitals of their choosing, the hospitals/dr's HMO ppo whatever of MY choosing. public private whatever.
>>139906459

It's nothing to do with weather and it was in July.
Letting the weak live through medical intervention and thus reproduce is a tragedy.
>>139907868
...no but David Blumenthal...president of the Commonwealth Fund did. I hear echoes crashing into echoes.
>>139907311
>Free health care
Yeah where? If I were a dumb ngirl with three kids I could get Medicare but as of right now no way. But I still can't afford health insurance. Luckily I'm too poor to be penalized on my taxes.
The only decent thing about our system right now is to some extent you can just walk in and if it's an emergency they will help you and just give you a massive amount of debt and you can then just declare bankruptcy. Hospitals actually only collect like 12% so if you're one of the people paying all your bills you're getting cucked
