It have been a proses for a time this words - mostly because I usually are not telling this things on message boards - but many on DU have expressed strong feelings about universal health Care, so I decided to broke some of my own rules - to tell how I experienced universal health care where I live..
It most be hard to live in a country - where you pocket are the ones who deiced if you can get proper treatment or not for illnesses you might experience over many years in your life, some live to be 100 without any illnesses, others get illnesses and have to go to the emergency room - or be in a hospital for a long time - for me it took 3 weeks to get well enough to get home - when I needed it it was great to be able to be there - and getting help from my illness - but I am very gratefully that I am back home - where I belong... A hospital is a hospital - even if the nurses and doctors do a great job making it possible to get your well... And I was thinking many times when I was lying there in the hospital, how lucky I indeed was, for not have to worry about the bill after treatment... Specially when the night was there, and I was not able to sleep I had time to think how lucky I was - and maybe also decide for myself what I would do when I was getting home again... And I deiced I would do a lot different - specially with what I'm eating....Less meat - more fish and bird - and a lot more fresh vegetables on the table from now one.....
