you have to wait months to see a doctor and then they decline treatment if its too expensive.
old people are left to rot away and we end up paying way over the odds for it through taxation.

Anyone with a preexisting condition who has tried to get health care in the U.S. is aware of rationing, decline, expense, and the fact that appointments with specialists are not something that are available the same week or month sometimes.
Premiums, copays, and deductibles combined with what isn't covered are far more than what we would pay if everyone were taxed to cover a national health care program administered by the federal government.
People have a very difficult time understanding this reality, however because we live in the "greatest country in the world" and their Republican government would never lie about the inferiority of those other health care systems.
