How Messed Up Is Our Health Care System?

Why does it seem like every illegal immigrant I see is getting their health care costs covered by our government and taxpayers (Medicaid), yet the country’s citizens are going bankrupt because they can’t afford to pay their medical bills, and then 40 million of them are uninsured?
Ok to shorten the question, why is it so easy for illegal immigrants to get Medicaid, but there are tons of requirements Americans have to meet before they can get it?

They always ask at the doctor’s office why you are there, and you have
to answer in front of others what’s wrong and sometimes it is embarrassing.
There’s nothing worse than a receptionist who insists you tell her what is
wrong with you in a room full of other patients. Many of us have experienced
this, and I love the way this old guy handled it.
An 86-year-old man walked into a crowded waiting room and approached
the desk. The receptionist said, “Hello, sir. Can you please tell me why
you’re here to see the doctor today?”
There’s something wrong with my dick,” he replied
The receptionist became irritated and said, “You shouldn’t come into a
crowded waiting room and say things like that.”
Why not? You asked me what was wrong and I told you,” he said.
The receptionist replied, “Now you’ve caused some embarrassment in
this room full of people. You should have said there is something wrong with
your ear or something and discussed the problem further with the doctor in
private.”
The man replied, “You shouldn’t ask people questions in a room full of
strangers, if the answer could embarrass anyone.”
The man walked out, waited several minutes and then re-entered.
The receptionist smiled smugly and asked, “Yes?”
There’s something wrong with my ear,” he stated.
The receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken
her advice. “And what is wrong with your ear, sir?”
“I can’t piss out of it,” he replied.
The waiting room erupted in laughter.
Mess with seniors and you’re gonna lose!

Americans love to bash Canada’s Health Care System and go on and on about how bad it is. But I’m not buying it. What’s the real juice?

Visiting The Doctor For A Private Problem.?

i am really embarrassed to get it out. how did everyone else feel about it

I’ve just been denied Medi-cal coverage andy every other place I’ve called will not quilify me if I’m over 30 weeks pregnant? Our medical coverage got terminated since my husband lost his job in May.

I have almost finished a bachelor of science degree (3rd year) but my grades are not good enough for medical school (3.0 GPA). I want to pursue a career in health care but all I can seem to find information on are “community college” type jobs (the ones on every other commercial in the daytime!) or jobs that require medical school. What kinds of post-bachelor education can i get for a job that falls in between these 2 statuses?

A weatherman stands in front of a TV camera are reads the weather forcast.
A “meaty urologist” is a doctor of the private parts with a weight problem.
I made that up. I really kill myself, sometimes.
