Subject:   Being UK citizens they know reality
Date:   10/30/2019 10:09:54 PM (updated 10/30/2019 10:25:49 PM)

In 2006 my wife and I and our best friends had the pleasure of spending a day in Liphook, England (a london suburb) with a young couple and there 2 kids 7 and 3.  15 years before Heather had spent a year as a au-pair caring for our friend 2 kids.  While in Atlanta she met another UK citizen who worked as a chef in an Atlanta hotel.  They dated and fell in love.  He took a chef job in NYC and Heather followed him. after about 3 years they moved back to the UK and got married.  He then, and still today, works in the hotel industry in a food service management position for a large British hotel mamagement company headquartered in London.  He is still a chef at heart and prepared a traditional English Sunday ''roast''.  before lunch, as we sat in the garden of their modest home drinking pim's cups the conversation about there growing family turned to their difficulty in gettin doctor's appointments for the kids and the difficulty of healthcare in general.  The both cussed NHS up one side and down the other but then glanced at us and our quizzical looks, stopped their conversations, laughed and then he stated ''of course in experiencing the health hassle in the US and the UK we much prefer our NHS!''

MM, I'm sure you can find lots of Canadians and Brits that hate their healthcare system.  You also know you can find a lot of US citizens very equally disgusted by the nonsense of the US health nightmare.  I'm sure you have the ability to provide the best for yourself and your family and the same for CRD...well I hate to break it to you, but you are not the ''average'' American!  

Now, if you look at the facts you will find that, inspite of all it's problems and negative press, most Veterans who use VA medical offerings are still very satisfied.  I noticed you didn't bad mouth Medicare.  Why not, it is ''socialized Medecine''?  I suspect it is because you know enough people that are very happy with our Medicare...I certainly am.  As a constituent urged, I believe it might have been Sen Joe Manchin "Don't let the government get involved in my Medicare!''
