An American got sick in Taiwan. He came back with a tale of the ‘horrors of socialized medicine.’

I got everything in the family members in the US, from doctors to airline mechanics. Most live in Northern states, Eastern states. The ones worse off as I said before are the wife of a Vietnam vet who became sick due to his exposure there to well, the war. When he was disabled and in treatment she got in a near fatal collison on her way to the hospital. That was my first exposure to the medical system there, as early translator for our family. My uncle and cousin, doctors in Buffalo, do not have nice things to say.

Well, I hope they’re doing ok.

I still don’t understand why you seem to think Americans live lives of quiet desperation, though. I find it as disturbing as it is inaccurate, but it’s your opinion, your lens. Everybody’s got one.
