Totally false. Our health care system works, it is the envy of the world.
Dental is not covered and prescription as part of the health care but everything else is covered. Most companies offer their employees very cheap insurance to cover dental care and prescription.
Retirees pay ZERO for prescriptions. If someone is poor and on social assistance they have free prescriptions. I have no problem with the poor and less fortunate receiving free prescriptions.
Anyone can incur a surgery costing a million and every single penny is covered by health care. Rich or Poor.
If poor Cuba can have affordable health care any rich nation should also be able to offer it's citizens affordable health care.
