    A pregnant women was refused entrance to a private hospital she was forced to give birth on the parking lot in front of the entrance.

    Much different situation than in the US. They didn’t go bankrupt. The private hospital just wanted to send them to the maternity room down the road. Was it a mistake by the hospital? Yes. But it wasn’t because of lack of insurance or money and the mother didn’t got bankrupt.

      Yes of course, it was just a recent example to show that other countries aren’t perfect. I agree with the general message of the post, the us have a very fucked up system that is way worse than in Europe.

      You can look at my other comment for more detail about why I felt the need to react.

        I get it, but it’s still comparing apples to oranges. This situation could have happened in any country and also in the US with or without universal healthcare.
