I live in America. I am told that we have the best health care in the world. (Where is this going?)
Today, this "best health system in the world" has cost me 2.5 hours (so far) trying to reschedule an appointment that my doctor canceled and refill 2 prescriptions.
Nothing is done. This was just to get things started. I'm still waiting for callbacks and messages between the various parts of the system to resolve these matters.

Folks, it is not a good time to be older and not quite healthy, also in Poland. I have been postponing necessary purchases, but now I really have to replace my glasses and buy special shoes for my bone spurs.
A friend organized a fundraiser for me, as GoFundMe does not cover Poland.
So, if you please, drop a fistful of dollars and share the link. Any surplus will be shared with my community #TePeWu, where there are others in need, too.Donate to Keep Petros Active and Helping Others, organized by Michael Tagliabue

Trump claims US outspends on healthcare globally
The claim: Trump said the US spends more money on healthcare than any other country in the world.
What Trump said:
“We have a public health system that does not deliver in times of disaster, yet more money is spent on it than any country anywhere in the world.”
The facts: Trump is correct. The US does spend more on healthcare per capita, almost twice the average of other wealthy countries.
WHAT NEEDS TO BE ADDED: US Healthcare outcomes are among the worst of the "wealthy nations" - We're Number 12 in life expectancy. Maternal Mortality -#64 Cardiovascualr dsease- # 5
Why is the President proud that we are wasting so much money?

Although federal #law requires insurers to provide the same access to mental & physical #HealthCare, these companies have been caught, time & again, shortchanging customers w/ mental *illness* [wellness care needs] — restricting coverage & delaying or denying #treatment.
These #patients — whose *disorders* can be #chronic & costly — are bad for #business, industry insiders told @ProPublica.

#America is in the midst of a #MentalHealthCrisis.
But finding a therapist who takes #insurance can feel impossible.
Insurers say that’s because there aren’t enough therapists.
That’s not entirely true. [or at all]
>500 other psychologists, psychiatrists & therapists…shared their experiences….
…one after another, [said] they confronted a system set up to squeeze them out.
