| Message | They won't get the treatment as quickly (looks to the US as the poster boy for private health care) |

| Message | Exactly and most doctors refuse to treat patients that are being paid for by the state. I myself am from a poor family and there is discrimination. My mother, upon breaking her ankle(the bone at the bottom of her foot was pushed up into her ankle), was told by the doctor that nothing was wrong with her foot. The raeson? He saw that we are on medicaid and assumed she was there for pain medicine. He never even glanced at her foot, only at the clipboard file. She had to have extensive surgery done because of her injury, which according to that bigot, was only a fake injury for drugs. |
