I told my niece in the UK about my costs for hearing aides. She was shocked, they are provided free under the NHS. They are so thankful for the NHS, and would not like to see the US version of "healthcare" implemented there. We really ARE fools to tolerate this system. Since crooks are ripping off Medicare in the Billions of $$$, how come they keep saying we can not afford our own system? Money seems to be no object when it comes to the military, flights overseas for politicians and their families, golf trips that cost millions. We are being royally screwed.
