"free healthcare" will kill you

After recent adventures in the healthcare system, it has become painfully clear that free healthcare will kill us. Yes....dead....kill us. Thinking back in something the surgeon said to my husband, I started researching a medication the. VA prescribed to him over a year ago. He took it because he was told he needed it. He was not told that this medication was a "last resort" medication, meaning that other meds had been prescribed for treatment and had failed before this one was to be prescribed. Note, he had NOT been I on ANY meds for "high tryglycerides" prior to this, the VA quack wrote the script out of the blue. Nor were we told side effects to this medication was pancrititis, liver damage, gallstones and gallbladder removal. Yes once again we will fix your tryglycerides, but kill you in the process. I'm sure all of you by now are yelling "fire that quack and get a good Dr!!!!" Not so fast there speedy, you see once you are Assigned to a quack in this "free" healthcare system, it actually takes an act of congress to get another doc and that's ONLY if the quack you're trying to leave does not object. So now what are your choices? The va is a free healthcare system that our veterans are stuck with. Care provided by staff that other hospitals would never employ. I am not refering to the speciality clinic Drs. The majority are fantastic docs trying to take good care of our vets when someone else has already done their damage. Is this what you people really want? To be nothing more than a number and a test subject? You can shove your "free" Heathcare, I'm rather fond of living.
