I've heard many independent testimonies about German
g*vernment-run health care system, and they are invariably
horror stories. Things like a woman that suffered pain for
40+ hours because the (evil, insensitive) obstetricians
didn't want to do a C-section.
OTOH, I've heard some horror stories about USA capitalist
controlled health care system, like pregnancies without
ultrassound (because it's too expensive) or a woman
suffering a 1-year long headache whose physician didn't
sent her to a neurologist.
