@otokyo__ I was in Cleveland about 20 years ago and two guys got off the train wearing their pants just like this. All I could think was "what if you have to run!"
I know a worse story. My friend's mother was scheduled for heart valve surgery. One Month went by. 3 months went by. Then 6. It was nearly a year before her surgery was finally scheduled. Sadly, it was too late. She died. This was 1989. Socialized healthcare has always been and always will be just a promise.
Are you suggesting a government entity cannot fulfill its duty to expeditiously deliver your wife a copy of her birth certificate? And yet, Amazon can deliver any number of products, from diapers to fertilizer, to clothing to books, almost immediately. I think we need more private enterprise and less government.
