America has the greatest health care system on earth.

It is super cheap, with lots of options and a high degree of customer satisfaction.

It is called veterinary medicine. American pets get better health care that 95% of the world population for pennies. The reason is there are few barriers to suppliers so there are many options along the price curve. There’s also incentives to innovate. My Vet has world class lab equipment because it helps attract business. But, we would rather pamper our pets and starve out children than accept the reality of the human condition.

Your Say

My uncle Letsgo Lozko, he raised bantam chickens. He would get medicines from the local poultry doctor for ailing members of the flock.
He told me they are considered an acceptable substitute for the drugs we all get from the pharmacy. Morphine, antibiotics, depression meds, (yes, some chickens get down in the dumps, won't lay.)
He also mentioned animal chiropractors, uh, for the bigger critters like dogs and horses.
So put away your Medicare and insurance cards and start barking like a dog; go in to your local vet and have him treat you.
Don't forget, you must keep yourself on a leash.

4 xrays on my knee last month cost $955 and I didn't pay for them, but I presume someone did.

How can anything about that be justified?
