Well if Jagger hangs around long enough he'll get to take advantage of US socialized medicine.
Trump is planning on making the GOP the party of socialized healthcare (more than it is already)

Needing new heart valves is generally not an emergency situation ... that is, unless a secondary infection or other urgent medical issue is also present. My husband was told at 45 that he would need new valves ... eventually. That was 16 years ago. He just had his annual cardiac checkup and was told by his cardiologist: you’ll still need new valves ... eventually.

Mick will be back onstage being his awesome self in no time. There are great cardiac surgeons all around the world. America does not own the patent on good medicine.

So rich people get treatment in the US? All this shows is that the free market works as intended screwing over the poor and giving the rich what they need.

And the sky is green. The US healthcare is free market and thats why it sucks. Some things like healthcare should not have a profit motive. A shoe repair shop yes healthcare no.

Here is a question for you, if you are so against universal medical care why don't you pay privately for your teachers, police force or fire brigade? Surely you would then get a much better service from them no?
I really wouldn't have a problem with universal health care as long as the government doesn't run it, I can think of to many examples of government run agencies that are huge failures.

This is not well thought-out.

A wealthy person with great health insurance is in no way “screwing over the poor”.

Healthcare is a commodity that comes with a cost. It’s not a wealthy person’s burden to feel guilty for allocating his/her funds into high-end healthcare.

I feel so bad for you. A grown adult (I'm assuming anyhow) shouldn't be struggling this much. Your teachers and parents have failed you in an almost embarrassingly comical fashion. Bless you.
