YES you can, in fact before you even think about suing a Doctor for a mistake, for example, we have in place a Govt. compensation board who pay the citizen for such things as accidents, accidents in the workplace, even for injuries caused in auto accidents or being attacked in the street.

Yes! Take the VA as an example of UHC for instance. It is a Govt run program, so if you have a complaint about malpractice, your case goes thru Federal Court but also follows whatever that state's malpractice rules that are in effect.

Let me tell you some facts.............
I am Diabetic. Millions are Diabetic in the UK.
NO Diabetic pays for any Insulin or drugs or syringes or anything to do with their diabetes. I recently went into my nearest pharmacy and they gave me..free of charge a brand new top of the range blood testing machine....... for NOTHING. All of my other drugs that i get for any illness i may have are also free because being Diabetic i am EXEMPT from paying for ANY drugs.
Now don't you feel a bit Stupid?????????

I think everyone knows UHC is not free, just that it allows for it to be the least expensive. Our current system does not allow that.

I use to hold onto the checks and wonder when the letter would come that they made a mistake. After a year and no letter I started depositing them in a separate account that I do not touch.
Have you tried calling them Sounds to me like your trying to pull a fast one over on Uncle Sam

There are sane Republicans out there - not just covered
on the news that much. They choose to highlight the extreme right wing types.
