Comments on: Tehran Pulses With Anger Again http://ricksanchez.blogs.cnn.com/2009/07/09/tehran-pulses-with-anger-again/ Wed, 25 Nov 2009 01:26:45 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Ray Evans Harrell http://ricksanchez.blogs.cnn.com/2009/07/09/tehran-pulses-with-anger-again/#comment-25536 Ray Evans Harrell Wed, 05 Aug 2009 20:41:30 +0000 http://ricksanchez.blogs.cnn.com/?p=2171#comment-25536 Sarit Sulkowski makes the same kind of complaint that I've heard from Americans when they get taken care of abroad. I have a friend who was afraid of Italy's healthcare and another who complained about England but my old teacher Dorothy Uris spoke very highly about the care she got in the Soviet Union when got sick on a lecture tour there. Everyone has there own story but that has nothing to do with were we are in the world in healthcare or infant mortality. Or the fact that I get better care at the VA than my wife does on private insurance. Also all of my Canadian students here go home for healthcare. Not a single one has said that they would rather stay here and pay for their care. Evidently Cleveland is good. My sister gets good care their under Kaiser and certain clinics are good around the country but that isn't a system. That is just a local anomaly. Why can't we do better or are we just too inept at systems to do so? If America is what it claims, then we should be better. That's my opinion. Meanwhile God Bless the VA.

I really hope the medical system in the U.S. won't become like the system in Canada. I thank god every day for the Cleveland Clinic, Ohio. The system in Canada is terrible everybody knows that. More people are in chronic care departments because they don't get treated in time. When you have to wait 12 weeks for an MRI and 6 months to see an orthapedic surgeon a lot of things can go wrong in your body and your mind: the initial injury that you had can get worse, rehabilitation time would be much longer and you can go nuts from waiting and even maybe get addicted to pain medication from being in pain for such a long time and then what???? I just watched Rick Sanchez interview a doctor from Toronto and a doctor from the U.S. : the doctor from Toronto said that we have the best doctors in the world???? i don't think so, and even if we do, if i need to wait 6 months to see the best doctor, by the time i see him i don't think he would be able to help. I am 30 years old from a below middle class family and i traveled to the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio for diagnosis because it wasn't available in Canada. I traveled all the way there for an MRI and nerve blocks because i didn't want to be 6 months on a wheelchair not knowing what was wrong and suffering. I didn't have money i took loans. I am very greatful for your medical system. What i think should be done to your health care is: to give free health care to everyone but to also have the option of having private clinics that are monitored by the goverment (same system they have in Europe). PLEASE DONT HAVE THE SAME SYSTEM WE HAVE IN CANADA BECAUSE WHERE WILL US, CANADIANS GO FOR TREATMENTS? To have free healthcare is not always good, it has to be good health care. If you get garbage for free would you take it???? but its freeee. Sarit Sulkowski Toronto,Canada. My name is Sarit Sulkowski and i am from Toronto, Canada.

They got the job because they were white whether qualified or not. I know because I have been there, and it is hard for them to understand or have empthy for those that had to prove that they were worthy of the job.and had to be double qualified to get just a job. When handed everything on a tray it is hard to know any other. The world is made up of people of color so you may as well get use to it. I'd like to see their transcripts from college. Don't be jealous . Those senators that are against the selection of Judge Sotomayor

Rick you could single-handedly be the reporter that makes the world take notice of this issue. Its SO important for this issue to get out, and I hate to throw your own words back at you, but you said last week... "We owe it to them to show these images...." You said that, now please restore my faith in you as my favorite reporter and back it up. I have to agree with a previous commenter, this issue needs more coverage.
