    First class? HAH!

    Granted, my anecdote is more than 20 years old, but a simple blood test almost put me out because the intern taking my blood had to try 5 times, in two veins, just to get the few ml she needed, after exploding the first vein

      That can happen in privately run care, too. The point was more that a then-leading conservative admitted he doesn’t actually believe that socialized health care can be of good quality, but the common people just don’t deserve to have access to it.

        Like I said… anecdotal. I’ve never had that problem with any other blood draw, ever.

        When I was enlisted, the care sucked

          When my daughter was an infant she needed a blood draw, I forget why, but the three people working in the hospital had no idea how to draw blood from an infant. They were trying to do it like you would an adult… and failing. Finally I told them to stop and went and found an older nurse. She came in, pricked her heel and all was done.

          Mistakes can happen anywhere.
