The U.S. Health Care System is Compromised! Just over the last 10 years its been on a STEEP DECLINE. I know people see it. But its gotten so bad I think US hard working Americans that actually work to support ourselves and our families are WAY OUTNUMBERED by those Depending on FREE Government health care and welfare. I have lived in numerous states and places and Sad but True my state of birth TEXAS ( I think) is the WORST on the list of declining healthcare. The Health care US Hard working Americans pay for have to nickel and dime every visit, treatment, prescription, ect. But for the MOST that are LIVING ( noticed I said LIVING) on the Governtment welfare and health care systems don't see, hear, or actually even CARE because THEY DONT PAY FOR IT. The once great Medical field was actually for helping people. NOW you are a number the second you walk into the doors to a Doctor office or Hospital. Insurance companies make it hard for Drs., Tests, prescription, or hospitals to make a KILLING on seeing us AMERICANS that work and pay for our own health insurance. BUT the majority of the rest that LIVE ON THE GOVERNMENT don't care what it costs and 9 times out of 10 don't even look at the bill. THIS is were the "GREAT" Medical field rubs their greedy hands together and hear CHA-CHING. Because you think the people LIVING on the government know, OR CARE what tests or prescriptions are really necessary? NO THEY DONT CARE! This is were the "Great" Medical field capitalizes! They can charge whatever they want, whenever they want, or maybe for things they NEVER DID. Whatever the HUGE ASTRONOMICAL number of people LIVING ON THE GOVERNMENT, you think some Government agency is ACTUALLY Auditing ALL THESE CHARGERS??????!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOO They are whipping a signature on it and approving it. You know why? Because US as the hard working American PAYS 110 % of it. So next time you see those individuals climbing out a brand new Tahoe with paper plates, New IPhone 6 on their head, But a FOOD STAMP CARD in their hand at check out. more

Haven't had any dealings with the hospital, but the ER left so much to be desired, and everyone we've talked to echoes that sentiment. We had a very nice check-in, once we got in, but that's about the extent of it. It took two hours to get our 2-year old in to see a doctor, only to be told (in aboout a minute's time) it was nothing to worry about, for which our insurance was billed over $600. Thank goodness we had insurance. No procedures were done, and the only Rx written was for something we could buy over the counter at Wal-Mart. If there was anything positive about the experience, it was the nurse at check-in. I highly recommend spending the few extra minutes drive to Corpus, if you can! more

I went in with chest pain and tachacardia. I waited for hours in the Emergency Room. Finally I left and went to another hospital where I was rushed into a room and had an immediate EKG. more
