Our hospital in Anacortes is a public one. It's a bit of a moot point for me, as I've never been hospitalized in my 74 years - just a couple of out-patient visits in the 16 years we've lived here. My wife has been an in-patient a couple of times. We've both been on Medicare for quite some time. We have to pay just under $400 a year for both of us for Medicare Supplemental coverage from a commercial insurer (through AARP).It's not the seamless service you get with the various governmental schemes in Europe and the UK, but at least the equipment is fairly up-to-date and the processes are efficient. When you get an appointment time, it's just yours (with your doctor) - there aren't 50 other people with the same time. It was that "herd" medicine that I disliked so much about the British NHS.
