All you had to do was name the country and the disorder.
You can’t because it was a lie.
You can make all the excuses you like to not name a country and a disorder, but it doesn’t make it any less of a lie.

Like I said I. This is a bullying tactic. Your intent is to be obnoxious so you can feel like you won. Its not a lie. You know its not a lie. And you know me naming a country proves nothing. Its just an attempt to get someone to “submit” to your demands so you can feel in control. You know I could say it’s Cron’s in Andorra, or ALS in Latvia, or a brain tumor in Finland. If you believe I’m lying why wouldn’t I say one of those lies? Its because you know I’m not, you just want to get me to “submit”.
Believe what you want, but you are a bully. I shared my own experience, and you seized that opportunity to be hostile and try to exert control over me through personal attacks on my character.

Sorry, insulting me will not make your lie true.
As for why you’re lying? Probably because if you had named an actual country and an actual disorder, I could look it up and find out how much, if anything, it costs to treat in that country vs. the U.S. (including travel costs and hotel while you’re staying there). And your whole point was that, supposedly, people have to come to the U.S. for treatment since they can’t afford it in their country with universal healthcare.

I’m not insulting you. I am describing the effect you are having on me. You are victimizing me through you’re bullying.
You accused me of lying. That is insulting me.
I said a long time ago I don’t know the name of the condition.
She doesn’t stay in a hotel she stays with her daughter’s family.
I never said she can’t afford it, she can. The treatment is not provided to her. And the treatment that is provided is low quality.
So what does it mean since its the truth? That your hatred and mistrust of others who were just trying to have a calm discussion is misplaced?
Again not a lie. Actually, please, search my whole profile. Find somewhere that I have lied.

Sorry, accusing someone of lying is not an insult if they’re lying, which they are.
Then you have no idea if they could have gotten treated in their home country or how much it would cost, despite claiming this was an argument in favor of a for-profit medical system, making what you said… a lie.
Making her a major outlier, which would, again, make your argument that there is a benefit to a for-profit medical system… a lie.
And this in itself is a lie. You don’t know what’s wrong with her so you could not possibly know about the quality of treatment.
It isn’t.
I already did. See above.
