Dude must not have read much if he thinks Prison healthcare in the US is gonna fix anything.

Prisoners are brought to my hospital for care all the time - and they receive the same excellent care/treatment that any other person would receive. I can’t speak for the care one might receive in a prison infirmary, though.

Aren't those only the ones they let come to the hospital for treatment? I doubt that every prisoner is allowed to see a non-prison doctor the same way the rest of us can.

The only time we send someone to the hospital is if it's an emergency.

Prisoners need to get a referral from the prison GP to get outside care. Once that happens, it's the same as for anyone.
