Mayo, just because we have these views on the government doesn't mean we were fed with a silver spoon growing up. I've told my story before and it wasn't one of extravagance and wealth.

That is VERY VERY insulting...

It's "Life Liberty and the PURSUIT of happiness(property)" not "Life Liberty and OPM"

My question is, whats so wrong with government run healthcare? It seems to work well with medicare.
And in Canada.
And in Britain.
And in France.
And in Germany.
And even in some degree in Cuba, but they dont count cause they're commies, right?


Do me a favor - Tell me the benefits of Medicare and how it works. Then, tell me the cost of Medicare relative to the percentage of people it covers. Tell me if Medicare is sustainable and what impacts Medicare/Government have on its recipients and communities when it doesn't get the appropriate funding, resulting in payout cuts.

Also, I'd like to know on what grounds you say the health care systems in other countries are better; WHO? When you're done with that, could you list how much health care in those countries costs (annually) and also list their total taxation rates relative to our own for someone who is making... eh, about $50,000(USD)/Annually. Go ahead and cite mortality rates, quality of life, ER wait times and whatever else helps prove your point.

Why? I don't wanna compile the numbers myself...

Partly joking =p and i am also equally lazy and dont want to find the numbers.

But i still think that the american system is a POS and a government run system is a much better alternative, despite increased cost/taxes. Costs would also lower since you dont pay X for an insurance company that will try to fuck you over. Also, being non-profit, the government run system isnt looking to make anything, and i would think that it would lead to better care.

You could also lesson your military spending as has been said before.
