you're pulling this broad stroked generalization out of thin air, as I'm sure you will be doing in the rest of this post. This is flat out FALSE.


but at least we're not being taxed 50% or more unlike other Socialized governments where yes, everyone has medical care, but it takes forever to see a doctor.
This is another completely unfounded generalization that capitalists love to claim, you have NO CLUE how the healthcare system actually works in places like canada. Germany spends about 1/5th of what america spends on health care and yes EVERYONE gets covered.

I have canadian friends that travel into the United States to recieve healthcare.
I'm sure you do.


Now if we're talking about pharmaceutical companies then I would have to agree. They are overpriced and seem to find new ways to undermine the American people to steal their money.
and they only exist because we have our wonderful flawless insurance companies to pay for the over priced unsafe drugs


I find it funny how many people talk so much crap about America and the Social programs or lack there of that we have; yet when someone needs military help they welcome us with open arms.. then proceed to continue to talk crap when it's over.
uh reality check dude, when's the last time someone actually wanted us in their country and we came to their rescue? I do believe africa is still swimming in genocide.


I am not a fan of socialized services. I don't believe I should be punished for someone elses inability to get health insurance

I work for a small struggling company that pays me half what I could get anywhere else in the industry I work in. They cant afford to pay me what based on my skills and experience, and I cant afford private insurance. I guess I just deserve to suffer.


I believe we even have a state funded program in addition to that. They are not the best but to be honest I bet they're at least on par with other socialized forms of healthcare in other countries.
dude. NO WE DONT. I Live in texas.


If everyone is equal then who get's to ever see a doctor.. and if everyone is getting this service free of charge then who is paying for it?
sick people. this part still works the same. healthcare budget. You know there are a lot of "public" positions in america that aren't paid for by "consumers" but rather citizens.


We actually have alot of programs here in America; most of which we've made sure my brother has gotten or is eligible for. I feel most of the complaint of the American people is out of laziness.
yeah because people who are sick and in need of medical attention but cant afford it are just lazy parasites. I know.


Sorry that we don't hand out services, we do require some effort on the people's part which I feel deters alot of people who don't truely need it and are capable of providing for themselves.
I'm really at a loss that there are people out there who still think this way.
