RE: Free Health Care
Oh the Canadian system has flaws, but the only advantage I can see from everything here is that if you have the money, you can raise your standard of care in America. If you don't have the money, ur fucked. To me this is just sick. Have a standard, not many standards.
It really sounds like a lot of "I" thinking instead of we thinking... Sure it sounds great that you can BUY whatever you THINK you need, BUT what about the poor sucker who can't? Or the person who actually NEEDS instead of THINKING they need? Too bad for them? No empathy at all? Just a nation of psychopaths?
I think it can seem that way for sure, especially from the outside. When I first heard of Obamacare it sounded ok, I think it met little resistance here because it seemed like the system that had been here for many years, it was only recently I realised it actually made healthcare more expensive for a lot of people.
Maybe with a change in politics, things will have a chance to change for the better.
Obabacare was specifically designed to fail, to "prove" to the populous that "free' healthcare is a failed dream.
They could have made it better, they just didn't want to. If they stopped running around the globe for oil shooting everyone in the way, maybe they could spend a few of those billions on a better healthcare system. Heal some people with that money instead of killing with it.
