Lol I live in Europe already. I know it's an uphill battle to convince Americans that the world wouldn't end if they would take profit out of healthcare, that was after all my original response. I will just leave you with this tough. If Obamacare sucked so bad why, when offered the opportunity, wasn't congress capable of getting rid of it, or suggest anything better? It seems to me that you don't like something but are incapable of improving on it.Europe not to mention almost all major industrialized nations have had socialized healthcare for 50 plus years. Very few of those have experienced problems related to the ones in Venezuela. On the other hand the ENTIRE world went into a recession because American banks ( read Capitalism) were very lacks in the extension of credits causing a giant bubble to burst in 2008. By the way, here you are invoking another right wing straw man, invoking Venezuela as a failure of Socialism . I bet that you don't even know what went wrong in Venezuela.Government controls the military, justice, pensions, infrastructure (mostly), etc. We just expanded it to health since we deem that critical to a prosperous society. So I don't see why you keep throwing the term "socialist" around like it's some kind of dirty word that makes you win an argument by invoking it. I replied because the view that people on the left have on European style health care is to simplistic. On the other hand the rights objections to socialized healthcare seems to be based on an irrational fear of anything that has the word "social" in it.Government control is Socialist
Goverment control...they start with oh say healthcare then move onto other areas next thing you know its Venzuela
Well if you like Socialism so much head on over to Europe. I don't and won't. I've seen first hand government interventon in healthcare with Obunglescare.....fuck that shit
You're going to have an uphill battle convincing any conservative to embrace socialist healthcare ...or socialist anything. Save the "but the military is socialism" shit.
The shit stain that could have helped get that done just croaked...good riddance to bad rubbish
A little story, just recently one of our children suffered a head injury, got knocked in the noodle in gymnastics and spent five days in the hospital. She's fine now and had excellent care. Her bill was just under 33K with all the tests, ambulance, etc. Our part was a $500 deductible, that was it, nothing else. some of her medications were very expensive and we pay a 10 dollar deductible per prescription
Now why would I ever want to screw that up?
