Socialized medicine does not work...

[Eloy]

It can't work, because the deadbeats will always abuse the system every time…

You are mistaken.
Where I live we have socialized medical care. I had the misfortune a few years ago of having a heart attack. I telephoned for an ambulance which arrived at my home in 4 minutes. I was taken to a hospital and arrived in 20 minutes.
Ten minutes later I was in theater having an operation to insert three stents and within an hour of my phone call I was recovering in a ward.
Cost: not one cent

Last month I had a tooth filling repaired the day after I made the appointment.
Cost: not one cent

It is good not to have the extra worry of bills when we fall ill.

and you capitalists pricks will deny before three times the cock crows. Maxum erit stridor dentium.

 

[2aguy]

Your a capitalist. Already proven to be predatory by nature....commoditizing everything...even life itself for profit and now you go against all of what you believe to give the poor a better life?......fuuuuuuuuuck yooooooou. What a crock of shit. Give me socialised health care now. Fuck your profits. I could not care less about your profits.

Then you will die waiting in an ER room moron........good luck...

Lol,thats another colossal crock of shit too.

Yeah......keep lying to yourself...socialized medicine only works for the young and healthy, the ones who don't need it...for the actual sick and old......don't count on it....and all of those systems are failing.....they can't keep up with the demand...and if they actually have to start paying for their own country's military defense.....then they are going to collapse far faster....

No, those systems are not failing you lying piece of shit. You better go tell that propaganda to some young kid blue collar worker that you have also convinced that unions are bad for them.

It isn't me saying it asswipe.....it is the actual countries themselves and the people who are using those systems......but keep denying it....

 

[Windship]

You people are like the Titanic, headed for the iceberg, full speed. Lol, and even THAT was an insurance job.

Ok, cocksucker, you want to quote...wheres your fucking links?

 

[Windship]

now go ahead and send a heritage foundation link...lol...or citizens united...rotf

 

[Windship]

I want to elaborate further but the stupidity exhibited here gives me pause....get this: fuck......your......profit. Ok? Go tell those lies to some poor, blue collar republican in a right to work state with no union.

 

[Windship]

rustic, Ive got some figures on employee owned companies from around the world dude....wanna see? No, you dont.

 

[Silhouette]

What the OP and his cheerleaders on the right are trying to say is that healthcare should only be available at market prices to those who can afford to pay for it out of their own pocket.

And don't forget....when you pay a for-profit insurance company, they have accountants who have crunched the numbers on you as you age. Have fun trusting your "good care" to those folks after all those years paying in... If you like to fail Darwin's test that is.

Oh, and a plus is, there's no....ZERO public oversight in private healthcare. The only check on those outfits right now is lawsuits against huge insurance or pharma companies. And we know how those go, don't we? It's not like their 24/7 team of superlawyers are going to win against Jane or John Doe's little "I'll take it on contingency" backwater lawyer...

Health care denied to the needy is not the American way.

That's fine if you want that, I have no desire to live that way I pay for my own shit and don't expect for anyone else to pay for it.

 

[Rustic]

I rather die than live on the dole...

 

[there4eyeM]

Anyone who believes that the level of health care in America is among the best has to wonder why the delivery of that care is not among the best. When people suffer because they exist for the benefit of a system, the system is wrong.

What does the term 'brotherhood' mean in our American myth?

All citizens pay for health care through taxation.
This way, medical attention depends on individual need not the wealth of individuals.

It works for me, here in Canada, or more specifically, in Manitoba.

I had no problem to find a family doctor when we moved here. I never had any trouble getting an appointment with him. I never had to wait at a lab, for a blood test, x-ray or for an MRI. I had no problem going to a specialist, when referred to one by my family doctor. I pay for my prescription, which is quite a bit less in Canada than - as I hear - would be in the States. If my income would be less I would qualify for them, having reached deductible.

I am 78 years old,with the accompanying aches and pains, yet I never suffered from lack of medical attention.

Mind you, I never go to see a doctor with a sniffle, a hangnail or paper cut.

Responsibly used, socialized medicine is not the ultimate evil described by the rabid right. Basically it is much like American Medicare with qualifying age at birth, rather than 65.

According to most Americans Medicare is OK. So, what's the problem?

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

People should take care of their own shit, and not depend on the federal government because it gives the federal government power and the federal government is all about control.

not really. I want my tax dollars to go on health. It is my insurance policy. My wife had an ankle problem. She could get it done privately for $10,000 or go on a public waiting list for 9 months. She went on the waiting list. Do I feel guilty? Nope, those public hospitals are paid for by my tax dollars. That is my insurance policy right there.

How did your wife feel about waiting 9 months when in the US in could have been done in a few days?

Medicare is going broke. Moreover, many doctors are refusing Medicare.
Moreover, hospitals cost shift from Medicare to Private patients.

Yes, I'm sure people like medicare, when they are not paying the bill.

The problem is, the system is failing. They are running out of other people's money to spend.

Now, it's great that your personal experience with Canadian health care is good. I'm all for the best for everyone.

Nevertheless, looking at it overall... not so great. Even left-wing news outlets are complaining about how bad Canadian health care is.

Canadian Wait Times: While Politicians Dither, Patients Die

You may not know this, but in 2009, a Canadian doctor came to the US, and argued before our Congress, not to adopt a system like the Canadian one, because he was sending patients to the US for care. If our system got as bad as theirs, where would he send his patients?

So, again, all glad your experience was good. Most Canadians are not haven't that good experience.
