The 50 most developed countries in the world and Universal Healthcare.

[DOTR]

Below are the 50 most developed countries in the world ranked according to the UN Human Development index which measures development and standard of living through estimates of GDP per capita, life expectancy, and education. There are a total of 197 countries in the world today. 193 of those countries are part of the United Nations. 45 out of the 50 most developed countries in the world below provide UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE for its citizens, essentially medicare for all. The following are the five countries from the list below that do not:

01. Cyprus
02. United Arab Emirates
03. Qatar
04. Bahrain
05. United States

Cyprus is currently In the process of moving to a Universal Healthcare system which will be completed in a few years. That will leave the United States alone with three Arab countries as being the only countries, of the 50 most developed in the world, that do not have Universal HealthCare.

Why does the United States, the wealthiest country in the world and the 3rd wealthiest per captia country, still not provide Universal Healthcare for its citizens? How could anyone say that Universal HealthCare is impossible or too expensive for the United States when nearly all of the 50 most developed countries in the world provide it for its citizens?

That 2000 lbs in one sector alone was not through any checkpoints, and only what they caught. What happened to all the high tech that was supposed to have been deployed with the fence? Oh, that’s right. The virtual wall failed 3 times. Wonder how many billions were wasted there. And yes, those are all part of the plan, along with the wall with sensors, etc.

Over 2000 lbs were caught being brought in through the rgv last week. That is what was caught. Figure what wasn’t.

You guys scream over $5 billion for border security, yet see no problem with this-

Nobody was upset about $5 billion for border security, we just didn't want to waste on a stupid useless wall.

Proven effective in San Diego, walls helped stop vehicle drive-throughs, which were a common smuggling technique in the 1990’s. In this 5th video, Chief Scott explains how walls put an end to this dangerous smuggling method.

A static wall can have some utility. But it can stop people who tunnel under the wall, people who climb over, or people who go through legal ports of entry. Most illegal aliens, and most illegal drugs, 90% in fact, come through legal ports of entry.

More drug sniffing dogs, better inspections, more baggage and vehicle checks. That's what will help, not some stupid wall.

A few other questions you may have an interest in.....
Do other nations steal from their best citizens to pay for tens of millions of illegal third-world wetbacks and their litters of anchor babies?
What are the average income tax rates in those nations you speak of?
Why do so many folks from those nations you speak of travel to the U.S. for healthcare?
How large is their bottom feeding class that contributes nothing and takes the most?

Most of those countries also are also mostly made up of working people of 1 race who don't have MILLIONS of parasites on welfare to care for and people bombarding their borders. I would love to see healthcare for all American's but the lefts idea for that is GOVERNMENT CONTROL of it all and our government is incompetent and corrupt.

America tried its version of Nationalized Healthcare called Obamacare or the ACA.

Program was a total flop. The people kept voting against the atrocity, they don't like being told what to do in this nation.

Border Patrol seizes over 2,000 pounds of marijuana in the Rio Grande Valley in the last three days



Release Date:
February 11, 2019
EDINBURG, Texas – U.S. Border Patrol agents continue to disrupt narcotic smuggling attempts throughout the Rio Grande Valley.

On Saturday, agents working near Fronton, Texas, observed several subjects illegally crossing the Rio Grande with bundles of narcotics. As the agents responded to the area, they observed a green SUV believed to be involved with the smuggling attempt. When agents encountered the smugglers, the illegal border crossers abandoned the marijuana and fled to Mexico. An immediate search of the area resulted in the discovery of 17 bundles of marijuana weighing over 1,100 pounds, worth an estimated $920K. Additionally, agents located the green SUV abandoned in the middle of the river.

In the past three days, agents in the Rio Grande Valley seized over 2,000 pounds of marijuana worth over $1.7M.

I was just reading about the top 7 best universal healthcare systems and I like The Netherlands way of doing it the best.
7 Countries That Show Us How Health Care Should Be Done

 

[fncceo]

Life Expectancy is the most relevant metric that tells the truth about healthcare.
bullshit,you can have the best healthcare there is but if you dont take care of your self what good did it do you?...many Americans have access to great healthcare but dont take great care of themselves....factors for life expectancy has more to do with how you take care of yourself then if you have good healthcare...

Most of the citizens of developed countries have similar lifestyles. Quality of healthcare and access to it is a more important factor when comparing life expectancy among developed countries.

Finally, even if their healthcare is at best equal to ours in quality, at least they provide it to everyone. There is very little evidence to support that Europeans have significantly worse quality healthcare. On average they live longer. Their healthcare quality is either equal too or better than that of the United States. Plus they provide it to all their citizens. They also spend less on healthcare than the United States does.

sure they do thats why i keep seeing things saying we have far more overweight people than other countries....

You'll find that most overweight and obese people tend to be among those in the lower class that have less access to healthcare and less access to low cost quality food. Universal healthcare could solve these problems.

yea sure they are.....you dont get out much do you?....over eating and not exercising is just as prevalent in the middle and upper classes.....

You obviously have not been to many low income areas of the United States. Where you live, your income level all impact whether you have access to healthcare and quality food.

Problem solved...

Actually, if we eliminated ALL military spending, even defensive within our own borders (700 Billion per annum), it wouldn't cover any more than 1/5th of the cost of 'universal' healthcare over 10 years.

Who needs facts when you can just pull numbers out of your tuchas?

 

[Thinker101]

How many people would quit their shit job tomorrow if it would not cost them and their family insurance? A curious kind of wage slavery exists in America where we accept all sorts of bad behavior by management because they know what it would cost us to stand up and have some pride. Similarly businesses are burdened with the expense of offering insurance instead of decent wages. In short our system is a drag on capitalism.

Oh, I don't know, all the people that didn't want food on their table...dumbass.

 

[Dragonlady]

“Why does the United States, the wealthiest country in the world and the 3rd wealthiest per captia country, still not provide Universal Healthcare for its citizens?”

Because conservatives have successfully propagated the lie that in addition to being ‘too expensive,’ providing all Americans access to affordable healthcare will ‘destroy capitalism’ and make America ‘socialist’ – when in fact nothing could be further from the truth.

Can I add, that universal health care if the most freeing aspect of our culture, both fiscally, and socially. I'm having a knee replacement because arthritis has destroyed all of the cartilege in my knee. The average cost of a total knee replacement in the USA is $49,400.00. I could scrape together the 20% medicare co-pay, if I had to I guess, but at my current level of income it would take me three years to replace those savings. But then I'd have no liquidity at all. Any emergency, health or otherwise, would put me in a financially difficult position.

But fortunately, in Canada, I won't be getting a bill from either my surgeon or the hospital, unless I opt for a private room, or rent a TV. I have an annual co-pay of $100 on all of my prescriptions. Once I pay $100, my prescriptions cost me $2 each.

 

[U2Edge]

If Medicare were unconstitutional, we would not have it. We do though. Other people, especially those in the three branches of government have different interpretations of the constitution than you do.

If you believe thst any of the three branches of the US Government have the faintest interest in following the US Constitution, you’re a fool of the highest order.

Being a politician or political appointee doesn’t give you any special insight into the Constitution. In fact I find it makes them more likely to ignore it.

The vast majority of the US Government is unconstitutional and illegitimate as well as immoral in this day and age.

Lastly, a Federal Healthcare plan means my death, as I cannot in good conscience take such improper monies or benefits from the Government.

Well, ISIS, Al Quada, and Iran also think that the vast majority of the US government is illegitimate and immoral. Most Americans don't.

Universal Healthcare is a standard in modern developed society. The United States is way behind on this, but I'm starting to feel confident it will finally catch up. Its an embarrassment to the extreme that the wealthiest country in the world does not provide its citizens Universal Healthcare when 90% of the top 50 most developed countries in the world do.

I think the United States can do better than countries like Bulgaria, Qatar, and U.A.E. when it comes to providing Healthcare. But right now, those countries are the United States peers in terms of providing healthcare for its citizens. Great company, eh?

Seems like you have a lot of places to choose from. Why not try Argentina or Greece?

In this country things are done in a smarter way. Your plan is to be on the list right after Argentina - and we know what success that place is.

Uh, the United States is on the above list. Its just so happens that is one of only five countries on that list that is not providing its citizens with Universal Healthcare. This list is the 50 most developed nations in the world. The United States is high on the list at #13.

 

[U2Edge]

And he completely ignores the cost are prohibitive and he doesn’t realize the age thing just dropped since Obamacare came into effect, with its take a pill and go home to die philosophy.

But the United States is in the top 50 of the most developed nations in the World. In fact its at #13 in the world. Yes, high per capita GDP, 13th in the world in fact. Strong on education. Much weaker when it comes to life expectancy since it ranks at #34.

The point of this thread is that despite the United States high wealth and high rankings, It is one of only FIVE top 50 developed countries to not provide Universal Healthcare for its citizens. That is a major failure for a country that is so wealthy and developed.

Non-sequitur....There are lots of reasons for lower life expectancy that don't involve a State-run medical care monopoly.

Is there a logical fallacy that you couldn't invoke today?

If the cost are so prohibitive, how are 45 of the 50 most developed countries in the world providing Universal Healthcare for their citizens?

 

[Rustic]

It’s fine if you want your socialized medicine/healthcare... Millions of Americans want no such thing so why force it on people that want nothing to do with it?
