Govt. Health Care, from Ayn Rand's "We the Living"

[mattwarren85]

Hey, you! Do you think Ayn Rand's We the Living is a piece of shit? Well, so do I! I hate that novel so much, I made a Facebook page about it! If you're interested, check out my channel for the link! WE THE LIVING FUCKING SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[givemefroyooooo]

@mattwarren85 why do you think it sucks?

[mattwarren85]

@givemefroyooooo Simply put, it's because of the ending. I hated how poor Kira was shot and killed. That pissed me off. However, I will say this: We the Living did do a good job at showing what life in Russia was like back in the 20s. Other than that, I hated the novel. Hope this answers your question.

@54nomore lol my circle has 4 edges. Try saying something that relates to reality.

This is the free health care system at it's worse... And it's coming to a community near you....Be afraid..be very afraid!.

This is nothing but propaganda. Name me ONE civilized country without a form of socialized medicine--the US already has socialism because if you get in a car accident you automatically get sent to the emergency room without paying.

@Theblizzardking

Ajnd socialism is the problem! Where is the freedom? the free market? non existant cuz fools like u dont want it at all! And you destroy it in every way possible using every form of govt intervention- from social security to absurd taxes to atrocious regulations. And yet you dare to blame free markets for the problems which it has never caused

[trnqlChaos]

@Theblizzardking I don't see how it's propoganda. Ayn Rand lived it. She has commented that she fictionalized the people and story, but the events around them were real as she remembered them. And sorry, the hospital will still send you a bill. If you chose to not pay the bill you are immoral, not the system.

Read this book a few months ago. Profound...eye-opener. Reading Atlas Shrugged now.

Prelude to Obama Care.

Looks like socialized medicine to me.

Good thing that America has a free market which produces the best care for the best cost and... Wait a minute, there is no more free market in America. Socialists have somehow taking over by force, politics and business. Bailouts, subsidizes, price controls, restrictions, mandates... Costs spiraling out of control. Debt skyrocketing to unpayable levels. All funded by the unearned loot of looters. Big surprise, not.

Oh well, who is John Galt?

Call it the after effects of a mixed economy. You could predict the end of the free market in the 20-40 years maybe. Its like when america made the deal with the devil. I would say this happened around the Great Depression. That's when goverment really started to "pitch" in.

@Roannepur

There never was a perfectly free market. It was always an oscillation.

And pure water does not exist. It always has some impurities and is succeptible to contamination by other chemicals. This must mean that water is always an oscillation? Garbage patternist bullshit.

@mustang607

Really? I've actually experienced "socialized medicine" in Europe, it was at a private hospital (hospitals aren't all nationalized contrary to popular belief; in fact I was born in a private hospital in Spain) and it was more pleasant than they'll have you think. Furthermore, there was no hospital bill. Here in the US, my surgeon botched a procedure and I'm still trying to get compensated for it, yet somehow the conservative politicians think the solution is tort reform.
