Omg is it really 1k for the tax? How the fuck can they do that? It makes no sense to tax someone for not buying something? I thought only products and services bought could be taxed. Will not buying gas and other products and services be taxed as well?

@eric5335 America is spending three times as much per capita on healthcare than most nations that have government sponsored/ subsidised/ run healthcare, despite the fact that not everybody has health insurance. That means that people who are ACTUALLY getting health care are spending far more than three times. With this much being spent, one would expect far MORE in the sphere of medical breakthroughs than what they are achieving at the moment,but they are spending more on advertising instead.

@dangerouslytalented But where are the best results coming from?
And I hope you have watched the videos.

@eric5335 ... like I said, all over the place. Medical research is taking place all over the planet.

@dangerouslytalented So what about the artificial heart?

@eric5335 Medical achievements are coming from ALL OVER THE PLACE. America, Japan, Europe, even here in Australia, we came up with the bionic ear.Did you know that in America they spend more on LOBBYING AND more on advertising and PR than they do on actual research?

@eric5335 The medical advertisements are coming from there, because that is the most lucrative market.

@dangerouslytalented No I have not lived in the US. But have you noticed where most of the medical advancements come from?
And have you watched the two videos yet?

@eric5335 I know what it is like living in Australia and the UK, under two different systems of government run healthcare. Have you lived in the US?
For the American people, getting the truth is nearly impossible. It's either utopian garbage from the left or fear mongering and 'death panels' from the right.
I'm sick of propaganda like this!
