a funny man once said

england has a much higher life expectancy than america the only time it is lower is when we are involved in joint military maneouvers.
also here's a fucking retarded thing from america

an american newspaper once said

had stephen hawking been british he'd have died by now if hed had been at the hands of the nhs

funny because he is british and he has said he owed his life to the NHS

in america what would happen to a baby boy with his condition if his parents were poor

Q: Why did the American Gentile Troops ever stop 1944 Adolf Hitler? This is completely baffling to the Joseywalesful.

Tax credit for health insurance, but you will have to claim employer provided benefits as income ? Golly ! Sounds as good to me as taking my 401K money and investing in housing !

Again, MONEY is the issue with health, Do you choose to get cancer, paying 100,000 dollars for good full treatment, a disgrase, unhumain, the riched country in the world. How it must feel to be denied care, pills that cost cents to produce sold for 100;s, insurance private profit visioned system. As glad to live in Europe, I wait longer sometimes n might not get the best without private costly care but humanity, Christianity, empathy make it worth it.

NO RELIGION IN THE WORLD CAN JUSTIFY THAT AN AMERICAN GENTILE MUST PAY FOR AN APOSTATE JEW'S SEX-CHANGE-OR-DIE-OFF (Thomas Friedman PSK) OPERATION. THIS IS WHY THE UNITED STATES HAS A CONSTITUTION APOSTATE JEWS. IF JEW DON'T APPROVE THEN GO BACK TO THE CONCENTRATION CAMP BOXCAR RAILROAD.

I am an accomplished trial attorney. I AM UNABLE TO GET MY OWN HEALTH INSURANCE. Period. End of Story. I am not disabled. I had to spend a fortune on medical bills. I had to close my lucrative law practice. I want to reopen my law practice in Coeur d Alene, Idaho or Spokane, Washington. I AM WILLING TO MARRY A GREAT LADY TO GET HEALTH INSURANCE. Richard

Brother, come to Europe, maybe England or France, find an OK job, see a doctor, lie a little about your knowledge of your condition, get care n dont go back in a hurry, this is one thing that we could not profit from, human suffering with profits is the worst thing about the US, so sad, so sad, n once ur better give a little back with your high skill proffesion to us, solidarity brother, dont wait, even Cuba is an option, take a indirect flight, in Havana see the good doctors n be at peace.

It cost about 5 US dollars plus taxes from other people. So I suppose you should be thanking your hard working neighbors around you, rather than the government. And as far as the being treated fast thing -- I suppose that depends on your age. You should feel pretty fortunate.

Most of us do feel very fortunate when we don't have to pay to much. If you really want to know more about the reform and what The Oboma's see it to be like in the future. You have to look at the state of Virginia' s Caroline Family Practice primary care system. Here is a look at it-'The First Lady Visits Caroline Family Practice.' It has been around since the early '70's.
Insurance companies stand to lose 100 MIL a year. They are spending 1.5 million a DAY to tell us we don't need this.
