@xposingfalsehoods yeh ok so you're gonna crawl into a ball and cry for your mama?? just what i thought. i'll say it again. ONLY BIG FUKKIN NAZI ASS STATES DON'T HAVE PUBLIC HEALTHCARE. any time you have an example to refute my claim you bring it you right wing brainwashed salmon

[xposingfalsehoods]

@fuzzjunky i can tell you went to being a D#ck high school, so i really wont waste my time with a debate with you. its obvious that your just a waste of time. learn how to speak with respect then we can talk

[fuzzjunky]

@xposingfalsehoods dude if you can't understand what i said then you are a perfect example of how the american government has dumbed down it's population so much that it doesn't even notice the big cock going in it's ass. i'll try say it again. NO FIRST WORLD COUNTRY IN THE WORLD DOESN'T HAVE PUBLIC HEALTH. can you name one example to the contrary or are u gonna stick with "i'm not very bright can u speak a little slower?"

[xposingfalsehoods]

@fuzzjunky lol i have no clue what you just said. lots of ranting but nothing that mad actual sense. anything thats a free service will cost the tax payers and take rights away from physicians.

[JagjeetMann]

occupy has made the 99% declaration- (stop corporate finance in politics and tax increases on the rich), etc, but i would add free health care, free college education, reform of education to improve and promote scientific and critical thinking, cutting down military and perhaps even democractic worker's control of production in some areas such as worker co-ops and more public infrastructure spending. Lets hope they add those things lest another movement with so much potential go to waste

@geffel I'd say the exact opposite, health care should especially be for profit, once you introduce the profit motive money would flood into health care, you'd have more hospitals, more beds, better technology and better care, the free market pushes prices down, governments create monopolies through regulations.

I'd recommend people read the book "lives at risk" by John C. Goodman, Gerald L. Musgrave and Devon M. Herrick, it comprehensively destroys the myths of single payer health care systems

[geffel]

@HuxleyWasRight

Compared to what though? The French system is rated the number one health care system in the world and that's a nationalised system.

Would you really rather pay much more money out of your salary for private insurance and then have to pay through the nose for hospitalisation, operations etc?

I thought not.

@HuxleyWasRight

it's vastly better than the US "system" of for greed health care.

[geffel]

Health care should never be for profit. Ever. End of. And anyone who has read the Hippocratic oath, much less sworn to uphold it, should know that.
