  • @ricadrew It's not really a political issue. Of course it's better the more people that are guaranteed healthcare, and best if everyone is. 1 person without healthcare is still 1 too many. Being beaten by lousy countries such as Cuba and the like on this issue cant really be your proudest moment. It's not about government, it's about people and their rights. Having the best opportunities to live is our right to have and duty to provide. Seriously, why not everyone?

  • @ricadrew Socialist world? Capitalism is global, thats why its called globalism. I consider myself anarchist though. You know, the government dont provide anything. Everything it does is we paid for ourselves. However, we have max 1 month waiting for surgery, u cant be denied it, theres no fee, its more effective and cheaper on the whole. Shorter lines because less people afford healthcare isnt really a positive thing, is it? We dont live in Pakistan, we're actually able to have heathcare.

  • @MENJAGVETJUINTE The cost of our military though high, is minute compared to the rest of the countries budget.

    But here's the thing the rest of the socialist world can't get their heads around, it doesn't matter what they spend on the military, it has no bearing on our healthcare. The government does not provide us this, we do. Out of our own pocket we take responsibilty for our own needs. We don't like depending on gov for anything! That's what seperates us from the world, individual liberty!

  • @MENJAGVETJUINTE If you go private your taxes are still funding the system, couldn't work any other way, so you're paying twice and don't even realize it.

    And again, we don't wait for surgery. May sometimes for elective surgery, but then that's maybe a week or two tops. People living outside the US just can't grasp that we do not wait with our healthcare. Some big cities people sometimes may have to wait for a few hours and we consider that waiting. And no-body is denied life saving surgery.

  • If u wanna go with private, u dont pay no fee. Just like with everyone else. And we pay less per person for our healthcare than avarage americans. The total healthcare cost is smaller per person, the healthcare is more effective also. If you're waiting for surgery we have a so called "healthcare guarantee" wich guarantees it within a month. A reform that's relatively new since some years back actually. Oh yea, and our military dont cost much, wich means more money for other stuff.

  • @MENJAGVETJUINTE I was thinking of Canada with 30, but 9 makes my point even more. It's the reason why it can work to whatever level in Sweden, with 350, it's a whole different animal. But i've talked to a few others on YT from Sweden and they say the wait could be days, weeks or sometimes months when it comes to surgery. Not that way here, we get it as soon as we need it. How can your H.C. be cheaper? If you want to go with private, you're still paying for gov care. And the peace thing? HUH?

  • Oh yeah, and anyone can choose a doctor. Personally i dont think it matters really who runs the healthcare in itself. Whoever that can guarantee everyone healthcare should be the one running the healthcare system too. It's just not that bad of a system. Every other western country has the same system, just not you guys.

  • @ricadrew Im quite unsure of your facts there. First of all, we're 9 million people, not 30. If you go to a hospital, you may of course have to wait, sometimes for hours of course, but sure you get treatment the same day. But we spend less money on healthcare, just that it goes via taxes. There's no such thing as not affording healthcare. Although we've had peace for like 200 years so i suppose we get more back from our taxes. Even though we pay the fee for European Union, wich aint worth it. =/

  • @MENJAGVETJUINTE For one thing, you have 30 million people, we have 350 mill. The other thing is we can pick whatever we want as well, but without paying the huge tax rate. Unlike you, we never have to wait for any sort of treatment. Even those without insurance get treated at hospitals. They can't choose their doctor and may have to wait for hours, but they will get treatment that day. Why would we want this changed?

  • Cut spending, raise taxes.

    It's the only way to get out of this decade of deficit.
