Let's face it. We can't have national health care because it would be an utter failure. We have no idea how to run it, nor could we. We just don't have what it takes to make it work. Canada, Japan, Germany, Britain and France. They have it. And you know what happened to their societies, right? Complete and uttter chaos. Anarchy. War in the streets. The gibbering maniacal mumblings of crazed social welfare victims litters the air.
But America, we got it covered. We have some of the most advanced care in the world. If you can get into the system, that is. Otherwise, you're dead. Or you might wish you were dead. So, here's to America. The land where we don't need that national health care crap, because, hey, we're better than that. Our system is much better than anyone else's, and so cheap, too.
People will tell you, "OH!! But it's rationed!" "THAT SUCKS!!!! MAN!!!!" Yeah, it is rationed. Yeah, and sometimes, there ain't enough to go around so everyone can get everything they ever want - or need. But you do get some. Everybodygetssome. You don't get turned away. "Plan? What plan? Oh sorry, we don't service you, go across town." Imagine never having to hear that, again.
I got two brothers. Imagine you do, too. Now imagine your mom brings home a giant Snickers bar. (P.S., you Love Snickers Bars) She puts the bar on the table and goes to make dinner and says, " I put a candy bar on the table."
A. Your older brother pops you and your middle brother on the head and says "MY candy bar!" and shovels it into his gaping maw.
B. Your middle brother and older brother laugh and point at you while they share the candy bar.
C. Your mom realizing that kids can be selfish and mean, and that your older brothers are far bigger than you and that you might not have a shot at the candy bar, wisely breaks it into thirds, and watches while you eat it....to make sure your older brother doesn't beat the crap out of you and take your candy bar. (Why, yes, this is a true story.)
Did we all get a candy bar? Do you care? THIS SNICKERS IS DELICIOUS. You got some of it vs. none at all.
Almost 51 million people in one of the best countries on the planet don't have health insurance. People will say, "OH! But they have emergency rooms." Yes, yes they do. An unfunded legacy of a dead man. But it's there. Like a dead animal. I wonder if anyone who says that has ever actually had to USE an emergency room for something that wasn't an emergency..... "The doctor will see you now." "Hi doc, I need some Viagra." "Excuse me?" "Viagra, you know, i need some pep!" "Riiiighhhht...let me point you towards a general practicioner." "BUT I DON'T HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE!!!! HELP ME DOC!! MR. HAPPY CRIES FOR AID!!!"
Of course, that's a joke, but saying emergency rooms as health insurance is fine and dandy for ~1/6th of the United States population is a joke, too.
BUT 70FORD!!!! They're POOR!!!! and probably illegals!!!!! and they don't have jobs!!!!s they are SCUM!!!!!
When you lose your job, we have a neat insurance plan in the United States which the federal government forces companies to offer, called COBRA. If they didn't force them, you'd probalby just be screwed if you had a pre-existing condition. Typical coverage for a 4 person family with COBRA runs ~$1100 a month.
Think about this. 9 percent (I know some will say it's higher, and actually, it hits even harder if they do...) of the U.S. working population is out of a job. Nine percent.... of people that want a job, and can't find one. There are 310,000,000 people in the United states - estimated.
Of those 9 percent of people who are unemployed, how many people do you think have enough savings to last while drawing a crummy unemployment check and paying $1100 for health insurance monthly?
NOT!!!! MY !!!! PROBLEM!!!!! FORD!!!! They DESERVE PAIN!!!!!! THEY DIDN'T SAVE!!!! I AM ANT!!!! THEY ARE GRASSHOPPER!!!!
The homemaker, a newly divorced 21 year old mother of an unborn child, deserves pain.
The 44 year old dad, with a house and a boat and a tear in his eye, because he just got laid off after 15 years and his wife is battling leukemia, deserves pain.
The janitor down the hall, who came to America with hope in his heart, worked for 12 years, saving every dollar he got, while smiling and saying hello to you every day in his broken English... just lost his job....and then found out he needs bypass surgery....deserves pain.
No health care for you, dumbasses. You can't afford it! AHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

Couldn't rep you again because I already did for that stand-up video you posted a link to, but
""Fascism is a system in which the government leaves nominal ownership of the means of production in the hands of private individuals but exercises control by means of regulatory legislation and reaps most of the profit by means of heavy taxation. In effect, fascism is simply a more subtle form of government ownership than is socialism."" Mussolini

"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."

"A Marxist begins with his prime truth that all evils are caused by the exploitation of the proletariat by the capitalists. From this he logically proceeds to the revolution to end capitalism, then into the third stage of reorganization into a new social order of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and finally the last stage -- the political paradise of communism."
