So, what, before 911 services were available, people died?
Is that what you think?
Yes. We didn't add 911 service because it was unnecessary. We added it because it made sense to do so, just as many many other countries did. I am surprised you have to ask this.
The "private insurance" discussion? Many do not allow it. Canada for example-theres no private insurance whatsoever. It does exist in Britain however. And it simply allows you to jump the line basically. And its very rare. research it some, you might be surprised.
Medicare premiums are tiny (~100 $ a month) compared to the benefits Medicare receiptents on average receive in a lifetime which average over 300,000$. It would take 258 years for the average person to pay enough premiums to cover their Medicare expenses. Most Americans are under the illusion they prepaid for Medicare. They only paid on average about 100,000$ and virtually all of that covered the costs of the Greatest Generation and the Silent Generation.
ObamaCare is collapsing before our very eyes. That gives the American people hope here, but there's still a ways to go. Expansion of the free market system would offer better choices. I'm not believing anyone who says they "had a good experience with the Feds". Too much red tape.
You are probably better off. If I were you I would start learning about diet and herbs and using sites like this one. HerbalLegacy.com which has many of Dr. John R Christopher's formulas he used during his career as a Naturopathic Doctor and Master herbalist and before that as the only medic in the Army authorized to use herbs on sick and injured soldiers because of the wonderful results he would get using them.
Lol, the gubment has its sights on supplements, too. And Big Pharma is laughing.
Good. Look at OECD countries, the "developed" countries held up as the example to follow in this thread, and particularly the Scandinavian countries (Bernie Sanders' favorite model):
And as to tax rates, here's a comparison to Scandinavian countries, and European countries are similar. High tax rates apply to the middle class, not just higher income earners:
“‘is not something that everybody is completely satisfied with or complacent about.’ About half of Canadians say they would like the option to buy a private health insurance plan. Currently, that’s not allowed.”
Private health insurance plans are prohibited from duplicating coverage for health services provided in Canada which are insured under the Canada Health Act.
So not wrong. you literally cannot choose private insurance to cover things already covered. This is unlike Britain where you can get private insurance in order to jump lines basically.
