Yeah, that would be why most of the ones who are rich from those countries come here to get operations and such for cancer and special medical needs. That would be because they have such good helathcare. You need to stop drinking the kool-aid and learn what you are really talking about.
It will be the generation now entering the workforce who will pay for the years of deficit spending through some mix of higher taxes and reduced access. All of this is made worse by a looming demographic crunch. With the number of French aged 65 and older expected to grow from...

My point? Universal health care is NOT doomed for failure like Anonymous Political Junky would like people to believe. We could learn a lot from the aforementioned countries.
You do realize that being healthy is not all healthcare don't you? No, I didn't think so. [MOD CUT] The food they at and what they drink and so on is what makes a person healthy. Try again, [MOD CUT]

Reason: personal attack
I don't think with your present system universal health care can be done in your country. At least not for a long time....For pete's sake your government can't even balance a budget. I keep hearing about people coming to the US for your wonderful health care...How come I don't know any? Give me a break.
They're referring to these 3rd World Dictators that come over here. This is a source of pride among the right wingers here. That Idi Amin came over for a colon exam and Papa Doc from Haiti had a Doctor in Boca. ..

Oh COME ON! Those are small, homogeneous countries! You can fit THREE Englands in Texas alone! Plus, we've got the Third World at our doorstep and we can't seem to find a way to stop illegal immigration. There is no comparison between our issues and those tiny countries only your list!

Nope. I am talking about Britons, Canadians and tohers that come to this country for the healthcare and for speciality operations. The fact that you don't know about it shows how little you people really.

Nobody here is claiming that any system is perfect or doesn't involve some give and take on aspects of the plan.
Yes taxes will go up, but healthcare costs will go down. Longer waits are likely to occur, but everyone will have care.
You do realize that being healthy is not all healthcare don't you? No, I didn't think so. Simple minded is what you act like. The food they eat and what they drink and so on is what makes a person healthy. Try again, except this time try to think before.
Do you realize that ad hominem attacks do nothing for your side?
Health care is one of the things that aids in how healthy a country will be. It's a neat trend you find when looking at the healthiest countries in the world. You find that all the countries in the top spots have publicly sponsored health care.
