Think about this. The US spends 20% of its GDP on healthcare. The rest of the first world spends about 8% of its GDP on healthcare. The US spends 3.5% of its GDP on the military. Do the math; 20-8 = 12%. Now calculate how many aircraft carriers, guns, and awesome stuff you could have if you fixed healthcare. The American healthcare system is massively hurting the things you value.
Oh thank goodness someone with common sense. Please stay, we need you on this thread and forum!!!
I cannot comment on what you said because it is anecdotal.
Rand Paul chose to go to Canada to get his hernia surgery done there rather than in the United States, because he could get it done better there. And you are conveniently ignoring that there is a huge medical tourism industry catering to people who can't afford the price of healthcare in the U.S. and so seek it in other countries. That option doesn't help, however, for those too poor, or are otherwise unable, to travel
They haven't been lied to, except by people like you. I know by my personal experience with the healthcare system here. There wouldn't be so much of a popular uprising for Medicare-For-All if a lot of other people weren't suffering from insufficient access to healthcare too. And that uprising for Medicare-For-All would be even larger than it already is if there wasn't so much use of scare tactics put forward by the greedy establishment politicians who get paid big bucks to protect the rapacious practices of private insurance companies.
Ooooh the anger of a loser living in a little flat, telling me how I cannot have my money, my speech, or my gun.
Total spending; US spends 20% of its GDP -- other countries spend 8% of their GDP. Government spending though? The US is still super high; the US has more government spending on healthcare per person than any country in the world except Norway.
Private insurance companies were the most benefited by Obamacare. That law, a Democrat product, forced every member of society to be an involuntary customer. THAT is what fascism looks like.
Wait, top 20 law school (nothing to brag about ).
Because it's proven that if delivered in the right manner, a bullet given from a gun can make bad people go away
I don't think we are talking about the same thing sir.
What you just wrote was a word-salad. Not worth responding to.
You can take an alternative route and head down to Michoacan and get it over with...
One of the most childish and just outright stupid post ive seen on sherdog. If u have no idea about healthcare in other nations keep your mouth closed kid. You sound like a complete fool on the matter, really living up to that muricas are dunmies and have no clue about the outside world stereotype
No. It isn't a separate issue. The rich are waging class warfare against everyone else. They pay the politicians to pass laws that benefit them (the rich) at the expense of everyone else, so that the government serves them pretty much exclusively, and the wealth disparity grows ever larger. More and more people become "free" only to try to make ends meet by long and poorly recompensed hours of labor. Wage-slavery is not true freedom. That's why it is called slavery.
The poor pay the politicians with their vote. Or rather, are paid for their vote. Your opinion is based on anger, not facts.
