Healthcare reform

*Cure* · 09-10-2009, 09:32 AM

Before we begin, I got special permission to create this thread so keep it civil and blah blah.

SO, what's everybody's opinion on this issue that seems to be everywhere (in the US)? I'm as confused as ever and tried looking it up and whatnot but still don't get what's going on, and if anything, it'll affect me a lot cuz I need to see a doctor every 4 weeks. So what's going on?

Your guess is as good as mine. I haven't been following it at all, but I went to research it the other day to see what all the hubbub was about, and couldn't make heads or tails about what all of these yahoos are babbling about. Everything I turn up is either conflicting, biased, or just plain nonsensical.

There's no money to be made solving this problem. Hence, it will never have a concrete resolution. My mom broke her arm last summer and the total bill was 12000 dollars, for a broken f*cking arm.

Do you think the swine that ended up getting that 12k are going to give their gravy train up without one hell of a fight? Hell no.

Too many crooked f*ckers making too much money off honest people. It will take more than a piece of paper to stop that. It's self sustaining at this point.

Free health care in the US will never happen, unfortunately.

So is that what this is about? Making healthcare free?

Is there any place in the world where it is free, except for some rich Arabic countries like Kuwait?

Canada... the UK, France, most developed nations with a semi liberal government.

The saddest part of this is... there are many many many Americans who DO NOT want free Health Care... If you can explain that one without sounding ridiculous... well I'll eat my shoe.

I was born in a nation where we take care of each other, and I don't care what anyone says about "higher taxes" or "wanting to pay for services they get"... I say bullsh!t.
