#80 Although Canada has a system that works, it’s filled with lenghty waitlist (typical 3 months, coud get upwards of 6) for studies and interventions because they don’t want anything private on healthcare. They seem to have seen the light and are thinking about allowing some privates in wether mixed provincial/private endeavors & full private places.

So it’s better than the one in the US in some respects but worse in others (e.g. better in health coverage but worse on health attention performance). I’ve always thought a mix of the two could be the ticket.

UK system, I know little about it.

I never said anything about Cuba… Look at the portion of the Movie referring to England and Canada… I am not a pro communist or Castro supporter..!!! Forget the Cuba Crap!!!!
By 1963, Castro moved Cuba towards a full-fledged Communist system modeled on the USSR. Looks like we are way off topic now.. This is my last posting on this subject… take care my friend.

#78 Sorry if you got upset, but anyone that believes cuba is a good example of anything is either naive or a lefty loon.

Examples abound on how pathetic the cuban health system is, not to mention how the cuban government leaders get richer by sending health slaves with subpar preparation abroad and having a full fledged health tourims for the rich inland. Just watch whenever a venezuelan “revolutionary” (people that “exhude” revolution for others but them and are puppy-lead by cubans) have any health issue; they all travel to the US or any other “imperial” country.

I did not see anything in his Movie (Sicko) that was not true… did you?.. maybe in my next life I will have the same fortune as you appear to have made for yourselves..(Patrick and Pedro)… This is no longer a debate… I’ll se you guys at the next Dick Cheney Posting… I also watched Arron Russo’s Film as well.. maybe you should, if you have not… these are more entertaining than I… have a good day Gentlemen…

We can do this all day long… In a major city you may be correct and I beleive this would apply to Emergency treatment only… No long term care… (most expensive type of care) cancer patients, Heart Attacks etc… Even an Ambulance ride can set you back a few thousand… its all rediculious…

If you live in any rural part of America, this may not be the case, and if its all possible and wonderful, then why is it a problem that is being discussed for correction?… Why then are people hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt after heart attact? Or suddenly the Insurance company finds a way to opt out of coverage… These are the wrongs that need to be corrected… You seem to have enough time on your hands to do research…..what about the State of Maine?… (I dont live there…)..
Do you have insurance that you can count on?.. Or do you have some sdort of Government Retiree Coverage that will never be taken away?… Each person experiences his or her own America…Its usually Pretty simple… The more Money you Have the better off you will always be…. I dont like to see anyone suck on the Government TIT, but I do believe that the Government has a responsibility to provide certain services for the Tax we pay. And I beleive that guaranteed Health care should be one of them… Not Hit and Miss, based upon your income or state or county you live in… watch “SICKO” Micheal Moore..

Bzzt. Wrong again. Walk into a State/County owned hospital in ANY state of the union and you’ll get medical treatment if you don’t have money. Please, do a tiny bit of research.

OK Section 8 is HUD… a very complex, but… Housing is available… OK.. maybe you have me on this one….. But again, I beleive that the original topic is lost now..
I am generally conservative, But I have seen what it means to not have much money and become sick. The bills are devestating… Most Insurance companies in the woorld out siode the US will say./.. “World Wide Coverage, Except North America” … I know..thats what my current policy says…
But we should GET the folks in Congress to listen to the pweople once again, Limit the terms…and be rid of the Electoral College… (We would not of had Bush, if the 1 man 1 vote were in force. The Electoral College is part of the Constituion, so it will an amendment to change it..and that would take allot of effort.
By the Way… I have no Credit Card debt…

Hi Patrick, and LL.. I am at work and i dont have the time to search for Section 8 Housing… Is this a state sponcered scheme or a federal Scheme?… My initialpoint hasbeen lost.. I beleive that the Govermnet should supply some sort of Guaranteed Medical Coverage, the US is the ONLY Industrialized Western Country to not provide this service to its Citizens… I do not want to get into a pssing contest about housing… Everyone of us will get old or sick or one day and this should not be the reason to be financially devestated. Did you watch the Movie “Sicko” from Micheal Moore?… And I may just move to the EU… I hope I dont get Tazed on the way to the Airport…by an over zealous cop… America aint want she used to be!!!

I’ve lived in EU & US. H.C. is available here to those without $ faster than in the EU. I’ll start there. Section 8 housing… In short, you haven’t actually researched anything. Also, listen to Pedro above.

Hey, Pedro, say hi to the girls down at Plentzia beach for me.

Currently I still feel the average western European can count on more from his/her government, than most us citizens may.

I’m not Patrick, but I would like to state my opinion on this statement.

There are many of us who don’t WANT anything from the government except what is spelled out in the Constitution. And I, too, spent 6 years in the military and received a wound while serving.

So how is it that two people with similar (seemingly) backgrounds have such radically different views on what to expect out of our government? Does my opinion count more because I was wounded? Of course not because the Constitution doesn’t leave interpretation based on feelings and wants. You may WANT more out of the government but the government is not allowed to supply it. EU countries have different constitutions.

I am not going to suggest you move there. I find that to be a coward’s answer when all other arguments fail. I will ask this one question, though:

You say you find the EU governments better. If that is the case, why haven’t you moved there? This is an honest question and the first of a few. I have a few more to ask based on your answers.

Allot of the responsibility starts at home, literally.. how much debt does the average american carry, (not including a mortgage)

And this we certainly agree on.

Patrick, I guess we know 2 different Americas.. I am an American..as much you probably are, I spent 6 years serving in the Armed Forces as well, its all perspective and lifes circumstances that let use realize exactly where we live and whats available to us when we need it. I work with allot of people from the UK, France, Holland, Germany and other places in Europe, so I get my information from the individuals from these countries, over many years. Please Enlighten me if you will, tell me where i am incorrect, I am always willng to listen and learn. Currently I still feel the average western European can count on more from his/her government, than most us citizens may. Arguably, yes they pay higher taxes in these countries, but once again, I am just stating the primanry points in the video I do agree with, an if the US had fiscal responsibility, then we too could have a higher standard of living and education in America, as compared to what is happening today, the standard is erroding fast. Amazing how quicky things change, remember 8 years ago when Clinton left the white house?.. First time in a long time,..the US had a surpluse budget and it was in the black and balanced…but it did not last for long… thanks George!!! Obama is and the Dems are handling a mess left to them by G.W…lets not forget, it was the self serving greed of the mighty that ultimately let us to the predicament we have today. Allot of the responsibility starts at home, literally.. how much debt does the average american carry, (not including a mortgage)…. we have allot to fix in this country!!!
