Re: USA
I live in the US and i must say out government is total crap. As you said. Medical bills are the most common reason for personal bankruptcy in the US. We need better health care but that is impossible in this day and age.

I think it's both the government and a lot of the people who are corrupt. You've got the government taxing the hell out of everything and using that money to provide for everyone, because a lot of people out there expect the government to do everything for them. That's why I don't agree with free healthcare. The NHS is a joke. If it pays for everyone's healthcare, where does it get it's money from? Taxes, which come from the people. Their is no such thing as free healthcare.

Our government is in debt. I forget the number but I think it's something like 9 trillion dollars.
If you pay taxes, nothing is free... The only way you get to live free in the US is if you're illegal. -redface-

Re: USA
We don't have the same health care system as the rest of Europe, Europe isn't a country its a continent. So saying lets get the same as Europe is wrong as that means you would be getting lots of different systems.
And its free in the sense we don't have to pay medical insurance to go to hospital, like if i walked in with a broken leg they wouldn't check me out to see if i had medical insurance.

Re: USA
I think the medical facilities in the US overcharge
I am english and my family went to new york where my dad caught legionaire's disease.
My sister was alone so they let her sleep in a spare bed in the pediatrics ward
A week ago, which is about a month after everyone returned home we got a letter charging us £3000 for my sister's overnight stay in a hospital bed and a breakfast
Sorry that should not even of come to £50

Re: USA
The United States, even though I live there ~razz~ , is one the dumbest countries when it comes down to the government in my opinion. They just do not know a good idea when it is there, and if it is there, they ruin it.

Re: USA
Stop. That simple, stop. The UK has a system that works for them, let them use it. The USA doesnt, we all know this. That does NOT mean their system would work for us. Its not the Government in general, its the idiots we elect into office. Try voting for better people and better things will come of it.

Re: USA
I would like to see our taxes after this. I personally believe that if we get socialized health care, all the people who can't afford to get anything will go to the hospital for small things like getting sick. This will cause taxes too be raised, and everybody will be paying. I as against national health care but I think people should receive assistance from the government to find health care. The way offline puts it, it makes it look like the USA is evil. It isn't, we are just a more conservative government than other countries.
