The top 19. Funny I don't see the U.S on there.
Thank you, you proved my point. Throwing these random rankings around means nothing. They took into consideration obesity? What does that have to do with health care? Actually, nothing on the list is related to health care. Just because a country has healthier people does not mean they have better health care!
Look how unhealthy Americans are, yet we are able to keep them alive. Superior hospitals? Maybe. Your source is invalid and if you look at it from a scientific approach, there are too many uncontrolled variables to use what you linked as actual evidence.
Look at Greece, it is ranked 14. Have you not heard the recent
news? Greece is what happened when the government supported the people, and not the other way around.
I'm greedy? I believe people are entitled to three main things:
1. Healthcare
2. Education
3. Security of the Person
I can argue that everyone is entitled to a home. I can say that everyone is entitled to a car so they can go to work. Everyone is entitled to a job. Everyone is entitled to free college.
We aren't entitled to health care. Life is a right, not a privilege. A right is something the government can't take away, not what they must give!Yes, you're greedy! You're taking money from everyone and giving it to the minority you crook! NOT ONLY THAT, but many people don't have health care because they
CHOOSE not to have health care. You aren't being greedy by forcing people to buy health insurance just because you can't afford it yourself?
I mean, what I meant to say is, I like your list, but mine is better.
The government should provide everyone happiness. Everybody is entitled to,
1. Free beer
2. Free hookers
3. Free potato guns
All provided by increased taxes, mind you.
All things must have limits. I am willing to give a little liberty in order to be secure and reassured I can pursue my freedom in other ways.
Not only will Obamacare fail and bring us into debt because you don't understand how insurance works at all, but you don't obvious have not studied American history and why America became such a success in the first place have you?
"I'm willing to do it, so everyone else should be willing to do it too."
That is the most retarded statement anyone can make in politics, because they automatically assume that they are right and nobody else but the criminally insane have opinions otherwise. Just because you're willing to become the government's bitch doesn't mean I'm willing to do the same thing.
It's also wrong to allow those without insurance to suffer.
If I knew you in person, you'd be in the hospital right now. I swear to God you would be.
I DON'T HAVE INSURANCE AND I'M OKAY WITH THAT.
"But you'll want it when you get cancer or hurt," you or someone else will say.
THANKS A LOT! I can't make my own decisions in life?! I need people like you and Obama to make my choices because apparently I'm not smart enough to make my own decisions?! Maybe we should allow the government to control what kind of food we are able to eat and how late we are able to stay up.
Get out of my life.
I never made it a moral issue, you did.
No, you did. You find it unfair that people are uncovered and that we should cover everyone because we should look out for each other.
There's a difference between looking out for each other and having the government force you to buy something that helps others (or is supposed to) but will actually only cost money because the president doesn't understand the basic principles of insurance, which obviously you don't either.
