Exactly… dont vote for her. Amazingly enough, while on the Board of Walmart, she helped devise the current scheme to avoid providing health care to as many employees as possible…

A7mad19, if most of the misery on earth was created by the white man, then why is Africa one of the most warring, poor, AIDS-ridden, and morally backwards continents in the world? Now I am not blaming black people, but it certainly points away from white people. I think race has NOTHING to do with good or bad. If you hate Americans, then fine. But don’t blame the races, because if you do, you sound like one of the ignorant fucks running around America in white robes.

You are quite mental. So life in the Denmark is worth more than life in Africa. Fair enough, your point has been made quite spectacularly.

Not for everyone, but for Medicare 77% costs occurred in the last year of life, 52% of them in the last 2 mo, and 40% in the last month, When you are old and become seriously ill, you are more likely to die than the seriously ill young.

Why can people not understand the simple fact that there is no free lunch. Will doctors treat patients for free, can hospitals run without money. Will drug cos. give away medicines at no charge. Medical care is very expensive and someone has to pay for it. So called free health care will be paid by the government which does not have ANY money it did not first squeeze out of the tax payers. There is no hospital in the country that is allowed to turn away a sick person just because they have no money. Maybe they will not get world class care, but they will be treated.

to be morally backwards is an entirely relative concept and disrespectful of cultural values other then your own.

Canada's healthcare isn't perfect. Neither is the US. From what I've heard from people who've moved from the US to Canada, quality of care and wait times are far better here in the US. Most people would rather pay for a higher standard of care and shorter wait times than move to a lower standard of care and far longer wait times for free. The fact that Canada is losing many of it's better doctors and nurses to the US should tell you something about the situation.
I wouldn't want a socialized healthcare system period. What I would like to see is a reform in the US healthcare system, especially in terms of US insurance companies. In the words of Obama "why take a hatchet to something that only requires a scalpel"?

No… morally backwards is not relative. Certain MORALS are universal and transcend cultural boundaries. Morals are not to be confused with cultural norms, customs or traditions. Morals include those acts that are universal such as murder (aside from war), rape, corruption, lying, stealing, etc. These acts are not valued by ANY culture regardless of their context.
