[QUOTE="GamingBoy2009"]No health care system is perfect but Socialist healthcare is not good for the people. I dont want the government to tell me when I should get an exam. America has operated on the current health system since its existance and now all of a sudden its wrong? Since when did it become wrong? We have survived on this current system for a long time so I would say its sufficiant. Besides, it costs a nation a lot of money for government healthcare, making the country go into debt. That was one of the reasons the Soviet Union collapsed. Also, the majority of Americans make enough to pay for health insurance, the only problem is some Americans wont purchase it because they want to buy stuff or they just dont care whatsoever. But I dont think Socialist healthcare is the answer.Junkie_man

The British healthcare system is nationalised, and although it is not perfect, no-one in this country would seriously consider scrapping it. It's not as if private healthcare would cease to exist, we have Bupa for example. And such a system could actually be good for an economy, as businesses would no longer have to provide health insurance.

[QUOTE="GamingBoy2009"]Public Healthcare or Socialized Medicine is bad news. Socialized medicine has actually hurt more countries than actually helped. Canada has Public health care but many citizens come to America for treatment because in a system were the government is in control of the health system, the citizen is put on a waiting list. So if you have cancer and you need to wait 6 months to get into a hospital, by then it might be to late. Also dictators from around the world come have to America for treatment, you know why? Because we have the best healthcare system in the world. So I say if its not broke, then dont fix it.bradleybhoy

:lol:

Dictators from around the world go to America for top quality healthcare because they can afford it unlike their oppressed peoples. Dictators pay for it with blood money, and American medical institutions accept it.

There are problems with public healthcare, it would stupidto assume there isn't, but it is vastly preferable to no system of socialised healthcare. A system where the quality of a human being's health, even their existence itself, is decided by how much money they make is a deplorable state of affairs indeed.

Alright lets get this straight, Americans, you wouldn't recognise socialism if it came up and kicked you in the balls and then slapped your mother, and punched your father in the jaw.

You think the Democratic party is SOCIALIST? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! You need to stop accusing them of that, its really getting old. Public healthsystems are pretty much the norm, you don't actually have the right to call yourself a civilized country if you don't have it I'm afraid. Technology is not everything. Infrastructure can mean ALOT more...

And no, I'm not some maniacal communist, I don't think all Republican's are insane (although a good number of them might well be). Its just, I have a sense of morals, and as a human being, caring for others enters my agenda. If you are a Christian, and honestly oppose YOUR taxes being used to help other people in dire need of medical assistence, then you sir, make me sick, you make the rest of your brothers worldwide sick, and you need to take a serious look at your morals before you dare criticise anyone for anything for the rest of your short, miserable life.
