If anyone deserves better care, it is the soldiers.

@Kickin321 Works in England, not perfectly, but we all have access to the same care. Private healthcare flourishes too for those with money, but those without are not destined to die from minor ailments.

The reason the military’s “government” run health care is so good is because it’s run by people in the military (Our country’s finest). If we made government run health care public there would be a bunch of Jackasses in the system.
@MsUnpopular Not …
@MsUnpopular Not quite sure what you mean by “freeloaders” when the beneficiaries of the new healthcare system are every single person in the USA. I’ve read your previous comments, and they absolutely beggar belief: “healthcare is not a right” – in a civilised and developed society, it should be. What, precisely, is so unacceptable about the healthcare proposal? If the NHS and other public healthcare systems were failures then I could understand, but they aren’t, so I don’t.
@AlexR4444 i say …
@AlexR4444 i say we send all our freeloaders to the uk then and let alex and friends give them their greatest achievement,

Lies? …
@randekio
Lies? There are videos here on youtube that SHOW it. You submit selective evidence and ignore where universal health care fails. What about the other countries with universal health care that rank near the bottom of the list from the WHO?
I find it funny that while most countries with universal health care are moving away from it, the U.S. is moving towards it. Why is that? I’ll tell you; people “Feel” and don’t think.
Living in the UK, I …
Living in the UK, I know for sure that the NHS is an excellent health service, and I encourage all Americans to take on board the fact that the overwhelming majority of people here are proud of the NHS and think it one of our greatest achievements.
The whole premise …
The whole premise is completely retarded as the military does *NOT* run a good health care system. Do a quick search (try “tricare sucks”), read a little, the TRICARE system is rife with errors, problems, cost over-runs, medical malpractice, etc. Sorry peeps, but you are barking up the wrong tree here.
@MrQuickwit09 5 …
@MrQuickwit09 5 hour waits, and fleeing to america to avoid waits are just exaggerated lies told so people like you will vote against public healthcare. 99.9% of the time (nothing is perfect), you get the help you need in a timely fashion.-
i don’t want to impose anything, i was simply suggesting america try something similar.a happier, healthier work force makes for a strong economy.i submit canada’s strong economy as proof.

@MrQuickwit09
Another thing to add, I am Canadian, and I recognize major faults in our system, but we are not the only ones who run a public health care system. There are better systems in countries like Norway where they pay less per person than the US and have better health care overall. As a matter of fact the US is, by a large margin, the most expensive in the world for health care. There’s more private bureaucracy from insurance companies than public bureaucracy in publicly run systems.
It’s a Swiss system …
It’s a Swiss system that should be implemented in both cases I think. They do a far better job of ensuring an adequate level of health care is available to all without waits, though they ensure that the massively expensive treatments and research that we can’t do for everyone are available (and get researched and implemented to the point where, eventually, similar treatments become affordable and practical on a wide scale).
@randekio

@randekio
Works? Five hour waits for serious injuries? The problem with “socialized” healthcare is that efficiency goes out the window. Please name for me ONE thing that the U.S. government does well? Its fine that you have universal health care in canada, but why would you want to impose that on America? After all, many Canadians flee the country to America for care because of the waits.
obamas health care …
obamas health care plan wont give better health care to the us…… the government will have to budget it, raise taxes and this biil kristol guy is stupid
@MrQuickwit09 the …
@MrQuickwit09 the system that works is the system to go with. i care nothing of general labels like ‘socialism’ and ‘capitalism’.like i said, call the system that works ‘jimmy’ for all i care.canada’s system works well, why doesn’t america try something similar?-
you (or was it the professors?) keep telling me these these policies and programs (ie. healthcare) are proven not to work, yet they work just fine in the very country i live in! which do i believe, my own eyes or you?
@tonyg0123 whatever …
@tonyg0123 whatever system (by any name) that works, is the system to go with. probably a mixture of socialism and capitalism. like canada, which has weathered this economic storm just fine. -
defense for europe? any military presence america has anywhere in the world is to protect it’s own interests, not every other country in the world’s interest.

@randekio
lol sweden actually is less “socialist” than america. you choose to ignore facts, its cool but it just proves that you are full of it. Where did I say canada’s economy was weak? Why is it that Milton Friedman saw the problems with “socialist” problems that are inherent within the system back in the 70s fine. I admit it. Why is it so hard for you to understand that socialism inhibits economic growth? Like I said Canada is actually less “socialist” than america.
I had private …
I had private insurance for almost 50 years. Now, I can’t pay the premiums, NO ONE, short of a CEO of a large company could pay the premiums I am now being asked for if I want to keep private insurance. Once I started having health issues, the premiums began to skyrocket, and the last quote I got was $7000. PER MONTH. I have exhausted my savings and retirement funds, and am on SS Disability, but “make too much money” to qualify for Medicaid. I will eventually be eligible for Medicare but not yet
@mittinedkitten you …
@mittinedkitten you have to look in depth at what is draining the medical system in America and why prices are driven so high. Repubs and dems both want people to be covered, we just want to go about it different ways. 1) tort reform/defensive medicine 2) state to state competition 3) illegal immigration…would all drive down the cost without having to spend trillions of dollars like obama’s plans
@randekio actually …
@randekio actually yeah, socialist policies are starting to catch up with these countries. It’s happening all across Europe right now. Socialism is not a sustainable system. One of the main reasons why socialism even lasted this long in Europe is because of their ties with America. They don’t have to spend a lot of money on defense wheareas America does. And where do these countries run to when they are in trouble? America…because of our powerful military force across the world.
