And yet this same government is in charge of Nuclear Weapons. And people want to spend more and more on that.
It's been handling Medicare on a daily basis for over 50 years. In your opinion, has it proven capable of doing so? Yes or no?
Me too. I don't care about money as much as I care about being a decent human being. Honest truth. Money is just stuff.
You're right, the American people are idiots to allow this kind of incompetency to go on. Every other industrialized nation can manage but we can't? WTF?
Stay a weekend in Canada at a hotel, then go out for dinner and drinks and look at your bill. That will help you decide.
When the exchange is a good rate downtown Detroit is always jammed with people from Windsor at the bars and restaurants. Some places offer even exchange to the people from Canada and they are packed.
They are right in the G7 average per capita and their public debt/gdp ratio is actually better than most
It's really silly to assess the total tax burden faced by citizens based on how much you pay for a meal and a couple beers when you're visiting. You didn't account for federal or state/provincial income taxes, for example, or property taxes.
I don't know who those people are...craft tends to be the same as any beer...$5 per pint
Maybe the bartenders should ask these craft beer buyers "would you like to donate $0.30 to help poor people afford doctors?" I'd bet 99% of them will be ##### and say no.
You haven't been to Canada then. And don't forget, 90% of those craft beer buyers in that bar couldn't afford cancer treatment either, so you may as well say 'do you want to donate 0.30 to have some insurance that if you get catastrophically ill you won't have to worry about where to find the money to pay for it'
You should have to give up the name Spock in your alias after posting something this absurd and illogical.
Forget industrialized.
Don't know but I bet we could make a list.
i think it has less to do with the "free market" and more to do with people not wanting their quality of care to go in the ####ter and not wanting to wait 2 years to see a doctor.
Not sure I see the correlation here with health care. If there is one thing we can all agree on, it's that governments that want to stay in power run their military exceptionally well.
Are you suggesting that our ranking of 57 is because we lack personal responsibility?
To the first part, our health care isn't exactly everything people like to believe (57th MT...57th).
If you cared about being a decent human you wouldn't be advocating for Universal health care.
No it really isn't and I am pretty sure you know that. When countries like Cuba and Slovenia (and 54 others that are better than us) can provide higher quality health care with no dramatic wait times to see doctors I am pretty sure the Exceptional U.S.A. can do the same.
Better outcomes? What planet are you on?
