7 ranks higher based on a system that ranks by who can "get access to healthcare" meaning who gets a free ride. Oh but do we really count the actual QUALITY of the care with the QUANTITY of those who are actually responsible enough to pay for their own healthcare? no WHO is based of a socialist blind look at "fairness" but ignores the pitfalls of trying to get something for nothing.
Hey thanks ayn rand, obviously the poor don't suffer enough, we need to deny them the treatments they need to survive! but i understand what you're saying, i'm a firsthand witness of the very rare and few disgusting people who leach off the system, natives and morbidly obese people pretty much live in the hospital and get free meals and they stay in either by hurting themselves or being too fat to live.
regardless, the vast majority of the population respects the system. its better quality of life.
HAHA, yeah, imagine that. A doctor that spends hundreds of thousands on school and probably millions in insurance against idiot lawsuits daring to make a profit. They should be slaves! Because, hey, we all have a God given right to healthcare. People respect the system my ass. Utopias only exist in fairytales.
Are you saying we need to put the value of a human life into dollars and cents? A system like the Canadian provides the same quality of medical education that the American system produces for approx 16.5 thousand Canadian, which is about 15000 American. Its no where near the kind of cost you projected. And yes, we all do have a god given right to health care, humans have survived by helping each other out. I hope you get a horrible disease with expensive treatment without help from family. Then what :)
Sorry i redact the 16500 dollar tuition fee, thats for the first 4 years, it can reach up to 100,000 after 9 years education. Regardless, A Canadian doctor working a 37.5 hr week can make up to 132,000$ a year, which makes 100,000 tuition look a lot less daunting. http://www.caribbeanmedicine.com/article9.htm
Don't you think the government has its hand in your pocket a little too often anyways?
Gee, I wonder why the talented doctors that should be paid what they are worth come to America??? I know of 2 personally from Canada. Then when all the good care is in America where you can pay what it's worth instead of wait in line with everyone else even though you were responsible enough to have the $ to pay. There is no such thing as a right that depends on another person for adults. I don't owe you a ##@#ing thing.
well you make a good point about the doctors going down to the states for better pay etc. but what happens if you get cancer and need months of expensive treatment? can you personally afford such a thing? and with regards to the waiting in line thing and dying because you can't get treatment, the reason people have to wait a long time is because we prioritize the patients according to the severity of the disease, so if you need the treatment asap, you get it.
And a lot of the time it comes down to circumstance, bad luck, or just inability to earn a lot of money and not responsibility. Some people work their asses off just so that they can get by and then suddenly they get hit with a 10,000$ medical bill? in my opinion that's complete bullsh*t. Also, humans are characterized by an emotion called empathy, heard of it? The way modern capitalism is going we're all getting stuck in the debt system and we get raped for our livelihood.
Tens of thousands in medical bills. Thats's what private medical insurance is for, and tort reform could fix much of the US high cost issues of medical coverage. And who in the world gives the government the right to decide what type of priority you are? Especially when you are responsible enough to afford coverage that would get you imediate treatment? You are the one devaluing human life by sticking us all in this big coffer and saying we deserve to have other people decide how important we are.
Empathy and charity are great and there are thousands of hospitals in the US that operate off of it, but it's not the government's job to take care of us, because we then give up our rights to decide our own importance. We don't turn anyone down that is dying in the US that doesn't have the means to pay for treatment. And at the same time, if you are willing to work hard enough to go out and make the kind of money where you can buy the best and quickest medical care there is, no one has the right to deny it
I liked the song a lot, it fit the environment perfectly. Pretty creative of you too. Reminds me of my hour ride to school up in Tampa. Maybe i'll do the same thing for that just for fun. You get the better workout over me (I motorcycle it) i just hold on for dear life and workout my legs when the bumps on bridges are enough to give me a headache lol!
For what it's worth, I liked your handful of fad cameos. You weren't relying on them to carry the site; they just personalized your "video" for the YTMND audience. (That's cool, because then we know that you made it for us. I enjoy imagining that there are other YTMNDers out there in the real world -- people who are looking at the world a little differently because of the time they spend on here.)
look, obviously you're some little sh*t who made an alt account to beef people cause you can't beef people, on the internets, on your own account. no matter what i say you'll come back with some lame attempt at a comeback. and i think riding a bike over the distance i do twice a day proves i have more testicular power than some little internet tough guy with a car. and i own a car, i choose to ride my bike/work o so that if i ever met some sh*t talking geek like you i could rub your face in your own sh*t.
