Than give an example of those countries who don't want it- I recall during the Obamacare debates many people from overseas were saying how they couldn't understand why Americans had issues with universal healthcare. Also, if it's unpopular show me references or videos where Canadian politicians and/or European citizens have protested healthcare or have tried to repeal it. Fact is they like it they want it and it works!!!! Originally Posted by wellendowed1911My experience was and is exactly like gnadly pointed out. In England (UK), Ireland, and most countries around the world, anyone who can afford private (non governmental) healthcare gets it. I know Canadians (personally) who have come to the US for cancer treatments and heart surgeries because the wait for specialists in Canada is usually longer than the life expectancy without treatment. A friend's dad needed open heart surgery. Was put on a waiting list and told "10 months". His life expectancy without the surgery was about 4-6 months. Fortunately, my friend and his brothers could afford to fly him to Houston and he had the surgery in about 3 weeks and is still alive. Another friend had a tumor in his shoulder. In Canada, he only had an X-Ray, no MRI because it was too expensive. They did biopsy and said, yes, its a cancerous tumor.. But the lab did not do cancer specific tests to determine any characteristics of the tumor. They did not know if it was malignant, or how fast. Six months wait for surgery. He got on a plane and came from Toronto to Dallas and had an MRI, surgery, and radiation. 8 years later. still good.
Say, can anyone address the financial stability of, say, the UKs National Health Service? How about the rest of Europe, are they stable? Funded? Efficient? Originally Posted by CuteOldGuyThey can't afford it period.
No your mind is full of garbage.Typical of the uneducated and those who can’t be educated about the Civil War. Southern democrats were hardcore rightwing conservatives then. If you didn't know that, learn it. If you knew and ignored it, which is probably the case, continue to wear your ignorance and hatred like the badge of honor you think it is.
The dems may have lost the civil war,
but they never gave up the fight.
They will be our master and caretaker
even if it kill us.
Democrats never had loyalty or fidelity
to the Constitution or the Republic for
which it stands. Democrats should be
as villified as the proConfederacy.
Jim Crow laws weren't enacted to prevent
blacks from voting for democrats.
They were created by dems to curtail
black GOP support. They would be proud
of their great-great-grandchildren.
The nigrahs that Lincoln forced them to release;
their progeny have rounded them back up.

I can tell you did it by mistake since you also misspelled "known". A spelling challenged person who thinks our nation is no longer great. Like we would believe anything you say after that.

I don't about the Southern Dems being hardcore and rightwing, but I knew they were very conservative and racist.
Funny how the party names are always used and the political philosophy ignored when the Civil War is brought up. Originally Posted by Munchmasterman
