Coming from a nations that has socalised healthcare.( australia) it is difficult to see why
the american people are so afraid of it. anytime i read an artical or see a vid on it everyone is worrying its the end of the world non stop ending paperwork to see a doctor.
some say politions and beaurcrats tell you what you can have ect.
everything ive seen that is feared is not nearly anywhere near true.
example i need to go to a doctor.
I call and make an apointment. i arrive at the doctors.
I give them my medicare card.( a medicare card is issued to all australian residents reguardless of finanital status when you turn 18. while under 18 you are covered under your parents card.)
i then see a doctor. he examins me. i get what ever treatment. he prescribes. take a script to the pharmachy of needed. pay for it and go home.
How hard is that, and what could possibly be wrong with it.
You never get turned away due to exisitng conditions.
A Doctor will help you will all aspects of any illness you have. you have no need to hide anything at all. the more the doctor knows the better treatment he can provide.
a percentage of the cost of medications gets refunded. off of the price. when you purchase.
the cost of this service comes out of the tax system. but we are not heavily taxed considering some areas.
there is a market for private healthcare but that come in mainly for hospital visits. for child birth operations ect. if you want private rooms ect.
which in the case you pay for out of your pocket.
Australia, the UK, France, Cuba, all of these and more have socalised health care and everyone is happy.
Now for you who are thinking that im a complete communist. im not. there are good aspects of socalism. and there are bad. just as there are good and bad aspects to democracy, hearldry,
even capatlism has its place but id taken too far it eventually destroys the economy. becasue people become too greedy. what is needed is a combination of all of these prinicpals. not to be afraid of extreemist ideas from the cold war. just becasue some dictators have taken an ideal too far and warped the first intended nature of the system doesnt mean that certain parts arnt good ones and that they can strenghten a nation as a whole.
there is a time for helping each other, to give everyone the oppertunity to succeed and the ones that put in the effort do so. But not with total freedom to do as they see fit there still should be some guidelines to ensure the big corperations dont hold the markets and economy in a noose.
anyway theres my two cents
