I do think we need to do something! Most bankruptcies in the US are due to medical bills. Most Americans are 1 good illness away from being bankrupt. You like the idea of Insurance companies controlling it? As mentioned above, those jobs don't pay healthcare. Right! So, let's drop the minimum wage and any govt. aid and go back to sweat shops. I don't get the kill thing...there are easier ways to go to prison without hurting someone else. That bold part made me laugh...I know it's a typo, but still funny. Inmate A: what're you in for? Inmate B: I was wrongly confused. They should just die, yeah? I think the point is...he shouldn't HAVE to. My experience in Germany as well...the Germans I knew were more than happy with their healthcare. The French even moreso. Heck, I had a good friend of mine, who is an MD, that went on vacation in France and her husband got sick...and she gave rave reviews of the French system. Of course, people who don't want it will swear every European hates their healthcare...all anectdotal I guess, although most EU healthcare systems are rated higher than the US system. Of course, that's just the "corrupt liberal WHO" saying that... I'm probably not for 100% socialized medicine...but some sort of mix, like the French. I don't think this guy should've felt like he had to commit a crime to get healthcare, though. The whole "you can always go to the ER for free" is kinda BS when someone has cancer or something...gee, just wait until you are near death, then go see an ER doc.
