    Hey Master Edchdie Braavo has a right to his opinion!!! How else would we all be here now and not training just a Giiiiii and thinking yanking and pulling will help us when we fight the ground and pound power wrestlers of today

    On that note, I will say I wish we did have a better way of doing health care here-there needs to be something affordable for all the middle class, and while I won't say dump the complete low class out we can't just keep giving them free rides there needs to be some incentive/hand up to help them with making enough money to pay for the coverage (reminds me of college, the proverbial "not poor enough to get enough coverage,but not rich enough to pay completely through stress free").

    I got a 600 dollar bill just for a doctor to say " hey it's not staff " no treatment at all, so i'm paying those mutha fuckers 5.00 a month until it's paid off and I could easily drop the 600 but it's about principle lol ha ha take that you greedy fucks.
    " I love Obama Care " but I probobly make too much money to qualify for it.

    The problem with America's healthcare system is the American Medical Association. It is a literal monopoly that was founded by the Rockefellers and is now maintained by the government. All doctors, medical schools, and hospitals must be filtered, trained, and supervised by this organization.

    "Private" healthcare in America is a myth. It is all controlled. There is no competition because the AMA sets the standards and the government provides insurance. Nearly half of all health care costs are paid by the government in America. Know what this means? It means that the AMA and its affiliated companies can charge whatever they want without market pressure. It is a money pit, and the poor are the collateral damage.

    A good example of how the system actually works can be seen when you take a look at medical procedures that are not covered by any type of insurance (and therefore competition is allowed to exist for them) like cosmetic surgery and laser eye surgery. The prices for these procedures are constantly falling while the prices for other types of surgery skyrocket year after year. In 2009, I personally had eye surgery done, and it cost me $900 per eye, practically nothing for the benefit received. I paid for it in cash. (This concept applies to pretty much everything with which the government is not involved. Just take a look at the constantly declining prices in the technology sector.) Here's a good article which further elucidates:

    So yeah, a lot of people can't get proper medical treatment in America without going into debt, and it's a damn shame. However, people in countries with completely socialized healthcare are much worse off. I would rather be in debt than be dead.

    Here's a great documentary which shows the truth of Canada's healthcare folly:
