I said, no thanks. Government is the problem. They are in bed with the insurance companies. Need a free market based system. Then I talked about Rush Limbaugh when he said do you need hotel insurance? I got many stares..
Jon Stewart is an ahole. His crowd sits thru “The View” then walks over to his studio.
Those celebrating the murder of the CEO are:
Democrats,
Commie trash who hate capitalism
Losers who cannot succeed in a system based on merit
Those wanting to profit on a universal healthcare scam
“in Canada and health care is free! Its paid for by liquor and cigarette taxes!!”
I guess the stupidity of that is completely lost on her.
I heard a story on fox yesterday that it took a relative in Canada 18 weeks to be seen for a urinary tract infection.
Great eh?
Our society is in the dumpster. I think we need to make school reform a top issue. These kids are indoctrinated to want socialism and truly believe climate change and anti-capitalism are their two biggest concerns. Luigi was a climate fighter....he learned that, he was taught that.
Lowlifes. This eyebrow kid should have shot Onambla if he was pissed off about healthcare.
Back in the 1990s, a friend had a middle aged relative from Belgium come to visit here in the US.
Eventually the topic of conversation turned to healthcare, and the woman from Belgium was saying how great the healthcare system was in Belgium, that everything was FREE, including university education.
I asked her how much she paid in taxes annually, and she said that the rate was over 50%.
I asked her again if she thought everything was free, and she just gave me a blank look.
I then suggested that maybe it would be better if everyone just kept their own money and paid for what they wanted themselves.
After all, not everyone needs healthcare or wants to go to a university.
Another blank look, and I realized that everything I had said had gone over her head.
She was a smart woman, just not too bright, like most leftists.
You should’ve seen Jimmy Kimmel’s stand up routine last night. (I don’t watch him, heard about it elsewhere). “Such a handsome CEO killer.”
Yea, how long a wait for a cat scan?
Stupid leftists don’t even realize that their idol, Barack Hussein Obama is the one who destroyed our healthcare system.
These are the people who called Trump a Nazi?
The times they are a changing.
The support of the murdering, raping, and kidnapping of innocents on October 6 by Hamas MARKED a point of NO return.
The rats came out into the light.
ANY pretense of moral authority was lost.
As a previous commenter on this thread pointed out it reflected nothing more than Godlessness.
In eight years Trump has flushed out the Godless rats into the light.
Barry Soerto never tired of using the phrase, “That’s not who we are.”
The November election was not about electing Trump as much as it was a question.
Are we a nation of Godless globalist Marxists?
The answer reflected in the popular vote was quite clear.
“That’s not who we are.”
We are NOT what the Godless people the media might want us to be.
Russell Brand is a bit of looney tune that I never watch but as I surf on You Tube I always pay attention to his headline and the number of views.
Russell Brand has a bigger following than Jon Stewart, The View or any of the trash on PMSNBC.
Just going on his headlines, he seems to be ranting from a better position than the likes of Jon Stewart who reflect a DEAD media stream walking.
I saw this comment the other day. It is from a well paid professional whom I've read comments from for years.
I think it offers a valuable and unique insight into what is going on in the medical industry, and especially regarding "free" healthcare in other countries.
"DoctorOfLove 2 days ago editedOk, on the topic of US health insurance.
1. I have a friend who runs (actually owns, with others) about 20 ERs. Yes, many ERs are actually outsourced. Texas and Florida.
2. So we get drunk (?) and discuss the state of the health world (with his partner, also an ER doc who was a marine in Vietnam - not medical then, his trip to the marines involved post high school plea bargains - has funny stories about Colt dudes from Hartford showing up to fix the gun - me being from Hartford, more or less).
3. They also run all international travel claims for AIG (or whoever now, this was just before AIG sh*t the bed in 2008).
4. As an aside, they tell me to tell everyone to get travel health insurance (cheap, since most people who travel are healthy, and non-US health care is an absolutely f*cking sh*t show).
So, appeal to authority completed, hence:
1. The US dominates worldwide medical practice. All worldwide medical education is based entirely on US standards. All practice is. Dear God for everyone else with DEI now.
2. Thus the basic level of medical practice is more or less the same throughout the world. You can have a convo with a thoracic surgeon in Moscow pretty much mano a mano.
3. All healthcare is rationed. All of it. All of it. Outside of the US, it is rationed by time. Non-US healthcare systems are grossly underfunded, by US standards. Simple sh*t like surgery kits. Bandages. If you are not dying in the ER, your surgery or whatever will be scheduled a year from now. Ask the Canadians. And sometimes even if you are dying in the ER.
4. Time versus money. The US is entirely money rationed. So if you have it, you get treated chop chop. The US insurance industry is the hander out of the money for the rest of us. In the US, we have MRIs and CAT scanners in veterinarian offices. Literally. In Rome, they have six. Our dogs have better access to technology than Romans.
5. Try to get any time significant surgery done anywhere in the world other than the US. Any Canadians want to pipe up?
6. Every single person outside the US, every f*cking one, who has any money, politicians, tech dudes, etc., has all their medical requirements handled in the US. 100%. Russians whose names start with "P". The deal is with the State Department is the US doesn't mention it. Probably Mr. Assad has had his tonsils out at Duke. I'm betting Pootie Pooh knows the skyline of Baltimore.
NO ONE who can pay to avoid non-US medical facilities uses non-US medical facilities.
7. Their Miami hospital handles every single rich person south of the Rio. They say medical procedures are routinely paid in cash. Hundreds of hundreds. Cash. You have to wash off the coke.
So why is US healthcare more expensive? Because it is more expensive. Because it is money rationed. Why is the rest of world's healthcare cheaper? Because it is grossly underfunded, and thus is time rationed. Because it is cheap dog sh*t. There are no free lunches.
So yeah, Obamacare, utter incompetent crap.
Engineering Constraints. Gravity is a relentless b(tch. No free lunches. The other worldwide healthcare systems are cheap precisely because they are cheap. Murricans are used to getting stuff fixed now, and figuring out who is paying later.
/my friends have absolutely no use for radiologists. Just sayin.
//their goal is heartbeat. They say "you get to my ER with a heartbeat, I will get you in ICU with a heartbeat. Brainwave?, yeah not included".
///Why you get travel insurance. They know every head of the hospital in the capital city of every sh*thole in the world. By first name. Thus they know whether Doc in said sh*thole can handle an appendectomy in a reasonable amount of time. If not, medical Gulfstream to Miami.
////Oh, and the comparative statistics? Utter, complete, total propaganda. What else is new? You actually believe the Propaganda worker's stats?
/////The entire f*cking rest of the world relies on the US taxpayer for everything.
/////My cancer ridden dying dog got an MRI/Cat scan. Three days after I asked for it. Weeks (months?) faster than your standard Canadian. Canadian Human. Hell, my dog's lung cancer was handled more thoroughly and faster than any human in Canada.
//////Also, capital cities. Even in the UK and France. Don't get sick in Manchester or Lyon. Unless you have travel insurance. My friends tell me only the Japs have more or less geographically even healthcare.
/loved that f*cking dog. Cancer meds, cat scans, damn straight. That dog was a MURRICAN. I was giving the dog shots weekly. Kept him alive for 9 months past the deadline. That's 63 months in human months. And his ASPCA insurance covered 80%. Expired sleeping on my feet while I worked.
As the old NASCAR saying goes: "Speed costs money. How fast do you want to go?"
Do any one of you here believe in free lunches? Or the tooth fairy?

Obamacare did not “solve” U.S. health insurance and health care issues. It did make matters worse though.
