Do You Support Some Sort Of Universal Healthcare?

[Hey Man]

Do you support some sort of universal healthcare - be it Obamacare or something else, like other countries have like Canada for example.

Or do you support people in America going bankrupt, because they can't pay their medical bills. The number ONE reason why Americans go bankrupt today is due to medical bills that can't be paid and that's pretty disgusting if you really think about it. This shouldn't be happening in a country like America.

So what are your thought on healthcare in America?

of course the lines are gonna be shorter in the US, considering most people can't afford to make a visit in the first place. that argument never fails to crack me up.

I wished we had healthcare like Japan does.

Too much compromise in Obamacare. All these myths of endless waiting lines and whatnot in Canada are hysterical, far from reality. My family are from Quebec, most of my relatives still live there, no denied procedures or endless waiting for them. And surprise surprise the govt. isn't completely broke.

Now, my mother had insurance, got sick, was dropped by her insurance and everything my parents worked their entire lives for is gone, in the end there was no option other than hospice care because there was simply no other option. She's gone but the horrible financial mess still lives with us every day. Thank god we don't have any of that socialist free health care.

I don't know, even if long waiting rooms were the alternative, sorta beats financial ruin to me, or avoiding care altogether because it's completely unaffordable. Isn't like all that money buys you better health care, the US has the 2nd highest newborn mortality rate in the modern world, only sub-Saharan Africa ranks lower. Those damn socialists in Sweden must be on to something. But then your safer having a baby in Mexico, Vietnam, etc...

Socialism is worse that a Hey Man cult. It's true about Canada - Americans bring up the supposed huge waiting lines and it just isn't true. When I bring up that Americans are going bankrupt due to the fact that they can't afford their medical bills, it's a very sad fact.

Which makes me reply again that We should have health care system like Japan.
