there's no way we could have a socialized version of the US system. We have to stop over-prescribing drugs. We have to stop "disease mongering". We have to stop catering to people whose mental problems make them believe that they have physical problems. We have to force people to change their lifestyles (quit being so fucking fat) and so on. We have to move to a prevention-based health care model. We also have to let the elderly know that they're not at the top of the list of priorities. Everyone has to die eventually.


I'm curious about something here. First, are you a doctor? So you know just how much medication should be supplied to each individual, huh?

My mother has diabetes; I guess she is imaging that, huh. Do you have any idea as to how much money my mother and my father is paying out in health care? Do you? Let me put it this way for you, OK? They have their house paid off, right? Both of them will be making house payments for the rest of their lives because of health care! That's surely some way to go about living out your golden years, huh.:eyes:

Now you mentioned that we have an obesity problem, here in the good ole USA, right? Maybe we could pay for health a bit more easier if Ronald Reagan's trickle down theory would actually work. You know what I'm talking about don't you? If the rich would get up and leave the table instead of eating the whole meal then maybe some of that could actually trickle down!

Also, you mention that everyone has to die eventually, right? Does that include children as well? Or maybe you're one of these people that believe that you should first permit them to come in to the world and then kill them!:eyes:
