The only reason why we are paying lower prices for medication than the US is we RATION our health care, just like any other "universal systems". The US system is a free market system. The US has been the engine for innovation and discovery. If Obama and his socialist buddies keep on socialising America, there wont be any innovation and discovery for the world.
Health care is not a right, it is shameful to see the majority of us see it as a right. The Dems will be owned in November. I will be campaigning online for the Republicans. Anyone interested in joining?

America is the last bastion of free left on Earth, if socialists like Obama succeed in America, there is no where else for mankind to run to. :cry: :cry: :cry:

PS: Rudd v Abbott health care debate is on tomorrow. How about privatising our health care system huh?

When you say, “I think everyone should get a minimum standard of healthcare”, what you are really saying is:


“I’m a dumbass because I don’t know that the AMA lobbied the state to restrict the supply of doctors, which is why doctors per-capita has shrunk since 1960 and since demand for medical services are inelastic the price has skyrocketed. I talk about ‘europe’ like it’s one country and assume because they have ‘more government’ overall that they must have have ‘more government’ in every single instance, ignoring the possibility that US healthcare may be regulated in a more harmful way than ‘europe’.
I want to have you give up more of the product of your labor to throw more money at the same number of doctors to service more people in a DMV-like environment. If you refuse, you will be harassed. If you ignore the harassments, you will be tried in absentia and sentenced to prison. If you resist being sentenced to prison, some gunmen will come to your home, breaking down doors and having no respect for the product of years of labor, and attempt to tase you and apprehend you. If you defend your property against the invading gunmen, they will shoot to kill.”

There are two main types of critics of the bill. Most all agree that: it is a compromise between two options (free market.


The American health system before this bill is in no way remotely a free market and is this is why medical services are so unaffordable in the first place.

I'll pay that - the American healthcare system was fucked up both before and after this bill, and from the perspective of both the left and right. Kind of lol.
