Because this will probably scare everyone:

Insurers Mount Attack Against Health Reform


One more reason for a single-payer system in america. They would rather raise rates to keep their profit margins high than just take the hit.

You could always go live in some other country. It's not like the US is the only country in the world.

 

[makotech222]

yes im actually planning on moving out to UK, France, or possibly Canada. Im so sick of the political system here and the way money runs the government.

Gotta wait till after the college degree though, unless i do one of those study abroad type things.

 

[Demigod]

You should cross the border north and live with us Canadians

Like many others Canadians I find it extraordinary that, in this day and age, a modern, technologically-advanced country could be even debating such a thing as universal health care. It's unambiguously obvious to us (and virtually everyone else in the industrialized world) that every single citizen deserves basic health care and it's the duty of government to provide it. I gladly pay my taxes to support this system as I believe it benefits every single Canadian.

 

[masta.g.86]

It'll certainly be good for you to see how other countries really work as opposed to how their government works in theory.

I plan to stay in the US until it collapses in the coming years. Then I'm off to Costa Rica or maybe Brasil.

you ever hear the term "the grass is not always greener on the other side" well I suggest you follow it believe me theres ALOT worse circumstances going on in the world other than a health reform or small political problems as such.This is the problem with fellow americans they think we got it so bad go over to the third world countries and such and then tell me how bad america is,to think we have it bad because of that Im sorry its ridiculous and Im not attacking you personally at all I know what your saying because alot of ppl I have heard this from and I say the same just remember while were sitting here b*tching and moaning or troops are overseas getting killed everyday.

Actually, the grass is pretty green here. It's not perfect, there's a fairie ring or two and there's a bunch of weeds over in quebec, but it's much better than the desolate brown lawn across the border in americaland.

If you don't like the way money runs your country, don't even think of coming to brazil (the land of corruption and where no one goes to jail for that...).

Unless you're a tourist and wanna spend all your money here

The second sentence describes my thoughts almost perfectly. I've been saving and saving and investing in gold and silver so when the dollar tanks, I won't be screwed. Basically, Costa Rica (or Brazil) is where I will retire in this rotting world.

 

[Nar Matteru]

arent there limits to how much gold you can take out of/into a country?

 

[masta.g.86]

Yes, but I'm no where near the limit. The limit for taking out of the US is in the tens of billions.

Of course you can always point to worse circumstances elsewhere in the world, but the US is the only country in the developed world that does not have universal health coverage for its citizens. US citizens also spent far more on health care than other developed nations ($5,267 per capita while the OECD average is $2,193). Health care is one of those areas where the US has lagged far, far behind and they desperately need some kind of reform to catch up. It's essential for moral as well as financial reasons.

 

[makotech222]

Yeah America is full of long term problems. Education is crumbling, leading to idiots voting for more idiots, leading to idiot laws, etc. etc.

I do foresee america falling within 50 or so years, or at least some sort of revolution/mass emigration.

[@ruantec]

BTW why you guys call USA AMERICA????? its not that US is the only country in the American continent lol! at least is what your goverment always try to do in order to let the world know they are the mighty ones

Why not United States??? the reason why i write that is because people around the world get confuse with the world "AMERICA" which is a continent and not a single country.

ur ameirca

Nevermore........... you never change. Nevermore your epic posts never stop to amaze me :lol:

 

[ElijahTW]

United States doesn't make sense anymore when you think about it.

When's the last time "north-american-below-canada-people" have been united over anything?

Amerika (Translation - German to English)

We're all living in America
America is wonderful
We're all living in America
America

We're all living in America
America is wonderful

We're all living in America
America

Where there's dancing, I want to lead
Even if you turn [dance] alone,
Let yourself be controlled a little
I show you how it's done right

We're lining up nicely
Freedom plays on all violins
Music comes from the White House
And Mickey Mouse is on the outskirts of Paris

We're all living in America
America is wonderful
We're all living in America
America

I know very useful steps
And will protect you from mishap
And who don't want to dance at the end
Don't know yet that he's [they] got to dance!

We're lining up nicely
I will show you the direction
Santa Clause is coming to Africa
And Mickey Mouse is on the outskirts of Paris

We're all living in America
America is wonderful
We're all living in America
America

We're all living in America
Coca-Cola, Wonderbra
We're all living in America
America

This is not a love song
This is not a love song
---> I don't sing my (mother's) tongue
No, this is not a love song

We're all living in America
America is wonderful
We're all living in America
America

We're all living in America
Coca-Cola, sometimes war
We're all living in America
