saucy Posted May 19, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Should the U.S. have universal healthcare? I think it should because people who need help and can't afford it, like the millions who live in ghettos and are struggling, have to suffer more. Either let the person get sick and die, or miss a few rent payments and find yourself out on your butts. I think the government should take care of its people. Canada has it and it works out good for them, as far as I know. Anyone else thinks this is a good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chauncy Posted May 19, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Canada has it and it works out good for them, as far as I know. Anyone else thinks this is a good idea? I think it is a great idea. It does work in Canada has for years, our taxes are higher because of it but it is well worth it!! The only problem that we have here in Canada is a thing called "The Brain Drain". This is when our Doctors and other scientific type people go to the USA because the profession is way more lucrative there as apposed to here. We actually have a shortage of Doctors here because of this fact, which leads to longer waits in Emergency rooms, but the USA has these waits too without the same healthcare system. I think the problem in the USA is the fact that health care is a business, its for the profit. We have to question the honesty of these money makers when it comes to new cures and vaccines.......it would seem now more then ever that there is more money to be made in treatment then in cures?

jenk Posted May 20, 2004 #3 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I live in Canada and I thought it is great except for one certain doctor who has yet to call me back and has a atomatic message system which tells me has not the time to see me about my MRI WHICH I HAD A MONTH AGO! The only way I can talk to this man is by going to his door and he is on the other side of the city! In short Universal healthcare good.......... Dr $%^#%^ bad......

BurnSide Posted May 20, 2004 #4 Share Posted May 20, 2004 not paying for my healthcare is WONDERFUL. however, try the same stunt in america, and you're looking at a tax increase of 80%, if they even bother at all. why? sorry, the government sucks. then again, i'm not THAT found of Mr. Chriten or however you spell his bloody name either.

saucy Posted May 20, 2004 Author #7 Share Posted May 20, 2004 yeah, well my doctor gets paid some 200 dollars just for me to come in for five seconds. I had some blood drawn and instead of telling me the results over the phone, she suggests I come in to hear them so she can get paid! We need doctors who care about people, not money!

Falco Rex Posted May 20, 2004 #20 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I agree, I can't even afford to pay half of what I owe various hospitals and doctors. I still owe 8 Grand for my Son's Birth! Either they need to make Medical care affordable or socialize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
