these conversations ALWAYS leave out the obvious. That the USA is a fat, retarded nation full of self destructive assholes that couldn't identify a piece of broccoli unless it was covered in chocolate and butter. Canada... not so much. Other european nations with sound systems... not so much.
the biggest health care costs in this nation are totally preventable
here are some changes you will have to make for it to work in the USA... lets get this into the bill before it's too late!!
you have to stop being a fat pig
you have to stop smoking
you have to start wearing your seat belt
you have to start wearing a helmet
you have to pay for your own negligence
we have to stop people from eating like 1/2 starved homeless assholes that just found a bunch of food in a dumpster
as a nation, we have to stop trying to figure out how to wrap a cigarette in bacon, coat it with sugar and chocolate, soak it in cheap beer and deep fry it.
we have to stop serving kids shit food in public schools
we have to make people who make bad choices like smoking, becoming fat/obese pay for their costs and NOT make people who make great choices pay for that behavior
you can't have it all ways. you can't be a nation with a 4 trillion dollar national debt, in a recession and then want to make a multi trillion dollar transition to a new government abortion of a bureaucracy... with no idea of how to pay for it and simultaneously be FULLY COMMITTED to being the fattest, most unhealthy nation on earth.
i don't want to subsidize you as you decide to make your family fat
i don't want to pay for medical procedures that help keep your unhealthy, fat ass alive
i don't want to stand by and watch you make your kids obese. in fact, i want you to be charged with child abuse
i don't want to pay for drugs that do what YOU should be doing with good diet, good food and exercise
i don't want to pay for your cancer because you eat like an asshole and can't stop smoking
I am fine with socialized medicine in principle... but if you want ME - who tries to do everything right... to pay for YOU who does everything wrong... then you have some obligations to ME or you need to pay for your own shitty decisions and bear the consequences yourself.
