Thankfully I live in a sane part of the world where people pay their taxes to fund national health care, and they manage to pay them without endless whining and sleepless nights cause someone else may benefit from their tax money. I also live in a sane part of the world where no greedy insurance companies are allowed into the national health care system. Surprisingly, Americans are perfectly fine with letting greedy money sucking insurance companies determine what kind of medical treatment they should get, instead of their doctors, cause that's real freedom. Yeah, you're absolutely free to die if some insurance company can make a buck on denying you the medicine or operation you need to survive. Yay!
Americans will just never ever in a million years get it.

I think I'll just have to put the whole American health care thing on some kind of mental ignore, or I'm gonna pop a blood vessel one of these days, hahaha.

TT, that sums it up. People here are so paranoid.
Funny how Obama started screwing up health care before he even made it into politics.

And there you have it. So simple.
Imagine how much more efficiant the health care system would be too, without all the piles of paperwork that this insurance scam business requires?

Obama's plan is insurance TT, what part of it's an insurance plan don't you understand? You hate insurance, I hate insurance, we should be on the same page here.
I have no problem with socialized medicine, so long as the lone general practitioner can still have his private office, and I can pay him cold hard cash. (They do that in England.)
