I have health care and I am completely happy with my current plan.
I don't NOT like being extorted for reasons including but not limited to: helping my fellow man, any charity I do not voluntarily choose to give, a guise it will be better for me, given sub-par service at increased cost compared to the service I pay for now.
my ability, my success, my wealth, my future, my well being, my life, my xxx > than everyone or anything.
US born Hippies do not share this ideal, but foreign immigrants who come to this country do...go figure.

But we are greedy and want to make money to better ourselves, and in doing so we create better, cheaper, faster products in order to outdo the next....this is the most horrible thing I've ever heard of.
But instead of moving to ever other shitty country in the world. I want to stay here and **** you ******** over!

People go to the states to use healthcare when they want fast treatment on non essential services.

And it's all great to say personal wealth / success is your prime goal, but see what you say when Joe Whatever who has way more money then you buys that heart you need to live.

I've got relatives in the UK who are paying out of pocket to send their daughter to a specialist in Belgium because she's still on the waiting list just to get TESTED for the condition for which she's already been tested and is receiving necessary treatment for in Belgium.

A lot of people came to the US not out of their own free will, but because they were convicts and sentenced to come here. I like how you also call it free land when there were people living on North America long before any of us got here.

Yes, because we all know government run healthcare is one size fits all. Ours will be exactly like yours. What works for Canada (some of the time) won't necessarily work for us. The vast majority were perfectly happy with how things are now, or how they were, but the government just HAS to put their nose in everyones business.

I'm one of those people that were here before, but it doesn't matter, it's been that way all over the world, forever. The US wasn't the first to take over someone else's land. But again, this is about HEALTHCARE

Shut your face. The reason some businesses choose to go to different countries is because we have things called unions and minimum wage and taxes.
Countries in which we set up shop have never had such opportunities to work in such great conditions. They love that we are forced to go for cheaper foreign labor by our own government because sew shirts all day give them more wealth than they would ever make farming rice with donkeys.
Joe Whatever has his freedom to buy and do what he choose, I have no resentment for people wealthier than I am. This was the card I was dealt and I do not need to take a pipe to the back of his knees in order to better myself. I can work harder and make the best of what I got and use the best of my abilities to earn it. Sorry you're such a lazy sack of ****.
...and I would sell my kidney if it was legal.
America was founded on inequality. It's unfortunate, but remember that it was the North and the industrialists that ended slavery. If the social system was so awesome, it would have been proven time in time again over thousands of years, on the other hand the American is the first of it's kinda and in it's incredibly sort test of time has trumped every other system ever.

There in lies the crux of the issue. What the doctor thinks is essential may not be what the government thinks is essential may not be what the patient thinks is essential. If you don't think you're paying for your healthcare, then you haven't compared your tax rates with ours.
I've got relatives in the UK who are paying out of pocket to send their daughter to a specialist in Belgium because she's still on the waiting list just to get TESTED for the condition for which she's already been tested and is receiving necessary treatment for in Belgium.

Me: full time university student. Made $9,000. Paid under 1000 in federal taxes. Got $380 refund
Wife: Made $55,000. Taxed $8,900. Refunded $3100.
So we paid just over $6000 in taxes, and this covers way more then just health care. My friend pays WAY more then that just for his family health care.

have you even seen my tax rate? My best friend moved to California when his company got bought out, and he pays so much more then I do. Here's my family breakdown:
Me: full time university student. Made $9,000. Paid under 1000 in federal taxes. Got $380 refund
Wife: Made $55,000. Taxed $8,900. Refunded $3100.

That's because CA is run by a bunch of socialist ******** that tax the rich and businesses (8.5%) in order to pay for pensions, shitty govt run services and entitlements. It's the worse state in the union, over 300 billion in debt and run on a 60 billion a year deficit, and a GREAT example for you to use supporting our point.
If you were a US citizen you would have gotten your full $1000 back. 40% of americans to not pay taxes, yet make up a higher percentile of people that want free things/services/entitlements. Our Gov't takes away our freedoms in order to cater to this large group of citizens, what's a 1000000 trillion dollar bill to them when they dont have to pay? they get more free stuff, so they'll vote for this **** all day long.

Our healthcare is pretty good. Because we have high taxes to pay for it. And don't have to pay out the *** to bail out some banker ********. Canada, for the first time ever, is looking better than the US.

Have fun when you start making real money. 43% of 100,000 dollars is going to suck ***.

For a while me and my wife had combined income of just over $80,000, and it's not taxed to 45%. And come on, every place has benefits to move to. You should visit the west coast of BC if you haven't. Amazing roads and awesome weather. Come to Victoria and I'll show you around

Why should my quality of health care be worse because you cannot afford the level I find satisfactory?
Why should I have to pay more money for a lesser service in order for you to get a better service?
Why is your need greater than my ability?
Slavery, give me a break?! Why is living in a Serfdom society any better than slavery? How long have humans been on this earth? Everyone wants to better themselves..why aren't we all millionaires living in mansions yet
