It means that people don't have to ponder bartering their health for food and clothing.Well, that coming from somebody who's never lived here... Speaking for Germany, doctors are amongst the wealthiest and they do good work.

This is just ignorant. The health care you get here is just fine. It's not like Europe is a bunch of developing nations.
Also, I would be pretty certain that U.S. doctors have made mistakes before so that's really just an ignorant statement to make.

I'm not trying to glorify our healthcare, or trying to say europe is a 3rd world area, I'm just saying socalized medicine is NOT the answer.


I don't believe in any social programs really whatsoever, government getting involved in ANYTHING usually means incompetent bureaucrats running the show.

I just don't agree with people who like the whole universal health care idea, its just not my cup of tea.

I'm sure in germany or other nations there is good care but, I just don't like the system being government run and regulated, if you wanna get to the bottom of me...what I'm trying to really say is:

I do not trust government.
