 Eaglewings says: To be more like Europe and Canada we need to reform our current health care system to eliminate these 10 benefits. It is shameful that Americans should be in better health then their European counterparts. It is shameful that we do not have to wait as long as the Canadians do to get health care. It is shameful to think that our poor citizens are healthier than Canadians. It is shameful that we have better access to MRI's and other imaging technologies. Why should we be so privileged while our northern neighbors are not so fortunate? And finally let someone else be responsible for health care innovation why should we be responsible for doing it all? I say tear this system apart and remake it so that we can be just like Canada and Europe. — Comment removed by clipper — And I'm surprised you failed to mention that Americans pay twice as much for healthcare as Canadians and Brits. And I'm surprised you failed to mention that Americans pay twice as much for healthcare as Canadians and Brits.Yeah so what? It is ten times better than either of the other two. Besides many American's pay more for their homes then you Canadians do as well. If we can afford it LEAVE US THE HECK ALONE. IT is our CHOICE and we like CHOICE not like you guys who take whatever you are given. The Health Care Reform bills before the House and Senate are not based on the Canadian system. So, all of your points are mute. It shames the U.S. that we are the only developed country that provides health care coverage only to those who can afford it rather than everyone. It shames the U.S. that we spend 53% more than any other country in the world on health care and yet rank 37th among nations in overall health care performance. It shames the U.S. that Americans have less access to health care resources including: physicians and nurses per capita, hospital beds per capita, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Computer Tomography (CT) scanners per capita. And who are the uninsure... Get informed, learn the facts.Yeah sounds like a good idea. You first! Eaglewings, I'm not sure I understand your response. Are you disputing that the plans before Congress are not based on either the Canadian or Brittish model? Or, are you disputing that Americans pay more for health care, but do not get as much in return? Or, are you disputing that just because a person who is from a family where one or both parents work and who is a citizen of the U.S. should not have access to health care simply because they or their parents don't earn enough to afford it? Let me know, and I'll cite my sources. ekhtemes I am disputing most everything you said. None of your statements are factual. Therefore you will have to get more informed and learn the facts and then try again. But thanks for playing. |
