Well gee Jambo. Maybe you should take a look at the healthcare system we have in Australia. How do you think it works?

Anybody who has a job- and that's pretty much every adult- has a bit of money taken from their pay packets every week to fund our healthcare system. And guess what?- it works, and it works very well indeed.

If one of my kids gets sick, I don't have to check my bank balance to decide if I can get her treated. If I have a heart attack, I don't want my family fretting that I will simply have to die because I can't afford health insurance.

I don't know you. I've never met you; I'll never meet you. I disagree with you on just about everything you post here but believe it or not, I'm quite happy for some of my money to be taken from my pay packet to pay for your healthcare. We're not just building an economy here- we're building a society. And a society works best when everybody is as healthy as they can be.

The American healthcare system is an absolute shemozzle. You can't run healthcare like a business, just for the purpose of making money. Socialised medicine WORKS. And it works much, much better than the ridiculous "free-market" disaster that the Republicans idolise. If you think they do it better, then I invite you to go over there, get injured and see how much it costs you.
