I don't think you will find anyone here that will argue against that.
Everything in the US in regards to medicine needs to be cleaned up. It has gotten very retarded because it is the one business that we can't afford to let the market kill for being stupid and greedy.
Don't forget the garbage about liberals having some kind of monopoly on being non-racist or sexist. I can't stand that crap.Quote:

Fuck man, I don’t know how with what’s going on in the world you can say that. When was the last time anyone held the government accountable for shit? Bush is the president last time I checked.
Hell, one of the reasons private medicine cost so damn much is because of being held accountable. Every time they get sued over something they tack those litigation fees onto their current production cost.
Uh, yeah. That's why we have Miranda Rights, the Freedom of Information Act, etc. Again, IP talks out his ass.Quote:

So, in the end, it IS the responsibility of the government and the employer to make sure that income earned is distributed back to the one who provided the labor. Otherwise that's outright theft.Quote:

Seriously, the list goes on and on.
shut up gozen. You don't know what your talking about. Our government does shit all the time that they should be held accountable for, and yet isn't.Quote:

I agree that people should wait until they're older and more experienced to marry.
P.S. Public health care is good. They give you good medicine up here, a lot of it is brand name. And it's not like they don't offer the brand name stuff that isn't covered under medicare, they just don't pay for all of it. If you want the top of the line stuff that's most likely not any better than the government endorsed stuff you can pay for it yourself. Atleast you're getting something to help you out either way.
