Re: Man Robs Bank to get Healthcare
Heard this. I haven't had Health Insurance for years. Just can't afford it.
I know a guy here in the U.S. that tried to fix that... but we all know how it worked out. He was called Socialist and a Nazi and all kinds of stuff, so everyone smiled and accepted being a brainless zombie for a corporation.
As it turns out, Obama's new health care law also allows many more people to be covered by Medicaid than originally thought. The gap before Medicare kicks (age group 57-65 ...ballpark) in and for families under a certain income. That's millions more being covered under the "evil" socialist healthcare system the GOP were foaming at the mouth over.
Ironically the same shitheads who screamed the "S" word for a year must have forgotten that it was Bush who oversaw the largest expansion of Medicare in this nation's history. Tisk tisk.

My wife uses the VA all the time and care is great. She had a surgery about 18 months ago and the experience was top notch from start to finish.
Our senior citizens have been using socialized medicine for years now and they seem to be quite content with it. I don't see them marching in the streets demanding change. Try taking it away from them and see what happens though...
I wouldn't say our country is an "Ungodly blend" of Socialism and capitalism. It's simply a blend. Something they'll tell you in a basic economics class. We are a capitalistic society with aspects of Socialism sprinkled about. Frankly I think it's worked just fine so far.
Totally agree, I just think the insurance part needs more socialism sprinkled in. Other than that, America's system is pretty damn superb, considering in a recession the entire world still wants to do business with us.

Haha, don't worry. They also forget Bush started the bail outs and handouts of business too.
