Don't forget the large obese black population that still embraces tobacco

This is one of the most retarded and stupidest threads I've ever seen on this site.
There's not enough words for this sheer idiocy.

In a single payer system, a 72 year old with congestive heart failure gets pain meds and sent home to die. In America, we dump $100k+ into prolonging their life a few more years.
Which is unacceptable and why government-controlled healthcare is not the solution.

How do you write "Dindu" in Japanese?

Comparing Japan to America in terms of health is apples to watermelons.

I would hope that no one would use anything in Japan as an example of something that might work here.

Health outcomes vary by race.
They also vary by age, gender, diet, education level, location, family history, and a shite ton of other variables besides race. The south has problems with obesity and cancer rates, regardless of race. You think whites from rural Georgia are as health conscious as the average white person from Seattle? In fact, Japan is geographically much smaller than the US. Maybe that lack of regional diversity is important.
Reducing this to "because they're all the same color" is just plain silly.

This.
It is easy to be Europe or Japan when we are paying for your defense.
What is the slogan?....America First!
Let's take care of our Vet's and "temporarily" unemployed before we spend Billions on other's.

Fat? Sure. Large demographic? Hardly. Black people as a whole make up like 12% of the population.

forgive me but why does "diversity" matter when predicting the success of a single payer HC system?
A) poli talk. B) really?

Good for Japan. Only way the US could do that is if it was 100% white.
