re: America is the only industrialized nation that does not guarantee health care for all

is that a major issue that should be addressed in the 2018 midterm elections non-stop from NJ to the hills of Oregon?

No. It's your personal responsibility to:

1. Lead a healthy lifestyle.
2. Get an education that qualifies you for a job with healthcare benefits or allows you to pay for your own benefits.

The end. Medicaid/care is the leading cause of rising healthcare costs because of the insane amounts of fraud both from medical practitioners/facilities and patients. Medicaid/care will pay more? Prices rise. Prices rise? Medicaid/care pays more. As the prices go higher people bitch to government to take care of them instead of bitching to government to stop skewing the fricking system.

We have unemployment lower than it's been in almost 20 years, unemployment that is at record lows for minorities and at a ~40-year low for women, we have a roaring GDP, trade imbalances being corrected and rising wages. We have at least one of our sworn enemies BEGGING to negotiate with us and actual trading partners (begrudgingly) coming to the table so we can make better deals for us.

Even with all that there are still those short-sighted morons that will blindly follow anyone that supports a #MoreFreeGuhmintStuff campaign because their narrow perceptions and religious-zealot-like devotion to their own political bias will not allow them to see that government addiction is one of -if not the- largest detriment to success anyone can face.

I tell ya what... once all government social programs shift from focusing on trying to recruit more people onto programs and begin focusing on trying to teach people to make better life decisions that allow them to get off said programs (or kick them off if they refuse), then we can start discussing such programs as being worthwhile. Until then, no.

Does New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Maine not deserve health care?

No

next stupid question

Let's have death panels but not call them that like the UK does!

Let's have a separate private system for the rich who can afford it like the UK does. If it is so wonderful why do they need that?

Medicare and SS will already bankrupt the country, let's go for the fricking trifecta!

The economy is booming and there are a ton of job openings. Yet I still see the same people sitting around doing nothing. I don’t care if those lazy fricks get stage 4 cancer, AIDS and a STD. If you don’t work, you shouldn’t eat or get free healthcare, unless you have NO ARMS OR LEGS would be the only acceptable reason for you not to work and get free food and health care. I have a co-worker with 1 arm and 1 leg and he works his arse off. No excuses.

I still find it funny that America is the only country in the world where the poor people are fat.

I lived for two year in the South of France and France has universal coverage, but it's not all that universal. If you are an immigrant you get very limited care and if you want something out of the ordinary like a hip replacement, etc. you will pay for it.

The French docs I encountered though were very good....the one thing they don't have is bloated office personnel like here in the States and a lot less heart disease.....we have a lot more heart and cardio-vascular disease in this county than the rest of the industrialized world .

36th DV.

phuc u libbies. we don't need no fricking obamashit!

Every American receives health care. Some just don't pay for it while others pick up the tab.

Ever wonder why your tab is so high....DUUUUUH

This would be one of the biggest disasters in this countries history if they ever do this. We’d be finished
