Originally posted by AllianceWell, judging from Germany Unions are egoistical bastards that just destroy every chance of advancement. That is if they are not fair, which could happen too, but usually doesn't. I'm not too fond of Unions, I think there must be other ways to give employers fair chances.
Yes. Also true. However, coroporations have been fairly effective at preventing unions from forming. Organizaitons like unions should certainly be entered into this question.

lies, all lies!
From what I hear, it didn't always take months to get treatment in this country. I was born in 1984, so the time in which the healthcare system was as good as Americans stereotype it as being was likely a time that occurred before I was born. Obviously, having a healthcare system doesn't mean waiting for months to get treatment. It's only having a lousy healthcare system that means that.

So you live in a country that has no healthcare system, right? The question is, does it suck as bad as ppl say it does? And yes, I'm aware that you can't take criticism or even anyone questioning the superiority of what is reputed to be the greatest nation on Earth, so I know you'll probably give me a snappy, smartassed comeback like "well does it suck as bad as they say it does living in a country with no military?"

We do not have a governmentally instituted and run healthcare system. We do have a healthcare system. Here is a little something you may want to consider, in the U.S. more medical breakthroughs have occurred than in the majority of the rest of the world. Why? Because doctors and other medical personnel are well compensated for such work. Also, U.S. doctors are highly respected by the global community. The issue that the U.S. is having is the corporate structure of the insurance company and the ability for insurance to not only insure, but also own and fund hospitals and clinics. The best solution would be for hospitals and insurance companies to be separate entities with no ties. All the same, I have friends that live in Europe, I lived there for five years. Given my experience with European medical Establishments and personnel, I prefer the U.S. brand of healthcare to at least three of Europe's shining star countries.

I think the USA should take a few lessons from Canada...
Universal Healthcare does not have to equal no medical progress.
Quite right. A Canadian invented insulin, and another invented the mobile blood bank thingy (the latter guy was Dr. Norman Bethune, though I forget what the name of that thingy he invented was. And yes, he was a communist. I'm certain that there are certain Americans out there who would like to point that fact out).
The free market American Health Care today is abysmal. I'm an American and it is disappointing to realize that the best health care I can be provided with is actually worse than the health care provided in Britain, who has a nationalized Health Care system, to its lowest citizen. In a atrociously simplified alebraic inequality, Richest Man in USA < Poorest bloke under the Union Jack.

I can never be really sure with him.
(No offence I do find you funny...)
But I really don't see this inherent evil of national healthcare...
But what really would be nice, would be making advertisments of perscription drugs illegal. Thats just wrong and promoting over-medication for shit that really doesn't have any sort of need. You should let your doctor pick your medicine, not the other way around.
