[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a person who has lived overseas, Americans have a very strange idea of how free healthcare works.

20-30% of the national budget goes towards it and increases every year. Most countries want to get rid of it.[/quote]

I have traveled extensively in Europe and Canada and never met anyone who wanted to get rid of it or worse, replace it with the american system. [/quote]

Ask an academic. Their countries are slowly going broke. The Titanic is sinking and every time the captain tries to tell everyone, the band plays louder and the people close their eyes and put finger in their ears. [/quote]

I'm an academic and while it is true that countries with robust safety nets have their flaws, I and the vast majority of other academics would strongly prefer those models over the one that the US has currently. Not only is health care in the US extraordinarily expensive, but our results are terrible, especially given the price we pay for it. Also, those other countries that are "slowly going broke"? It's because of a significant reduction in birth rates. [/quote]
