wtf!

still, I'm really, really glad I'm not American. took 5 years of this before a hospital would do it for free.

Who needs testicles anyways?

Warning: Racial Oriented Remark Follows:

God Damn! They aren't happy with just having bigger penises, now they are stepping it up a notch. That is one I will happily let them have.

</WARNING>

On a serious side, I'm sure that is something that plagues men of all races. Him being African American just gave me the opportunity to make that remark. I'm curious what the statistics are for men having that problem. Assuming it is elephantiasis or something similar.

Why? Food is at least as important as health care, and nobody says it should be "free" (TANSTAAFL).

I guess you're still wondering why slavery was abolished just a few decades ago too.

They're not working for free if healthcare is free or not. Please don't be stupid.

I am quite happy giving a proportion of my taxes to help others in need of healthcare, education, food, water and a decent level of life rather than seeing them suffer and die. So are most other people.

A hockey player at my high school took a puck to the nads during practice one day. His testicles swelled up like red plums... They went back to normal size after a few weeks, but apparently it was pretty fun while it lasted.

Is Obamacare not good enough for you?

My opinion on Obamacare is that what was passed is shit, what was supposed to pass could have been great.

I never said the wars were doing any good! Except for the profits of the military industrial complex, of course. Now we're doing the same thing to health care.

The main point of a healthcare system where (almost) everyone is insured regardless of their payments, and every one who can pays, is that is in fact cheaper in most cases than what you have in the USA. Just look at Canada, for instace.

And why is healthcare for everyone cheaper? Because a stitch in time saves nine. If this guy could have gone to the doctor when the swelling started, he could have gotten healed with minor surgery. Now he needs a huge surgery that will cost at least tenfold more.

And if he got cured early on, he could have gone on to find a job and pay taxes. And his employers wouldn't mind he had a "preexisting condition" because it wouldn't make the insurance fees more expensive. And the doctors wouldn't have to worry if they will get paid. There's a bigger insured base.

And this doesn't mean it all needs to be run by the government either. In some countries the health care is run mostly privately, only those who can't afford the free market are covered by the state. And in other countries, the healthcare system is run by private charitable institutions. Which make even more sense than commercial companies running the system if you think about it.

As for the USA army, it is so big, mostly to give jobs to poorer USA citizens in a way that doesn't offend conservative sensibilities, and puts money in the pockets of the military industries.

I, for one, don't see what's wrong with free food if the country can afford it.
