  Health care hasn't crippled any other first world country, just sayin'
  
  Also the US health care solution has been terrible for much, much longer than the diabetes problem so I dunno where you're getting the idea that eating better = no need for health care idea, spart.

  
  
  Well it did put Canada in an increasing amount of Debt but that's about it :D

  Well with Harper as our PM I'm not quite sure how much longer that will last; He has the looks and could do well as a banker.

  My personal problem with free health care is because someone always doesn't pay. 47% of Americans don't pay taxes, that means those of us that do pay for those bum's health care.
  
  No thank you.

  My parents didn't pay taxes and didn't get a single phone call or letter demanding money.

  I looked this up and the main reason is tax deductions for people who earn so little money in the first place that the deductions lower it to nothing and people living on government benefits, like the elderly.

  Seriously, the US public is very quick to throw everyone under the bus in order to maybe sorta not help out imaginary welfare queens that don't exist in any reasonable number
  
  It's disturbing.

  Spartaa's never heard of other countries, let alone understands that health and science are hard and stuff.
  
  I mean almost every other civilized, first world country on earth has high minimum wage and universal healthcare and it works out fantastically, but it won't work in MURRICA because-
  
  I guess it makes sense. Before I moved out to NSW I though making less than $10 an hour after six years of constant work at a place was normal, and that it was fine for me to have never seen a doctor for years and years because I can't afford it. I was convinced that it was the best system in the world because MURRICA. Having actually left the country, though, it's easy to see that the US is stuck driving in circles when it's not actively shooting itself in the foot.

  
  
  Welfare states never work out for long periods of time. Debt, rationing, and high taxes will get to them one way or another. The grass is not always greener on the other side.
  
  There is no such thing as a free lunch. Getting more doctor visits means that someone else is losing part of their paycheck to pay for it. Having higher minimum wage means that other people are being shut out of the job market.

  Health insurance shouldn't exist at all. If we just let the market regulate the price of healthcare, it would be affordable to nearly everyone. Health insurance just radically inflates the price of care.

  I will remember to tell that to children who are born with hereditary diseases like cystic fibrosis.
  That it is their own fault for being born with a disease.
  
  The problem is when people get sick they end up in the hospital using the the bed and resources which increases the overall cost of the hospital. These cost are passed down the patient.
  
  Of course Americans can try and adapt the motto, "Don't get sick. If you get sick, die quickly".
