And yea... while other countries have it all, why not move there? How about Canada and their lovely health care? You know the one where you could probably die from your illness before your appointment date? But they sure do have great cable tv and internet eh? You betchya!
As compared to the number of people that have died or are in the process of dying (or living with a greatly-reduced quality-of-life, which also reduces their individual capacity for contribution to the GNP), due to them not having health insurance at all, because they cannot afford it!
This is caused primarily because the private insurers offering it charge too much, and the private employers paying these people, don't provide it, nor pay their workers enough to afford to pay for it directly. (Such as Wal-Mart, that intentionally doesn't allow a large portion of their workers to work enough hours to qualify for health insurance, and instead tells them to sign up for their state's welfare-funded health-insurance programs instead - just so they can post higher profits.)
I haven't had health insurance for years, here, and am (unfortunately) suffering because of that fact. Perhaps I really should move to Canada. |
