Atheists being asked about the existence of Jesus

[Belacqua]

No, I was thinking about your assertion that the reason America lacks a sane health insurance system is because there are a lot of Christians there. If you have some empirical evidence for this odd assertion, I'd be interested to hear it.

That's your assertion not mine. My guess is that you are referring to a convo I had with Angelina who said Christians make world better place and then mentioned healthcare in Japan and then I said that there are no Christians in Japan meaning that they already have a better ("wonderful") solution (world) than some Christian countries. That simply means that world can be (and often is) better without Christianity.

Here's the exchange I was thinking of. Does this not assert that the reason Japan's health insurance system is better is because there are so few Christians here?

"We never have the right debate in America concerning healthcare which would get to the root of the problem. Should we allow healthcare to be just another business run for profit? Japan asked this question and said no and set up not for profit corporations to administer healthcare. So now an ultrasound exam that costs many thousands of dollars in the US cost less than $100. Doctors are paid well but there are few millionaire MDs in Japan. Hospitals are not for profit and so a room there is a fraction of the cost in the US. There are NO insurance companies taking a huge chunk of healthcare dollars as profits for themselves and their stockholders and there is no multimillion dollar lobbyist being paid by healthcare dollars to influence Japans government to help them bilk the sick and injured. Because it is not for profit drug companies are forced to compete for the business and the government negotiates far cheaper prices than these same companies charge in our for profit system. Way more money is spent on prevention in Japan because in a not for profit system good health outcomes are rewarded instead of the sickly being profitable in our messed up parasitic system. As long as for profit corporations run our system healthcare will remain the largest government expenditure and the underlying problem of soaring cost will never be addressed because high costs, sick people and large profits is what our system is designed to produce"

That's because Japan has almost no Christian population to speak of.[/size]
