I mean I know you're supposed to have health insurance, but there isn't any law against not having it right? I really don't get America's welfare system. You guys live in the most prosperous first world country, yet the government can't even provide affordable healthcare for its citizens? It seriously baffles me that a lot of Americans actually think universal health care is a bad idea.
We're the land of the free .. corporations. The rest of us fight over crusts of bread.

So Why does medicine cost so much in the USA? A general practitioner in the USA makes, on average, pretty much the same as one in the UK , nurses are are a bit more but where are the other costs? Obviously the obscene profits go to the shareholders of medical companiesIts not that you need extra funding -the funding is there already. What you need to do is break the Medical-Industrial complex which is probably the largest bilking operation in the USA today.
Exactly. We're being bled. Swear to gawd, it is guillotining time!
