[NOT HAPPY!] Health Form Bill Passed

[Jamesy]

America's health care system had amazing health care? And America was the world's most powerful country, the biggest MEDC. So believe it or not you don't need FREE health care to be an MEDC. And the government should just let them die, no offence, if they contribute nothing to the country themselves. It's people's kindness that saves other people. And in Japan, you have to pay for certain things in their health care. And they have the best in the world!?

America's healthcare system is rated 37th in the world by the World Health Organisation. Just above Slovenia.

Its a step in the right direction for America in my opinion, however I think it'll be a long time before something as firm as the NHS is established. Private practices will still exist anyway, so they haven't radicalised all healthcare, they've just introduced another option which would help the American people. Nothing wrong with choice right?

Hmm ....
More than 14,000 emergency patients were rejected at least three times by Japanese hospitals before getting treatment in 2007, according to the government survey for that year. In some of the more publicized cases an elderly man was turned away by 14 hospitals before dying 90 minutes after being finally admitted. In another case a pregnant woman complaining of a severe headache was refused admission to seven Tokyo hospitals. She later died of an undiagnosed brain hemorrhage after giving birth.

Not nice do you think? You haven't actually answered the question - how much do you pay for Health insurance? I am also guessing you use no public facilities at all such as a library, swimming pool etc. Do you also pay the full private amount for medication or get a prescription?

For one person or a family?

Seems to be around £300 a month for a family of four from what values I can find on the internet.

Wow, just wow. I'm glad I don't live it marriott's world. I'd be dead, you know, being unemployed and all.

Oh and I know people in the US, one of them had a broken nose - paid $250 for a diagnosis, and then was referred to a nose specialist, which costed another $350 for a week. That's half a months pay for some people, it's stupid. I'm happy that the USA have passed this bill.
As for your "social cleansing". get the **** out.
A tiny bit of your parent's cash goes to helping out the country, along with everyone else's and you're complaining about it. You need to live in the real world and take out the silver spoon in your mouth, when you finish education, you may well struggle getting work, which would put you on the ranks of "doing nothing for the country". But because of your parent's status of being "rich", you'd survive? That's ********.
I've been unemployed for 2 years because of the lack of jobs roaming around, and I still find ways to pay board to my parents...

I've just had a sigh of relief, this thing isn't through yet it's just out of the houses, it's going to court

[Jordy]

lol why do you sigh for relief, you don't live there so it won't effect you?

I can almost sympathise with Americans who don't want this to go through though, this only benefits the working class and no one else, they're still having to pay. If they were all entitled to free health care, everyone would then benefit seeing as everyone would get healthcare and health insurance wouldn't be necessary. Although I suppose it is a step in the right direction, I do see why people might be cheesed off by it.

I'm betting you don't even know what the NHS is like, you've probably just heard horrendous stories in a newspaper. There is a few problems with it but from my own and my families experiences with the NHS, they have all been very positive.

If the NHS is so bad then explain this to me....

For my CAA class 1 medical, I had to have an ECG done because of a suspected heart murmur. I went to my GP and told him how important it was it gone done quickly. I got a phone cal the next day from a PRIVATE health clinic. My GP had gone and got the NHS to pay for my private treatment which would have cost me £300. You're telling me that's crap? I don't think so!
