Universal Health Care is a right.

I don't know why you want to keep insisting on letting homeless children die of terminal diseases just to keep your stupid health insurance systems up and running. Canada has an awesome single payer system that helps its people out to a wonderful degree so all this "iT dOeSn'T wOrK" is pure BS. Social democracy is the way.

I once spoke to an American about universal health care and got his take on why it doesn’t exist. It should be a right for every American citizen…. Citizen… not non citizens that are illegally in the United States. Everyone should pay a small amount so that everyone who is a citizen can have healthcare.

@Muthafukajones We have Universal Health care- the best in the world. Nobody's ever denied at a hospital.

Now Health Insurance is a different matter. It's a huge clusterfuck and I don't have all the answers. I am no fan of those companies or even more excessive taxes

Health care in Canada is funded by the provincial sales tax of about 5% and a per person monthly fee of about $80 US. Is that a lot to pay? Everyone is covered for everything they need except dental. @SW-User

What kind of semantics are you using?the quality of the care is irrelevant if the cost is prohibitive.

Do all citizens have access to all branches of healthcare for free or at little cost? @SW-User

@Muthafukajones If they can't pay then yes

@SW-User what are you talking about?

SW-User

@Muthafukajones Nobody is denied treatment...

Muthafukajones · 46-50, M

What if they can’t pay? Still treated? @SW-User

SW-User

@Muthafukajones Yes.

Next question

Muthafukajones · 46-50, M

Then why do people die without insurance? @SW-User

SW-User

@Muthafukajones They don't die without treatment.

Isn't that what matters?

@SW-User have you seen the movie John Q?

SW-User

@Muthafukajones No. But a movie ain't reality. Doesn't interest me
