Greedy doctors is the problem, and a lax government that doesn’t care about the health of its citizens.
Nevermind that healthy citizens make better workers and boost the economy.
Nevermind that healthy soldiers make better soldiers and boost the well-being of our armed forces.
Nevermind that obesity rates are skyrocketing and we don’t even teach physical education in schools anymore.
Nevermind that college and university drop-out rates are 40% higher amongst students with health problems.
Do you know anyone who couldn’t work because they couldn’t afford the proper healthcare treatment?
Do you know anyone who tried out for the army but couldn’t pass the physical (they recently lowered their standards again)?
Do you know anyone who is obese and lacks the willpower to go exercise?
Do you know anyone who dropped out of college or university because of a health problem?
Let’s compare. In Canada healthcare is free. Got an injury or ailment? Walk into your local hospital and get all the treatment you need… provided you are Canadian and have hospital card to prove it.
Why can’t we create a Canadian-style healthcare system in America?
Canada’s economic GDP was only $1.165 trillion USD in 2006. The GDP for the United States in 2006 was $12.98 trillion USD. We are over ten times more wealthy than Canadians. Canada’s population is 34 million. Ours is 298 million. We could easily create a free healthcare system in the United States that is even better than that in Canada.
But with one problem.
Canada’s healthcare system is regulated by the government. Doctors have fixed wages and can only earn so much.
In America our doctors are greedy and they can charge whatever they want. In other words, our doctors have a GOD complex. They have the power to save people, but can choose not to do it simply for the sake of money.
And thats what is wrong with America today
HEALTH SYSTEM IS BROKEN HERE AND THERE ARE A BUNCH OF AMERICANS WHO STILL WANT TO LEAVE IT THE SAME WAY EVEN THOUGH THEY CAN’T FUCKING AFFORD IT.
Mexicans and Canadians have a better care, affordable and simple, not like the one here.
What do u think?
I WORK AND LIVE IN USA, BUT I WILL STOP SUPPORTING AMERICAN DOCTORS SINCE I CAN GO TO MEXICO AND GET ANY TREATMENT WITH MY INSURANCE FROM THERE PROVIDED BY THE GOVERNMENT. THAT INSURANCE GIVES ACCES TO ALL TYPES OF CARE.
