The only plausible explanations for Jerome's condition are drugs and upbringing. If, indeed, there is a need for an explanation in the first place. I mean, no one would request an explanation for anything that you've exhibited so far on SubSpace (and the forums), after learning about you being both British and ginger.JAMAL> laggy no skill nebwie

Looks like I missed this party. For the record:
US health care system is an abomination in the western world. We pay roughly twice as much per capita as most of the Western world (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ure_per_capita), and we do so without a correspondingly good set of outcomes:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ife_expectancy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...mortality_rate.
In other words, we have an overpriced, under-effective health care system, along with a poor record of social mobility and a widening gap between the rich and poor. We also have a system that misleads the populace, collectively, about this.
Some of the ways they do this is laughable, if only they were not so tragic:
"Texas GOP rejects 'critical thinking' skills. Really."

Come to think of it, that's probably why kthx' thought process is so fucked up.
@jerome, hai qtpie. Been a while, how've you been? I might be in your neck of the woods in early January. I expect some southern hospitality to all kinds of illicit substances in that French little state of yours. Keep killin' 'em babe.

Field,
You are wrong in every part of your post. Have you ever even had any experience in the US health care system? Socialized health care systems are the abomination in the western world.
How do I know this? Because I fucking live it every day. When some of you actually have to use and rely upon health care then perhaps you will understand instead of regurgitating a bunch of Wikitalk and mainstream media bullshit. Use you online intelligence to Google ‘CAT scan wait times’ or ‘MRI wait times’. You realize that in the US vets are dying everyday while they wait to services? Here are a few examples of socialized healthcare...

NHS controls and dictates the medical lives of those in Britain; they decide who lives and dies. So the idea is let Washington do this in USA? Christ, how fucking stupid does a person have to be to think that allowing politicians control a medical system is a good idea? I am open to any good ideas to reduce health care costs but putting Washington and politicians in charge of our lives if the single worse idea that is possible. I do not understand how leftists can argue that “big corporations are bad” but then talk out of the other side of their mouths by arguing that “Washington is good”. Washington is the biggest, worse run corporation in the world. If you want to be a good leftist and have ‘the people’ as the highest priority, then argue for smaller, more local and diverse control.
Read I what I previously posted, I have been experiencing both type systems over the last 4-5 years. In socialized systems competition is eliminated and this has huge impact to the level of care. In a socialized system, the amount that is paid of a medical service is predetermined and capped. So sure this holds down the cost but at what expense? Simple, at the expense of the quality of care.
Say you own a health care facility or service. The government tells you that they will pay you maximum of $1000 for a particular service or procedure. Now what happens when the actual cost of the service or procedure varies from patient to patient? You cut back things like number of nurses or figure out how move the patient quicker through the service or procedure. Do you really think that this leads to better quality health care? Say you want to open a new health care facility or service, do you really think that anyone will do this when they know that the government dictates their business? No, health care health care facilities or services close, leave, or never open to begin with. Same for good doctors and other health care workers.
I hope anyone who argues for socialized healthcare gets to experience this shit; try slowly dying while waiting for services or be caught up in a health care system whose only priority is holding costs down.

it just occurred to me that you think socialist healthcare is bad because you think the US system is socialist.
look at history. do you think the healthcare market started out socialist? or do you think healthcare started as a free market? ive done the research so here's a spoiler: it started out as a free market
just.... read into the state of "free market" healthcare before Abraham Flexner came along and tell me this is what you want for yourself
https://www.theguardian.com/society/...ure-on-the-nhs
it's disingenuous as hell to post links to figures suggesting the NHS sucks without posting links showing that it sucks because conservatives keep gutting it instead of looking at real potential solutions

Most countries basically have a nationwide insurance company. Everyone chips in, everyone gets healthcare. Sorry, but insurance adjusters themselves will tell you insurance works best when the pool covers the largest amount of people, and thats exactly what single-payer is
I do not understand how leftists can argue that “big corporations are bad” but then talk out of the other side of their mouths by arguing that “Washington is good”. Washington is the biggest, worse run corporation in the world. If you want to be a good leftist and have ‘the people’ as the highest priority, then argue for smaller, more local and diverse control.
the reason i trust government more than corporations simply comes down to responsibility. people can change government, people can vote politicians in and out of government, people can write their congressmen and have a far higher chance of seeing accountability than with a corporation. I don't like Exxon but unfortunately I don't have the right to vote for its CEO.
that being said when it comes to trust, i dont much trust the government. short of open revolution though, political action is the only real solution for the average person when it comes to changing society.

the weird thing about this is that doctors rarely, if ever actually set their own prices, so it's weird that price controls would affect them in any way. the government doesn't cap doctors' salaries?
