15.5% of your population has no health insurance AT ALL, but somehow you think "Americans are healthy by numbers"??!???

Having health insurance or not has no bearing on how healthy someone is. Why do u think insurance companies make so much money??? Because we pay every month but dont go to the doctors every month and rack up expenses insurance companies have to pay out. On a whole Americans as most countries are predominently healthy. Not to jinx myself but look at me...46, never a broken bone, never anything more than a cold...yet I pay every month $1400.00 for H.I.

So how do you pay more when your salary isn't increasing at the same rate? Thus you wonder why 47.5 million Americans are without health insurance. Do you really think that with all the foreclosures, those people still have a mythical nest egg for health insurance, but yet didn't want to make their mortgage payment?
And even if you have medical coverage, it doesn't mean its adequate, so that percentage is likely much higher

Well true insurance costs go up yearly but honestly not by that much. Mine has gone up $400.00 per month in the past 12 years. thats about $33.00 monthly increase per year. Now I am not gonna sugur coat it. It aint cheap and yea many cannot afford it for sure. But those people seem to know how to work around that.

Again MPD, a 2 second google search would end these fallacies you hold on to about healthcare in your country. I swear I used that same article when I pointed out the same inaccuracies over a year ago in another debate about health care with you. Why do you hate education so much?

Look u have to deal with the cards u r thrown. While u wait in line for three hours for a doctors visit(u posted that once). I am out in 20 minutes and have my dope from the pharmacy in an hour from then. While you may have to wait 3 months or longer for major testing ie:cat scans etc. we can get them scheduled within a week.
Plus having to pay for health insurance sort of makes u really intend on taking care of yourself physically. Nobody wants to be ill
