    Clearly the U.S. isdoing something rightif the health of their citizens is (just marginally) better than those from economic powerhouses like Bosnia & Herzegovina, Mexico, and Panama! Seriously though, your whole country should be ashamed of reports like this.

    ...this is not a discussion about what the price of cancer treatment should be. This is a discussion about how much people should pay for it. Stop constructing that absurd strawman.

    Of course I agree, it's what I said. But that doesn't mean socialized medicine isn't a superior system. You pay a HUGE economic and social price for that extra 5-10% skill/motivation/availability derived from capitalism. It's like diminishing returns in an MMO and you've hit the soft cap on your...

    Of course that's the (terrible and myopic) argument against socialized medicine. It's the argument hyper-conservative power wielders in the US have used to bamboozle and marginalized the American poor for decades. But it's absurd.

    $8500 and not working would financially destroy every single one of the 50,000,000 Americans without insurance in 2013. Your wife makes six figures. That alone isdoublewhat the average American household brings in annually. You might not be rich, but you are just not who this discussion is...

    Dude... you've said quite recently that your household income is somewhere in the range of $170,000+ if I remember correctly. I don't think you're the best case study. The U.S. Census Bureau reported in September 2014 that: U.S. real (inflation adjusted) median household income was $51,939 in...

    Alright. But if you remove the profit motive from medicine, competition will decrease, and bring with it all the negatives associated with that. Individual practitioner motivation and even skill would probably decline as well as treatment availability. America can't have it all, but they can...

    Well, nobody ever accused Americans of being very bright on the whole, now did they. You can't possibly maintain the quality you have now under a private system, but you can maintain 90% of that quality and get everybody the health care theyneed.

    They could be going because they're Lebron rich. They could be going because they live closer to an American population centres than they do to a Canadian one. They could be going because they don't want to wait for treatment. It doesn't matter because it's a negligible percentage of the...

    52,000 people is 0.15% of our entire population... Or 1 in 634 people... That's what you're basing your opinion on?

    You only experience waits if your condition is not life threatening. Every hospital will treat you immediately in an emergency, and every general practitioner will see you immediately too. You do wait for things that rely on limited pieces of medical hardware like CAT scans or MRIs though...

    You can't have 'the best' healthcare in the world with a publicly funded system IMO. However, you CAN have the best cared for people. Here's my question to you. Do you think the health system of a country where 50% of the population has access tothe besthealth care is superior to one where...

    The quality of healthcare in the US is only superior for those who can afford it, not for all citizens. Furthermore, good cancer survival rates does not mean your health care system is superior. It just means you have better cancer treatment (again, for those who can afford it).

    Funny line in that article... In my mid 20s I did a lot of drugs. If in 20 years one of my hookups from that time decided to accuse me of drugging her in order to seduce her, I'd also have to testify that, "I bought drugs (mdma, cocaine) with the intention of giving them to women I intended...
