Health care.

Jun 11, 2010 22:34

I'm just gonna leave this here.

Which country has the best health care? Which country has the worst?

USA, France, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, or Italy?

Additional Details: A lot of people have said USA, but we have the worst infant mortality rate, are ranked #37 in the entire world, and the lowest life expectancy of any of these countries.

I'm sure if we made it illegal to "die with dignity" our life expectancy might rise a bit. I'm sure if we made extreme sports illegal our life expectancy would rise. I bet if we made it illegal to drink caffeine when pregnant our infant mortality rate would drop.

What if we made candy illegal? I'm sure life expectancy will skyrocket! That is until government decides to kill people for smuggling candy bars to those who want them...

Also, how dare you use England as an example to bash American health care when if it was the other way around you'd criticize me for doing the exact same thing you're doing!

I meant to title that. starblade_enkai June 12 2010, 07:44:47 UTC
It ate my post when I posted and that's why I split it into two posts. This one was meant to title something like "this is what you should've said to the winner".

What the hell? That was unnecessarily rude and aggressive. We don't even know each other and you're pulling out the "HOW DARE YOU" because I had the nerve to copypaste something I read on Google.com? You literally know absolutely nothing about me whatsoever and you're sitting here trying to tell me that I'm wrong, and how dare I post this. And what's the "other way around"? Let's face it, America's health care is shit. This is not debatable; this is a fact. It's also a fact that all of those other countries are, in fact, rated higher on the health care scale than the US is. You can make all the excuses you want but at the end of the day, the richest citizens in the US still have a lower life expectancy than the poorest citizens in England, and your infant mortality rate is still worse than even Mexico's. You can cut it any way you want, pick at semantics and pretend like your personal opinion means more than studies done by dozens of independent universities in different countries across the world, but the US's health care is still ( ... )

Geez chill, it wasn't directed at you, it was a recommendation for what you should've said to someone else. I explained that in the post that was a response to the one you responded to.

But if you're going to be rude to me, I can be a lot less careful with what I say. You're wrong anyways. It's up to you to listen to what I have to say or not. But you claim that "we have the worst health care in the world and that's a fact" but fail to give a proper definition for what actually makes it so bad. This is because you don't have the proper philosophical grounding to correctly determine the proper definition of good.
