issue is the US system. The merits and misgivings of your system are valid in the discussion only from a "what if" point of view. Nothing more since the discussion is about US healthcare. Your system is simply for comparison and we care not what you think is best. unquote Who exactly is &q...

Knun, The paedophile/viagra issue you brought up.....that is a human rights issue i guess....crazy? of course it is...but its not the fault of the NHS,its the fault of crazy politicians and human rights system.......loopholes in the law.....should we any more dismantle the NHS because of that partic...

Don, You can't see the forest for the trees. Why the hell is there a special session for anyone? I thought they are all Brits and this is a public pool? That's exactly the damn problem! Can't you see the implications of this type of asshat tripe? Knun, There are also special session if you wish to ...

Again ,the response is a tad hysterical...............................................".Swimmers were told last week on the centre's website that "during special Muslim sessions male costumes must cover the body from the navel to the knee and females must be covered from the neck to the an...

We are not talking about letting someone off who has committed a clear offence, but where it is unclear if an offence has been committed.

much ado about nothing

Joe, That is the socialist slant in action. You said it. "they all have the right to be treated, fed, housed..." NO, they have the right to earn a living as best they can with the skills thay have. If they don't have skills they better damn well learn some quick. Why do they have the righ...

Hi Knun, Im wasnt happy with the way our socialist leaning government does some things when i posted the remarks uyou quoted....I still feel the same now....nothing has changed for me in that respect. The Nhs can be regarded as a socialist thing I guess,but Britain even under the most right wing gov...

Introduction By several measures, health care spending continues to rise at a rapid rate and forcing businesses and families to cut back on operations and household expenses respectively. In 2008, total national health expenditures were expected to rise 6.9 percent -- two times the rate of inflation...

Knun, Im not conforming to any socialist mantra,and its not about patriotism either,i...ive no time for mad dog patriotism, my country isnt always right in everything it does,just because its my country,im quite prepared to give credit where credit is due,even to some aspects of socialism. Its about...

I wonder if i can fit this in ......statistics from who 2009 Infant mortality rate U.S 6.7 per 1,000 live births U.K 4.8 per """"""""""" life expectancy U.S 78 U.K 80 acute care hosp beds per 1000 people U.S 2.7 U.K 2.6 practising physicians per...

Hi, Just like to say,as it seems the general attitude amongst some quarters is to pour scorn on...and treat with contempt the British national health service. It says a lot in Britain that whatever govt gets in here,no matter how right wing it is,it would never even contemplate for one second trying...

I "over posted" still i cant edit it so....apologies

Hi knun, Of course im not as informed about the american system as i maybe should be.Im observing from a distance plainly....However ive read of people having to give up their homes to pay medical bills,people being cut off from cover because they reached their benefit limit,or being refused cover b...

Knun..hi, Watched the u tube link........without knowing obviously the exact details of the proposed health plans,i can only comment generally...it seems to me that speaker was employing scare tactics for the purpose of self preservation for himself as a physician and for his colleagues in the priva...

It looks like my use of the english language is not very good. I thought I said that there is "no reason for any American citizen to be with out medical care". My Ideal would have all who could not afford the cost of insurance having their insurance paid for (or partialy paid for due to n...

Any working class people (in my opinion) who vote against ,or disagree with, health care for all,regardless of the ability to pay are like turkeys voting for an early christmas. What on earth is there to complain about? As for it being free..of course it isnt.....the government funds it,and of cours...

LBJ Youre quite right,there is no room any more for individuality.We are all supposed to conform,either to the left or to the right, doesnt even appear to be a middle any more :lol: If you are to the right,you get labelled as a racist,fascist pig....if to the left then you are a communist ,pillow bi...

Every one of the western countries donate aid to third world countries,every one of the western countries gives assistance-or offers it-to countries afflicted by natural disaster.....its not only america that does so......America -britain -australia-france -canada and the rest send in troops on vari...

Hi knun, Don, you realize your gallbladder could have killed you if it burst. To wait fourteen months seems insane to me. I notice you didn’t respond to the question of those that he bumped in front of by paying out of pocket. The socialist conscience has limitations I guess. Well, im not going to c...

Hi knun ,sorry for my botched quoting qand unquoting effort,i never did get the hang of it.but hope its decipherable.
regards

Hey Don, But comparing paying for health care and paying for food,etc isnt really fair.Anyone can go out and find a job that will pay enough to enable them to feed themselves,rent a room ,however modest etc.To find employment that would fund say $10,000 worth of cancer drugs a month for a wife ,son...

hi knun, No problem with pateients who receive free health care being obliged to pay back in some form for what they have recieved.But comparing paying for health care and paying for food,etc isnt really fair.Anyone can go out and find a job that will pay enough to enable them to feed themselves,ren...

Knun, There is a lot in your post worth thinking about...Im pretty sure though that printing more and more money is the road to the assylum,as you say if other countries still view our currencies as valuable,its ok....but I cant see how they could.Surely if a country for instance doubles its money s...

Thanks for the replies...seems as though we are all in for a rough ride,in my opinion probabley for a generation.I dont really know how on earth either country is going to pay all these billions in britains case, and trillions in americas case, back. What happens when whoever we borrow this money fr...

Just wondering here,how bad are things in America on the employment (unemployment) front.....Its ok to read the headlines from across the water....but statistics and figures can sometimes be a bit confusing from a distance....wondered about the view from those actually in the front line..yourselves....
