Yeah that private healthcare option scam they have going in the States sounds like a great idea.

Government-funded healthcare? Won't somebody think of the poor insurance companies?

I wonder, Kojiro, do you have health insurance? How comprehensive is it? Do all your friends and family have it?
What would happen if they didn't, and they became ill?

You have consistently agreed with the original tenant of Andy's argument - The current sysyem is broken - however have not really suggested an agenda for positive change other than completely amending the economy and culture of America.

Ah. so you want a system that means YOU don't have to pay! I see. we've all been suggesting systems where the cost is spread equally amongst the populace, you want system where only the rich pay, and the rest exist on charity. Very enlightened self interest. This is exactly why the state gets involved, because the average working joe is enraged that they're being charged more to cover people who aren't paying. I would liken it to being in a collision with an uninsured driver.

Based entirely upon the arguments you have been putting forward during this debate. namely that the old system worked because medical staff still treated those who could not afford it due to having surplus cash from those who could. i've now developed the opinion, based on everything you've put forth so far, that your argument ultimately supports your current predicament, and has not been formulated with the greater good in mind.
