Which countries offer free healthcare to all of their citizens?
I keep hearing about this "free health care" that every civilised country in the world, except America, has. Yet, I can't seem to find one country in which doctors, nurses, hospitals, and other medical professionals all work for free. Russia may be the closest example to this. Having grown up in Spain my ENTIRE life, until I came to the USA for college, I know it's far from "free". In Spain my income taxes were TWICE what they are in the USA. I paid an average of 40,000 Euro a year in income taxes. With that amount of money, I could have purchased my own insurance. Instead, my tax Euros had to go to paying for lazy bums to get their health care and for unwed mothers with 5 children to get money to eat. There is no where in the world in which health care is FREE. And I hear democrats over and over and over again referring to the "free" health care of other countries. Why? Do you think these tax dollars come from the sky? Is it because you don't understand that work = money, and that the people paying for your socialist programmes have worked hard for their money? Why can't we get all of the lazy poor people and illegal immigrants get off their duff and get a job? Is it because that wouldn't be PC?

You're absolutely right. There is no such thing as free healthcare. The only difference between us and them, is they are taxed up the butt for the "well being" of others. I, personally choose to take care of myself. I pay into my personal healthcare, but if this bill gets passed, I will be paying in to my own, as well as EVERYONE elses. Doesn't seem right to me.

I completely agree with you. My tax dollars are going to have to pay for someones health problems due to their choice to smoke, do drugs, or whatever. There are so many people who won't get off their butts and get a job to pay for their own health. They sit around waiting for handouts from Obama. There is no free health care. Someone has to pay for it..and the government sure isn't going to pay for it. So that is where our tax dollars come in. Americans are very ignorant and they believe the government actually gives a crap about them and their health. No, all the government wants is MORE control over our lives. Our taxes are going to go way up years before we get this "amazing" new health care.

Obviously there is no such thing as free health care. Even worse I have a feeling that our new "reformed "health care would end up like some of our other systems, for example SSD. Those who honestly need help end up have to fight for years to get it, if they can get it at all, while those whom are just too lazy to work get a handout right away.
