MODERATORS
They come to America for very specialized health care, and only that.
And you know why?
They won't be bankrupted for an injury or illness in their own countries, and not a god damn one of them is going to sign up for American health care once they look at the medical bills we get for routine shit.
So strange that while the Healthcare is free that it takes months on a waiting list to get basic surgery. That most of it can't be done there. Almost like the hospitals don't have the time or money to treat everyone. I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
Repeating bumper sticker slogans doesn't change facts.
If Europeans wanted American-style health care, every European country would have it. They don't. They'd rather not mortgage their homes for health care like we do.
There's a reason why the rest of the world doesn't do health care the way they do. They don't want to be left for dead when they can't pay a price-gouged medical bill.
Well that would be a huge bumper sticker. No idea where you found that before. You really think the people have a choice? The European people have less of a say about their government than we do.
