Hey! That's a novel thought! The working class should stay working! Maybe they should stay working and not go on the dole and live the socialist life with the philosophy of "the government will take care of me." And why would anybody care what the people in France think anyway?

WHat I meant by "stay working" was "to not get all uppity and get the bright idea to start their own businesses." It was in response to somebody's claim that there are no independent businesses in "socialist countries". In fact, there are more "Mom & Pop" type businesses there and their society is not owned by Wal*Mart.

Nobody is crying. It would be much better to keep civil. These discussions are interesting, but pettiness will get them locked. We all understand your opinion. I hope that you can except that not everybody agrees. It is better to agree to disagree than it is to call names or insinuate that others are crying if they don't agree with you.

Anyone who wants Nationalized Health Care really needs to educate themselves on such a plan.

Do you want the government to tell you what medicines you are allowed to take? What care you are allowed to receive? Essentially your life is in the hands of the government. If they believe a treatment is too expensive then they will not approve it.

Stop being a pawn and a drone, and start thinking for your self. Nationalized Health Care is a bad plan and I pray we are never subjected to such idiotic ideals.

NEWS FLASH: Obama is not the answer and Government never will be.
NEWS FLASH #2: Obama is not leading our nation, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are the real leaders, Obama is just their well spoken pawn.

Where did I say that other countries don't have Wal*Mart?

No government official tells me what drugs to take for any ailment
no government tells me what treatment I can receive its not an approval system here

the price of a treatment is not even a part of the question when it comes to treatment

my doctor and I decide what my treatment course will be and what meds to take ...not the government...I think that may be a common misconception about health care

Your opinion is noted, but may I add that you may want to educate yourself on the UHC of Canada, UK and others, and maybe read this whole thread as may from countries with UHC disagree with your blanket statement.
As for you political opinions, they are probably better post on another forum, not here.
