[QUOTE="klein, post: 618317, member: 23950"] Mine ??? I'll answer them anyways. I only lived in countries that have government healthcare, and love it. (pretty hard not to, unless I moved to Turkey, or some African Nation, and USA ofcourse) Never need to worry about a bill, or about being unemployed and uninsured therfor. A job alone shouldn't "manage" your healthcare. I like the freedom, working for anyone or for myself, without the need to worry about extra insurance costs. All industrialized countries retire in a much younger age then americans (probably due to health insurance). 2) Sure, I'm for a private option. And it's comming 1 day here. Those with money, will be able to fast track care. Besides that, Canada would be able to import medical tourisum much more. Since costs will still remain much lower then that of the US. Sofar, it's limited to things like Dental, lasik, plastic surgery, etc, for others comming here for cheaper treatment. 3)bad behavior : Can't really do that. Keep on eye on what someone eats or drinks. Nope. But, maybe have more quitting tools in place ( institutions to lose weight, quit smoking, drinking, etc ). 4) Already inplace. If you smoke or drink. Those extra sin taxes are enourmous here (over $10 a pack of smokes, $10 a 6 pack of beer). And yes, more and more it's in debate, if fastfood should be sintaxed, too. I kind of agree with it. Whats another 10% ? But where does it end ? If I went to a restaurant and just ordered appetizes, such as chickenwings...? I think a tax on food wrappers and containers might be more appropiate.
