Are you using universal healthcare synonymously with Medicare 4 all/ single payer? Or are you saying that everyone should have healthcare but there are different options to achieve universal?PJ_Soul said:rgambs said:

People who think they work hard and earn everything...oh man, these people...Oh, okay, 3rd category: selfish jerks. Although they could arguable fall under the moron category too, since they fail to understand that a healthy society overall, where some aren't suffering due to an inequitable healthcare system (human rights violation) is good for them. I don't, however, include those who simply want to know the details of a smooth transition. That would suggest to me that they support universal healthcare, but just want a transition to it to be as painless as possible.0 -

CanadaSwedish ambassador to the US:
"It was clear from the very beginning, that there were a bunch of misunderstandings about how our judicial system works."
Swedish ambassador to the US again:
She (the swedish ambassador to the US) has flown back to Washington where, among other things, she will meet congressmen who demand the release of the American rapper.
- We understand that there are still misunderstandings. The focus will probably be on the issue of bail, says Olofsdotter to Kulturnytt.
HAHA. So American congressmen are #freeASAP:ing for the media attention and the attention of the black vote(?) but didn't care to know basic fundamental things about the swedish judicial system when they first started tweeting and NOW STILL DON'T KNOW HOW THE LAWS WORK. But still feel the need to yap for attention.

Whats is it like to know everything? Because when it comes to taxes that Canadians pay, you have no fuckin clue, and you have no clue about Canada. I could care a less how much you pay for health insurance. Do not like how much you pay, then work toward a better system. Jesus, you need to buy better Cannabis...you act like you know everything, when in fact you have NO fuckin clue how Canada works...PJPOWER said:
The only way you get “free” healthcare is if you do not pay taxes and still get it (even though you are mooching off others at that point), and from what I understand, Sweden taxes are pretty high. Also, I was thinking, I have the option where I work to work less days throughout the year. I choose not to because working more days increases my yearly income. I guarantee companies factor in how many days you work into your overall yearly income. Are you sure you are not getting scammed with a lower overall yearly income due to those “payed vacation days”?WhyNotSweden said:I'm at my third holiday week of 5 payed (little more $$$ than when working). We get that every ear, If i manage to leave my sofa and slip, break a leg, I go to my doctor and get that taken care of, for free. So I think I'm staying in Sweden :-)
Oh, yes, we keep that damn rapper in custody, he wont get a chance to skip his sentence. He can't pay his way out of here as in the US :-)
If the data in the article below is accurate, and he makes a good case, if Sweden was a US state, it would be comparable with Kentucky in regards to disposable income:

Except we do not view taking care of our fellow countrymen who for whatever reason are down on their luck. As a matter of fact, I am confident if a referendum were held today on expanding healthcare to include Pharma, Dental and Vision, I think it would stand a chance of passing...also, healthcare is not a social program its a human right...PJPOWER said:

CanadaDaniel Suneson decides to indict in Stockholm on Thursday the three Americans. The suspicions are assault of the normal degree."I believe that what has happened is a crime, despite the objections of emergency protection and provocation," the prosecutor said in a press release.- In order to reach that decision, I have, among other things, reviewed the films that were in the investigation. Worth noting is that I have had a larger material to judge than previously available on the internet. In addition to filmed material, there is also support for the plaintiff's information through testimony."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0

We seem to travel the world more than you do - while not having an uniquely shitty health care system, but instead having one that all of the modern world has a variant off.
Also look at your health care prices you ignorant little person:
And look at you living a bunch of years shorter:
But being egoistic and selfish and not caring about other people I guess is the US most important trait. You are living the stereotype.
And yes, again - In sweden you can hunt, and own rifles - we have 70% forrest.Post edited by Spiritual_Chaos on"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0
