Not really.
I'm a liberal atheist and I despise the notion of our government trying to fix all our problems. Mostly because they are incapable of doing it properly but also because it creates a nation of spoiled weaklings.


Since you brought up the subject of atheism, do you believe there are no atheists in foxholes?

I'm just wondering.

If you're as rich as Croesus, the United States has the best medical care that your millions can buy.
If you're not, don't get sick.

I find your thesis to be highly arousing. Can I, perhaps, subscribe to your monthly gay newsletter highlighting the most recent AIDS treatments?

Why do wealthy people from all over the world come to the United States for medical care and surgery? Even our awesome Canadian neighbors come here when they need immediate medical care. Why? I thought their system of socialized medicine was so superior to ours.

Simple answer for a simple troll. Their system is as good or maybe even better then ours unless your a rich SOB. How many people out there are in a position where costs don't matter? Not that many actually.

Counterpoint--If American Health Care is so great, why are so many Americans going to India for Health Care?

(Answer is somewhat related to OP's question)
