Ameritard Healthcare

This graph is from 1970 to 2008.

Why won't the US join the rest of the civilized world in heathcare?

We leech a lot from American medical research though.
So while your system sucks ass for you guys, it's fantastic for the rest of the world since we steal all your technology and pharmaceutical research.

I'd imagine if it wasn't for the one major power-house of the world not having socialized healthcare the rest of the world would greatly suffer. There would need to be a major shift to account for lack of research in socialized systems.

A FUCKING LEAF

(He's right you know)

Is there really no research in socialized systems? Looks like EU is wasting mad dosh on research.

HOLY FUCK

A Canadian with a well reasoned opinion

So should I expatriate to some nice country house in Europe? What can America offer me other than a hard life and a quick death?

There's not much.
My mom has her phd in nursing now and does medical research and generally you can usually expect 75%+ of your references to come from the US. You'd be hard-pressed to find research coming from countries like Sweden, Norway, France, etc.
Some is done in Britain, but not a lot. Britain is good if you're doing research on STD's since for some reason they have a lot of it.
It's usually all very internal and their research is almost 95% adapting american research to their socialized systems, hence it's not globally applicable. Basically they're researching how to steal other people's research lol

In Canada we have a mixed system of course so we do export a lot of research and because of things like "the great brain drain" we've contributed a lot to medical research despite having a partially socialized system. It just comes with the territory of being located next to the worlds largest hub of research though.

Much of my moms research is in fact just "stealing" the US research though. While occasionally she collaborates, it's largely adapting american studies to canadian systems.

if you get the worst ass cancer in canada they often come down to the hospitals here. the cutting edge treatments can't be beat but you have to be on your deathbed basically.

because 40% of the US is uncivilized

...

>socialism
>civilized

lmao

Why should I pay healthcare for those who refuse to pay for it?

Because in a socialized system everyone pays for it with their taxes. And since the system is nonprofit, it's cheaper.

And no one is deprived of life (an inalienable right, mind you).

Because they aren't collectivist.

wow what a super believable and good graph you've got there

You portrayed us so accurately its stunning.....Mind wiping me?

Is that you Molymeme?

No profit = no research, pharma aint cheap shit you can do in your garage on lunch money

Btw, life expectancy depends on various reasons - niggas on crack and kfc with cola dont live too long, unlike some cheese and wine french man

Canadian's hostile or condescending behaviour towards Americans is born out of a sense of inferiority and irrelevance. Canadians tend to be extremely bitter towards the United States, often going out of their way to criticize or belittle American culture and politics. They do this because the only real culture and politics Canada has revolves around the fact that they are not American. Canadians care very little for Canadian politics, the most important politics to Canadians is the politics of the United States. They spend their evenings around the dinner table condescendingly griping about the United States, just like euroshit countries that wouldn't even exist without the US. They do this because they know America is the best. No one cares to criticize their country's politics, not even their own citizens. Instead, out of a sense of inferiority, they lash out at the top dog.

>life

>a right

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

When I say profit I mean the billions of dollars spent on marketing of drugs and hooker parties for pharma execs. Of course the prices wouldn't be 1:1. But they'd be cheap enough that no one is being gouged and research can still go on.

A nation that collectively eats entire jars of pickles dipped in peanut butter on the daily improving their healthcare? No thanks. Better off spending it on sports.

Its an ideal our country has been striving for for 200+ years.

No one should die because they can't afford treatment or medication.

What's even worse is when the medication is easy to manufacture and the company charges out the asshole just because they can. Greedy fucks.
