        Masturbating over doped gold medals while having no health care and getting killed like flies.

        Oh and condemning russia.

        It's very amuzing.

        If we take europe as a whole US is scratching the bottom.
        If we take europe and russia as a whole....

        Just to make it clear.

        I didn't say it is impossible to have 100% national health care. I say it is a good idea, in order to aleviate some of the burden to have deals with private clinics.

        Yes you get to pay maybe 10 euros.

        We are under no illusion about who the real enemy is

          I'd prefer a society where one doesn't have to have money in order to get treated in the same level as a white person

            You die in the private clinics.
            They don't have the equipment or the expertise to deal with a god forbid serious implication.
            These cost serious money.

            They are basically fancy death hotels for rich people to get their money stolen.
            It's their privilege

              And that leads us to an interesting question.

              Why is there no universal health care in the US.

              Some say it's because they follow an inhuman economic model that promotes crude self interest. That they are nothing more than a thinly regulated jungle, in societal terms.

              I hold a different opinion.

              I think it is basically because of the severe un-homogenic society they have and because of racism.

              Seeing as the burden of having no health insurance falls squarely on specific groups.

                    Well... While I have big problems with the way the US health care system is operated (Obama care is a good start yet doesn't go far enough), I would definitely live here over Russia. Russia is an absolute disaster with a vastly lower life expectancy and collapsing health care system that Putin simply won't fund.
                    For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)
