Considering how the government is currently running the VA I'd rather not have universal healthcare.




think about this... they mysteriously lost a bunch of military records too,
records that resulted in denial of thousands of veterans benefits, then they
'lost' 2 years of someone's emails that would show corruption in some of the
higher levels of government agencies as well as some many other things lost
and misplaced or simply poorly administered such as finances

do we really want government to handle anything for us?

Maybe the common perception that an incompetent government is inevitable is a self-fulfilling prophecy. A two-party political system probably doesn't help things either.

I think it's just a fact historically that unchecked government power degrades them into authoritarian cesspits.

So basically you see government healthcare as a slippery slope towards authoritarianism?

Here's a comparison of the two countries' old-age programs.

Damn i like throwing canadians shit as much of the next guy but you guys definitely have us beat on social policy. Gotta say your pension and healthcare systems blow ours out the water.

I wonder how much of it can be attributed to your relatively small population though.

How the hell is a country supposed to thrive if it thinks the government is the enemy?

The government is your ally. It is there to defend your rights, protect you, educate you, keep you healthy, find ways to make the citizen of the country grow richer, connect cities, etc.

It also a social goaltender. It tries its best not to let people slip through the cracks. Its a safety net.

That's what I don't get from you guys sometimes. Why would you feel the need to defend yourself against your own elected government???? Who the fuck convinced everybody...



Your view of government is so overwhelmingly naive I just don't even know how to approach the fallacious axioms that underlie your distorted views wherein Government is our friend and only wants the best for us.  :huxleyfacepalm:

Newsflash: the Government is comprised of people.  When you give people power, they tend to become corrupt.  As a result, the Government on the whole is corrupt.  And I do not trust corrupt institutions with anything having to do with my personal liberties and freedom.  :sorry:
