Before people died at today's retirement age. In fact, I read someplace that the car compaities that provided insurance and pensions to their retiring employees had no problem with people retiring at 65 and dying at 66 in the 60s and 70s because they only paid for these people for a year. Today people live for 20-25 years past retirement and the companties cannot afford that. So yes, old people just up and died.
And as for children, well into the 20th century the mortality rate of children under 5 was atrocious. They had poor health care options and more children because they lacked family planning options and also, the children died more often. How many of your grandparents or great-grandparents had a sibling or two who did not live to be an adult? Quite a lot I would think.
My husband is American and I am Canadian. We live in Canada because of the health care but one day I am sure he'd like to live in the US again. But if we decided to have a child there would be no way we could live in the US until she/he were 2-3 years old.
You shouldn't do that. When you come at me with "racist" instead of attacking my points you just reinforce my belief that I'm right and liberals are wrong. All you have to do is tell me how it's moral for a third party to steal from one person in order to give to another.
Sorry, the way I worded it sounded like I was opposed to healthcare. My point is that I just hate that fucking figure of speech. It makes it sound like "oh its just pennies" when it's a lot more than just pennies. I don't know if that makes sense really, its more a pet peeve than anything, but it just comes across as bullshit.
Awesome post A+ would read again.
You won't get constructive feedback or positive debate from this post but you make a very valid point. You'll be attacked for being Canadian and people will tell you you don't know what your own system is like ( long waits etc ), but don't worry me and the BG Red Army gots your back
I'm wrong because I call you out on your obvious blunders and ineptitude at making valid points. You made a blanket statement and I countered it, proving another point in the process.
It hurts so good, I know, please change the topic again in an attempt to
Post Office again? That's a good one
I don't get the whole 'long waits' argument. I call my doctor and make an appointment. It's set within the week unless I'm actually sick and then it's that day. I've had to go to the hospital for various things from concussions to broken wrists to a back injury. Never had a wait longer than 3-4 hours for the more minor stuff and the more serious stuff I went right in. I had an x-ray done for my foot (I have a heel spur) and I went the day I got the paper from the doctor and it took about 45 minutes from start to finish. None of this costs any money (up front, it comes out of taxes I'm sure), except the one time I had to go in an ambulance for the back injury, then I had a bill from the ambulance. Can't remember amount but wasn't much.
OH YEAH AND THE WHOLE THING ABOUT TAKING BRITISH LAND AND CREATING OUR OWN COUNTRY, SEEMS PRETTY MORAL I MEAN FKYA AMERICA AND ALL THAT YOU GUYS SEEM HAPPY TO HAVE LAND TAKEN FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY, PRETTY MORAL IMO
