The good old NHS.

Re: The good old NHS.
This waffle is incoherent and pointless. What the hell are you talking about? Who said anything about birth rate? Look buddy, this is an easily verifiable fact: breast cancer and prostate cancer survival rate are higher in the US than the UK. You don't like these facts, stick your head higher up.......
And yes, survival rates might well be higher, but we also know that those results are also skewed because they're also only including people who get treatment.

I'm on about my observation that you are rambling on about a subject of which you have no experience but are happy to apply plenty of your ideology to. The system you describe is quite simply not the one lived day-to-day by Americans. My only intention is to highlight to folks who haven't lived in America that you are talking utter crap. There's no point in debating you since it will be a frustrating task for me and will merely make you angrier.

The US should remove the regulation of health insurance from the states level and introduce a sensible basic packages that meet most people's needs. Then they will have competition and reasonable pricing. The worst case scenario is to nationalise the delivery because the state can't be trusted to deliver mail on time once unions and lobbyists come into play.
You're still wrong, on the most basic of things, but oh well.

I did not mention birth rates, I mentioned infant mortality. But don't burden your processing power too much with such intricacies as it may lead to overheating. You are as accurate as you ate factual. All over the place, buddy.

I fully support your material approach to education / knowledge. It is quite clear that in spite all this hype about this being Information Age, knowledge is impossible without direct experience.

Re: The good old NHS.
You don't choose NHS you have it by default and in case of many it is paid by others so it's a bit of a no brainier for those. It, however, is a crap analogy as renting is not there by default for all, only for some fortunate enough to fall in lower income brackets where work is nowadays frown upon and doesn't pay.
A while ago Jeremy Clarkson had a good idea to cancel NHS for those on over £30k pa and make them buy own insurance (or die on the street like millions of Americans). Not a bad idea (combined with his other ideas to make unemployed work) to take half the population out o f the NHS as this would make it perform to a reasonable standard at least.

I joined in what I thought might be an interesting discussion. It turned out that it wasn't, it was just an angry shouty misinformed person. Can't be bothered with that really, but anyone is still free to post anywhere.
You are cordially invited to visit the USA forum, for example.

Anyone can post anywhere. There are no geographical requirements.

May I please mitigate that that thread was not exclusively about one person..
Nice to see you Elinor.
