Bjorn, I noticed you commented on Hillary studying the healthcare plan of Sweden, yet in another post (I forget what topic) you commented about the health care costs of America and it's not like Sweden. There is a health care cost problem in America. I watched a PBS special showing the different health care systems in different countries. They talked about the advantages and disadvantages of each system. Many countries including Great Britain have systems where their citizens pay little to no costs for health care. Every country has some type of "socialism" aspect. The Social Security program could be considered socialism. That doesn't make the USA as a whole a Socialist country or that Obama will make it as one. The checks and balances of the USA government is setup to prevent that. Congress would have to turn socialists and that's not happening at this time nor will I think it ever will.
you are correct , Hillary studied Swedens health care, basically because US`s system is NOT like Swedens, but she thinks she`d like it to be...do I? no, Has she lived it? no... have I lived it ,, yes!
I`ve lived both systems ,27 years there , almost 40 here, with a 'stint' of 18 mo over there , where I had the "opportunity' to live it again, having surgery...I have explained the surgeiries I have had in both countries too many times to do it again ,so you`ll suffer from being the 'newcomer'...just trust me...I`ve lived both ...and I`ll take THIS any day! here ,you get service, there ,you`re a number...and its 6 mo or more for an ASAP surgery! I do have relatives in Sweden (one a nurse), and Denmark and France ,so I have some to compare from
free, yes, you dont pay for it at the time, but yu pay fr it ALL the time instead
