I never discussed how MANY obese patients there are in a particular country, I said that people don't mind getting obese because they know that they will still be entitled to free health care. IMO, if there was a financial penalty charged by the kg for obesity for every hospital admission, we would see a reduction in the number of obese patients being admitted. So you're not the person who wrote this?: "Socialist medicine has seen a huge increase in obesity because people know they will get treated regardless."

Donald can bring in cross state lines insurance because he isn't owned by them. That is what will bring competition and lower fees. I like socialized health care, but there is no way the US establishment is going to allow it at present. Yeah, cross state insurance is a brilliant idea. Because you know states won't compete for the business of insurance companies by offering them lax regulation as an incentive to move their business to the state that regulates least. Because it's not like that's what happened with credit card companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time of the implementation of Obamacare, we could have easily gotten something better than what we did. People wanted it. People believed in Obama and a "Vote for Change"! Now that we have that catastrophe, you guys say that "its the best we could do"? Shiiiiiiit Yes Obamacare must be the worst thing that has ever happened to Americans, but wait, wasn't this one of your arguments in the topic you started " think hard about moving back to the US" ? If I go to the hospital I guarantee you I will be taken care of regardless of my credit card or cash "guarantee". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is of course all off topic so my last comment on health or obesity on this thread. When I was young not many were fat and virtually no one was obese in my country, now huge numbers are fat, and many are obese, including many children, so yes, a huge increase under socialist health care.

I'm not an American but will you be guaranteed been taken care of regardless of your credit card if you haven't signed up with Obama care or another more expensive insurance option?

There is a top running on Obamacare. I apologize to those who have posted, but it is time to get this thread back on track.
