Minority.
I'm sure U.S Healthcare isn't exactly perfect, despite paying for it.
MyTie, you know what I mean by Free Healthcare, don't try mongering anything please.

MyTie, you know what I mean by Free Healthcare, don't try mongering anything please.lol. Yeah, I know exactly how you are defining 'free'.
Free: Costs a lot of money.
I think that about sums it up.

But it's open to all - Fair.
Anyway, I don't really want to hijack this thread into a healthcare discussion, so if you'd have the decency to keep things on topic....

As I said, minority. There are sick bastards everywhere, you think it's just in the NHS?
In the U.S, if you didn't have the money, you'd still be left to die most likely.
Also, MyTie, why do you seem to be acting like a pompous bastard with almost every post you have made since your return? Honestly, I'd expect more of you.

You listed 'free healthcare' as something that is unique to your country. All that is unique is that your doctor's bill is redirected through your government with a surcharge added on to pay them to add more regulations on what you can and can't have done.
Calling that 'free' is like shooting yourself in the foot and claiming you just ran a marathon.
Edit: You're a little mad that I'm pointing this out to you. You'll get over it.

You're not waving a pocket watch in front of my eyes. You are not trying to hypnotize me. You were never here.

No, I am not. It is free in the sense that when you visit a hospital, or need treatment, you do not have to foot a bill.
Tax may be used to fund the system, but it's much more equal than other countries - Such as your own.
As I said, the NHS has its flaws and there are some awful loopholes, which have been linked. However, I still believe that a nationalised healthcare system is better than a fully privatised one which is still flawed, despite the price tag for a visit.
I'm not a little mad that you pointed out something, as you put it. Don't patronise me - I've not been rude to you, would the same courtesy be so much to ask for?

What did I say that was rude or a personal attack of any kind?

There's such a thing as implied meaning - your posts are full of it.
Re-read your posts, try to see the tone you are giving off. You may see my point then.

I think you are reading to deep into my words. I don't mean you direct and person offense. Never have.
On the topic of healthcare, I've made a new thread, so we can stop clouding up this one with offtopic clutter.
