I know what you mean! In AK, if I teach for 20 years, I can retire, or 25 years with full medical. I have already taught 9 years in AK, so I thought if I made it to retirement, I'd want the full medical. But then, when I looked at the cap, I realized that I wouldn't have any medical left. Oh well, I guess I'll worry about retirement when retirement happens. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

We are very lucky in the U.S. But many people don't realize it. We have some of the best health care in this country. Comparatively to Canada, UK, Germany etc. who have socialized medicine, we are making leaps and bounds on new therapies, equipment, treatments that doctors and researches are so excited about working on. In those socialized countries, they can't do the work they want or need to do. They are limited in what money they spend, their salary, and they sit on their fannys mad as heck. Many of the great researchers, doctors, surgeons come to U. S. because they can practice for the good of the PEOPLE, not the good of GOVERNMENT.



So my words to congress - We don't need this socialized medicine. Just look at history, the answer is right there. Some countries that have socialized medicine are looking at what the U.S. has in health care and are recreating their system to match ours.....we are such a silly bunch to want this outrageous change the present President is pushing for. CFers, under a policy by this "idiot", you will be given a second thought. No new meds, treatments, you basically will be seen as a drain on the U.S. and the sooner you die, the better.

I'm one of your so called "evil socialist europeans" and I guarantee you that you have no idea on what you're talking about. Those words are typical of someone with old-fashioned and ill-informed ideas about politics in Europe and the Cold War era. You should understand that no such thing as "socialized medicine" exists, in Europe there is both public, and private healthcare systems, much like in your own country.

There is a lot of research being made in Europe, specially in those countries you mentioned, and not only those, many more, like Switzerland, or in the Nordic countries. You just have to look for yourself.

So I suggest sincerely that next time maybe you should do some research of your own before writing what you did. And no, I'm not for socialism, or communism, or any of those "evil" things that you wrote about. The part you wrote about europe being a social darwinist utopia is at least, hilarious, it's hard to take it serious.
