I can work or not work any day I like. I don't need the government to give me permission. I am not begging the government to save me.showa58taro wrote:Come join civilization. It's pleasant, honestly.
Also, if you get healthcare, maybe you could try maternity leave. One day it might be as good to be a mother in the US as it currently is in Swaziland.

Are we men who control our destiny or are we sheep awaiting the slaughter? Your version of civilization is being a sheep in a bigger cage, but it is still a cage to those used to freedom. If you are used to being reliant upon society to pay for you, society paying for more is pretty appealing. Like the sheep getting an extra scoop of food from the farmer.
I don't have to ask the government for healthcare. If I need a surgery or medicine, the government does not decide if I get it.zombie wrote:what freedoms do you have, that seb does not have?Foo wrote:I can work or not work any day I like.

How is that different from any trade? We rely on engineers, builders, electricians, plumbers, etc.Jmac Attack wrote:Do we not rely on doctors? Everyone will have to see one, eventually. How do we go about having healthcare that fits everyone?
if sweden has no work around for people in need of healthcare, that is definitely a problem. that's not society paying for you, it is society deciding whether they wanna pay for you or not.Foo wrote:I don't have to ask the government for healthcare.

Freedom means people have choices. Choices are not without problems.zombie wrote:it's good that we don't have any problems, in the united states, regarding people receiving healthcare.
Would you believe I could create a ranking system that shows the US to be the best in the world? Why poke around trying to find negative opinions that reinforce what you already believe?zombie wrote:"The U.S. wasn’t last on everything. The Commonwealth team found U.S. adults have timely access to specialists, with just 6 percent waiting longer than two months for an appointment. “In Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, rates were similar, ranging from 3 percent to 9 percent,” the group said.

i didn't poke around. if you can give an article that shows different, then nice. show me? also, wasn't talking about where we rank on the list. i was specifically bringing it up about the wait time thing, which you mentioned in regard to other countries that have government run systems.Foo wrote:Would you believe I could create a ranking system that shows the US to be the best in the world?

yeah, people should have choice. people have the choice to not hire someone on to work. does that mean that someone is choosing not to work?Foo wrote:Freedom means people have choices.

If someone chooses to not work and not have insurance, and thus cannot afford care, is that really an issue society needs to tackle?
Yes. I have never heard of a single situation where an unemployed person was doing whatever it takes to find work.zombie wrote:yeah, people should have choice. people have the choice to not hire someone on to work. does that mean that someone is choosing not to work?Foo wrote:Freedom means people have choices.

fair enough. those people are making the choice to starve and die. that's a choice that someone would make for themselves.Foo wrote:Yes.

Don't get me wrong, I hear plenty of half-assed tales where someone is "doing their best", which is obviously not enough.
Three types of people:
1. Those who try
2. Those who do their best
3. Those who do whatever it takes
Amazing how easily people will let go when there is a safety net under them and how hard they hold on when there isn't.zombie wrote:fair enough. those people are making the choice to starve and die. that's a choice that someone would make for themselves.Foo wrote:Yes.
