Here is a list of countries with universal health care and the year it actually started. It probably will be met with Ha Ha from many of you guys- I feel like in todays times Health Care for all should be a right in this country. When I said they were first rate countries, well, I must confess that a few of these countries are definitely not considered first rate by most measurements.
Australia 1975
Austria 1967
Bahrain 1957
Brunei 1958
Canada 1966
Cyprus 1980
Denmark 1973
Finland 1972
France 1974
Germany 1941 ? seems odd
Greece 1883
Hong Kong 1993
Iceland 1990
Ireland 1977
Israel 1995 We give Israel millions a year . They have Government health care. We do not. HMMM.
Italy 1978
Japan 1938
Kuwait 1950
Luxemberg1972
Netherlands 1944
New Zealand 1938
Norway 1912
Portugal 1975
Singapore 1993
South Korea 1988
Spain 1986
Sweden 1955
Switzerland 1994
United Arab Emirates 1972
United Kingdom 1948.

None have tried to do away with their health care.

Every one of those counties rations their healthcare unlike us. This is especially true at end of life where the costs are greatest.

Mick Jagger had his heart surgery in the US, btw. Complicated issue but those countries have challenges ahead for sure.

What was the name of that kid in England that could be treated at a hospital in France or somewhere, but they wouldn't allow his parents to take him there? Wish I could remember the details, but I seem to recall that it had something to do with red tape associated with the UK's UHC.

Agree, it's a very complicated issue. It sounds great in theory, but once you dig into the details, it's not so black and white.

Seriously. Take a few minutes to see how much Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Walmart, GE etc. etc . and etc. paid in taxes. After scooping in billions, they actually received refunds. True American, take the corporations side . You need to change your avatar pilgrim.

Nah, I 'll keep my avatar. Apple, GE, produce products. They should not be in the group. They pay plenty of taxes and normally for a period of time if they open a plant in a state or city the "free market" allows them to negotiate what they pay a state or a city in taxes for a period of time DUE to what they will be bringing to that city or state. Ole aoc is loved in her own new York district now. She ran that bad ole amazon out of town.

I'd like to contact Mick Jagger soon so he can revert his flight here where he was going to have his heart surgery.

You only get a tax "refund" if you pay too much in taxes. People are complaining about the size of their refunds this year....why? The government didn't keep and use so many people's money all year. The people's take-home pay his been more all year but many are still complaining.... Oh well,

I will give you the education system info you tried. Heck you and your ilk has been in charge of that for decades and decades. You have shown me what that education system has produced. So far it is not good.

Most college courses are useless, this is just another on the long list.

Google stuff, save yourself thousands unless you’re becoming a lawyer, medical field, engineer, few others
I thought maybe the OP was BS’ing, so I Googled “angry white male studies”.... Nothing!!!!! I then did a search on Yahoo and found plenty of links to confirm what the OP posted.

Pretty sad and pathetic that KU or any self-respecting educational institution would have any such curriculum.

Also sad and pathetic that Google would keep someone from finding this on the internet.

Because there’s a line in those countries. Here you have to pay (far from perfect,) but you at least don’t have to wait (and possibly die doing so.)

If you couldn’t google it, then you are the problem. You really think google hid it from you?

No dumbass. I’m well aware of how Google works. I slooowly typed “angry white male studies”, and as I got to the word “studies”, the auto-prompt links in the search box disappeared. I even hit the “Search” button after typing it all the way out and got nothing.

The same thing happened after the Mueller Report came out, and if you Googled “Trump indictments” you would get nothing, but you would if you did the same search on Bing or Yahoo.
.Edit: it’s coming up now but it wasn’t earlier....

Dude, they have no choice for the most part. Geez wake up. I have lived in a few of those countries. (In the "good" section of town too.) Third world comes to mind in every instance.

Please also let me know where you traveled, how long did you stay? Did you actually receive medical treatment?

I have in all. I get regular blood drawn due to having too much iron. I have had regular wrapping tape, the tape you wrap packages and also duct tape used. (It was white). I was told to just put my finger on the blood tests for 5 minutes and it will stop bleeding.

Oh, the gauze.....toilet paper. Watched them take it off the role. It is all purpose though, restaurants use it too for napkins.

Went to a couple dentists offices too. The dentist worked on three straight patients before he washed his hands once. (I saw him every minute.) No rubber gloves either. I MADE him wash his hands.

Please before you tout what you have not actually seen in person, stop it. You can hurt others with your uninformed opinion stated as fact. In this and many instances Google is NOT Your friend.

I'm not a Repub, but I agree 100%. I have a college fund for my kids, and if they tell me they want to major in Art History, Humanities, Sociology, or Classical English Literature, I'm not paying for it.

Get a degree in business, education, engineering, finance, communications, etc., and I'll support it. I'm not paying for them to dick around for 4 years.

Are you one of those angry whites you liked earlier?

Nope, I read and I experience a lot of what I say. I am lucky in that I get to travel. Our health care is ranked 54 in the world. Our education is ranked in the 30s. We are first in murder rates, incarceration and drug problems. Climate is an issue , not because of cable news but because of science and I mean dead accurate science. Unlike you, I do not go by our orange balloon presidents gut feeling.


Dont judge me, I guarantee I travel the world more than you do, and while Americans are somewhat spoiled in what we have, we have reason to be. Things in the US are far better off then alot of other countries.

I'm all for unbiased news but CNN is about as unbiased as Higgins (most American news is biased). Gun control is more about raising kids with morals and responsibilities than taking everyone elses guns to me. They can take my gun when they are brave enough to come into my house and get it. If you dont want a gun fine dont own one, but dont cry because I have alot of them. The caveat to your gun free safe free zone though is when the criminals come to my house Im gonna tell them yours is unguarded and save us both alot of hassel.

Please elaborate on how you have been discriminated against


Ummm, just some statistics for the last ten years you libtard::

- white Caucasian males now make the least amount of money in comparable jobs to minorities and women

- a white male is 2/3 less likely to be hired for the same position in comparison to a female or minority and 4/9 less chance to be promoted

- white males accounted for over 80% of all arrests (if you normalize amount of population they compromise) in the last ten years

- you are 3 times as likely to go to prison for the same crime if you’re a white male in comparison to minorities

- only 10% of senators and congressman that have been elected to represent the US in the last ten years have been white males

- only 10% of white male applicants are accepted into prestigious universities


The list goes on and on snowflake, it’s been proven without a doubt that if you are a white male in the US that you have low job prospects, low ability to advance in your job, and a severely decreased chance to even be accepted to college to even get a job in the first place

We simply disagree on probably everything political. I have a different world view than you do. To me , you are a shill for the NRA. I am not talking about taking guns from everyone but I am talking about common sense gun laws.

Because of your experiences in , you didn't mention where, we should deny, or make it too expensive, health coverage for citizens in this country? We simply disagree. I am not changing you and in no way will you change me. I have a different world view than you.

Trades offers much better futures than useless majors in college if the student has to take on major debt

I hear people always mentioning trades here, and while I agree to an extent, the reality is most people don’t want to do manual labor for a living. It’s exhausting and wears the hell out of your body and whether fair or not it’s not that respected in society with some groups. It’s just not really a desirable option for the large majority of people.

You can have socialized healthcare or open borders, not both. You’d think Europeans would be smart enougb to realize that.[/QU

Please share where you read this research you quote. I am guessing from SEan Hannity. Just share the source of your info. It is total ********. No one can actually believe the junk you just spewed.

No reasearch just logic. If you have open borders and healthcare, people will immigrate to abuse the system. If I were a person living in third world and got to live off a first world country’s healthcare, I absolutely would over staying in my home country with little to no health system at all. Second off Sean Hannity is a media buffoon.

Whatever, uh, I don't whine. Too busy working. What you continually do is "whine" you must have the time, that is all you have done here. Like you're not been given your fair share.

Oh, John Wayne as I imagine was about like I am now. He wouldn't say things on the internet that he could but wouldn't as he'd rather say them to your face. (I can only imagine in this case about John Wayne. I never met him. He is America personified.)

Good luck to you in any event, you will need it...

-european countries benefited from the US footing the bill for their defense against the soviets for *decades*...we subsidized their healthcare system. Sad, really.
