Public healthcare VS private?

In a fully utopian society where everyone has the same sort of problems which take the same amount of time and medicine, yes, I'd fully agree ... but that's not the world we live in. I live in Canada where they do in fact have "free" health care. Well it's not really free, it's paid for with taxes, but in the end I don't pay to go see a doctor or get an X ray and other stuff, which saves me time from hitting a bank machine.

This is pretty much the only advantage. With free health care, doctors are putting less effort into cure since they don't really get paid more to do better. Many doctors have even given me the wrong medication just to be quick.

Also, you remember when you go to an amusement park and there's long annoying lineups for all the rides? That's going to happen with free health care. Every tom, dick n harry even if their problem is just that they have a small cut on their finger will be lining up at the doctor's office, with no real priority level except for emergency or not an emergency but you could be squirming in some real pain while the person with a finger boo boo gets ahead of you because you didn't get a chance to pay more to be in a lineup where someone wouldn't pay to have their finger checked.

Free health care seriously sucks, I've never received worse service in my life. Please let me pay a competent doctor already! Although I completely agree with your values on this, yes, everyone's lives are equal and yes everyone should be getting the best treatment without paying but let me ask you this.. who wants to work their butt off with no pay in this modern world where money drives everything, even the food we can eat and our shelter, and who wants to wait countless hours using the scenarios described above?

Maybe if the world ends and we start over, this can be a better option but right now, I assure you it's not. -- shyam.

I agree with your point of view... but perhaps it might be better if the question you ask wasn't already designed to attack a person for their opinion. What I like to do is ask the question, then detail the question in a fashion that, though I may have a very specific range of answers I look for, is not disparaging the beliefs of others. Then include my opinion separate from the details of the question and try to limit it to how I feel about my beliefs.

Again, I side with you on this, but this question seems to attack the credibility of anyone you ask to answer it before they give their answer... which brings me to wonder why ask it at all? Additionally, I also can see how there are some people that would have a valid point in disagreeing is aalso why I bring this up. But the tenor of your line of questioning indicates their opinion will be judged harshly.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
