My insurance isn't that great, but it's still pretty good.
Pretty good in that I am typing this from the cafeteria while waiting for an appointment at the Dana-Farber Cancer Research Institute. The sixth leading cancer research facility in the world.
Those muh frehdomz types your talking about probably don't even have coverage and frankly have problems keeping perminant employment.
Two points:
1) Though it is presented as "free" to the recipient, none of the things mentioned - healthcare, paid time off, etc... - is actually free. Someone has to pay for it. In this case the government pays for it with other peoples' money because the Government does not generate it's own income, it only takes it from the working citizens.
2) Many, if not most, of the advancements in medical science that improve quality of life and life expectancy are the result of the capitalist healthcare system in the United States. Without the incentive of profit, which is virtually non-existent in countries with a socialized healthcare system, many of the advancements we all take for granted would not exist or would be far less commonly available. You're welcome.
