Now, some comments on Health Care from a good friend of mine in Finland
The wall doesn't help your society to function, health care does. By paying taxes for the hospitals to function you don't have to worry about how you pay the hospital bills when you fall ill yourself. The likelihood of you not requiring medical attention at some point of your life is basically non-existent, but the likelihood of you being unable to pay a medical bill when you do is highly likely.
Not to mention that taxes are secure funds for the health care to exist on, which means the budget can be controlled.
The case of Finland's current government trying to privatize the health care system in Finland is a fine example of how the currently upheld system is cheaper, more effective and has higher standards compared to the privatized system that would make services more unavailable while making them more costly to the government and the consumer.
The only one that benefits from privately owned health care are the companies that own the businesses. To everyone else the system is highly counter beneficial and costly.
I'm not saying Obamacare was perfect. It came out as perfect as the opposition let it, really. The insurance policies are straight down retarded in America.
I don't really understand how the Americans are so divided by mere brainwashing that they keep kicking themselves in the ass constantly. The corporate lobbying is your common enemy and yet all of you act like The Flat Earth Society defending some sort of ultimate truth that isn't based on logic or facts, but opinion alone.
Again, I'm not defending Obamacare. It differs a whole lot from how our system operates and maintains. We get our medication cheap. We get our hospital bills cheap. There are no middlemen like insurance companies in it, so 100% of the assets get used.
Hospitals are constantly expanding and are sponsors for almost any event in the community due to their "non-profit" status. And that's why you should be interested in our implementation of said system, that gets void of that problem entirely.
In our system hospitals are owned and maintained by the government with tax money, which makes it so that expanding said system comes out of need, not by a decision made by someone that owns the hospital or handles the insurance policies. Thus we citizens are able to partake in the deciding factors of this budget by voting. Your citizens hold zero power over your health care budget and have to just suck it up when they get sick.
This is why our system works better than yours. Because there are laws that make sure that the health care is for the people no matter their status. Because everyone maintains said system and benefits from it. It's due to well thought policies that we have a win/win situation in health care here in Finland.
Same with education; due to taxes people get free education, which eliminates the problem of universities hoarding money, for example. Again, 100% of the assets get used to actually educating people and no middle man benefits from this.
Both policies uphold the welfare of our citizens and make said platforms cheaper to upkeep.
And we can do this, because there are no middle men taking that 30 000 € for every student.
I'm going to tell you something else, too, we are headed towards a more socialistic society. Technology alone is going to put millions of people out of work. Just look at the transportation industry where everything is going automated. What we have now is not self-sustaining. It’s time to stop fighting the future and start preparing for it. The problem is that most of you don't even know what real Socialism is. I think there is confusion between true socialism and the term "socialism" that gets passed around the media. American society is already a pretty socialistic society. And it has been for a long time.
