That was sarcasm for PE...not directed to you particularly. It seems that every time there is a discussion with PE involved, we end up hearing how inferior the US is to France.j07950 said:I don't think we do...I think I've said that before...that wasn't even the topic to begin with...it kind of escalated that way...such a shame
Don't think you need to...Since 1998 when I was still in the US and the health care was quiet bad you've done really good so I think you're going in the right direction...it should get better and like no1tovote4 the costs is something that will hopefully get worked on...CSM said:Tell you what, why dont you get the French government to come over to the US and provide some care for us poor unfortunate Americans?

Yeah I know...don't know if that is his aim...maybee he's just not expressing himself correctly...It's a hard thing to do in english to express yourself without chocking people or missinterpreting what your trying to say ...CSM said:That was sarcasm for PE...not directed to you particularly.

I guess what makes me so ...testy...is the fact that you guys make it sound like we have people keeling over in the streets. Our health costs are indeed high, but very few countries put as much effort into medical research as the US does, which goes a long way towards keeping costs down. Also, the European countries are far smaller than the US geographically and with samller populations. At first glance that would seem not to matter, but when you consider the cost of transporting supplies, building enough facilities, and accomodating the number of people, the geographic size and number of patients does matter.j07950 said:Don't think you need to...Since 1998 when I was still in the US and the health care was quiet bad you've done really good so I think you're going in the right direction...it should get better and like no1tovote4 the costs is something that will hopefully get worked on...
Maybe the French government should be helping him with that problem too!j07950 said:Yeah I know...don't know if that is his aim...maybee he's just not expressing himself correctly...It's a hard thing to do in english to express yourself without chocking people or missinterpreting what your trying to say ...
Our government is already broke...that doesn't mean we aren't taken care of...things are being done to reduce costs but without cutting the quality and access to health care...hopefully it will be fixed but health is one of the most important thing to the government here.dilloduck said:If you depend on you govt for your health you will forget how to take care of yourselves. If the government goes broke, so does your health !

I totally agree with what you're saying, it obviously is more complex, but states have a lot of power so maybee this should be put into the hands of the states but with the same quality of care and coverage. But like I said I know i'ts improved a lot and this takes time, we can't expect this thing to be solved overnightCSM said:I guess what makes me so ...testy...is the fact that you guys make it sound like we have people keeling over in the streets.

Don't really understand what you're saying. But if we cut back health care and get more income then it's the same thing, we'll be paying more for our health care.dilloduck said:Use some of that money Chirac stole to supplement your income

Like I said before the state of our state isn't great financially but this doesn't hurt our health care...dilloduck said:Simple---your system is dependent of the health of the state-----MY health care is dependent on me !
So if you loose your job you're in deep shit right? It's a lot of responsibility...dilloduck said:Simple---your system is dependent of the health of the state-----MY health care is dependent on me !
I agree...it has been good...as long as we stay away from which country is better, we seem to have some pretty good discussions.no1tovote4 said:Wow, I think this is one of the better discussions we have had on the board! I might nominate this thread as the Thread of the Month next month.
