If Social Security Had Been In Private Accounts The Stock Market Drop Could Have Been A Disaster

Can you point to any place in the world with more advanced medical techniques, procedures, or technology?

Actually, we may have the best medical offerings, but they're ONLY available to those few who can afford such offerings.....PLUS, the US "steals" the best doctors from other countries with the lure of making tons of money with our run-away health care costs.

Ultimately, if we did have the best health care system delivery, the life expectancy in the US should be much higher than 34th in the world.

According to the chart below, the United States ranks 18th in terms of life expectancy. The 34th ranking you refer to is a bogus statistic published by the WHO that ranks healthcare systems largely by irrelevant criteria like how socialist they are.

Those of us who have buying power will want all the cheap help that will be available as baby boomers realize that SS isn't enough to live on.

I'll be looking for gardners, housekeepers, cooks, & mechanics. I know who will be applying for those jobs.

I think that's what Marie Antoinette also stated once.......LOL

Careful bi..all those "socialists" are all around you; sleep with one eye open at all times..............or better yet, don't sleep at all, socialists will steal your soul.

 

[Andylusion]

When you take out car accidents and homicide, the US has the longest life expectancy in the world.

Nah.......given our substandard health care system, our poor diet, our lack of exercise, our pollution, our gun-loving climate.....we are 34th in the world on life expectancy....somewhere between Columbia and Kuwait.

So that's your myth.... Now the facts are.... If you take out fatal injuries (car accidents and homicides), we have the highest life expectancy in the world.

Based on OECD numbers, these are the facts. Now if you want to live in myth world.... fine... but don't be surprised if I continuously correct you with the facts.

But ultimately every system is two tier. Listen, I don't care what system you put in place, there are always going to be those that can afford better.

Hospitals accused of creating 'a two-tier' health system after accepting payments for treatments available on the NHS

UK Hospitals accused of two tier system. People who pay.... get better care. What a shock.

Timely Medical Alternatives | Timely Surgery at Affordable Prices

In Canada, you have companies like Timely Medical, which offers pay-for-service health care, to Canadians so they can avoid the years of waiting at the government care hospitals.

All systems are ultimately two-tiered.

When Cuba's Castro needed surgery, he didn't go to the Cuban hosptials, or even the tourists hospitals. Castro had hired a private doctor, flew a cargo plane to Latin America. Collected all his stuff, equipment, staff he needed. Flew him and the staff, and the equipment back to Cuba... exclusively just for Castro. And then sent them all back home.

You think the average Cuban had that?

Danny Williams, Canadian Official, Seeks Heart Surgery In US

Danny Williams, Canadian official needed surgery, discovered it wasn't availible under Canadian government health care system.

He came to the US for treatment. What a shock. Tell me... what did all the people in Canada who had their money taxed away to pay for "free health care" do when their treatments are not available in Canada?

They died.

Two tier. Every system is two tier.

Guess what.... everything in life is multi-tiered. I can't afford my RX-8 sports car either.

That's great.

If they overthrow the government who will pay them the pittance they would be receiving.

That is really what this conversation is about (those of us who actually are interested in a true discussion).

It is about making things better.

You index right to "You want to make Wall Street rich", which is not what has been said.

Pull you head out and listen.

It doesn't allow you to compare them. I'm not going to look into three dozen pages to get the data. We'll just assume you couldn't find anything better than what we posted.

Rather interesting that the data show that wealth will gain you 14 or more years of life.

Yeah, that's right, you can't tell us.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Yes, Chile's Private Pension Model Works, Big Time

"Pensions: In Chile, a major study shows the nation's private retirement accounts provide workers pensions worth 87% of their salaries, 73% of that from profits on savings. So much for the canard about the perils of markets."

Chile: using free enterprise. If only we were as open to free enterprise as Chile

If Only

Right.... and now levelize that data for fatal injuries.... and we'll talk.

All you did was post raw data, that doesn't account for the differences in culture and life style that we were talking about.

Keep attempting to justify the millions of lives ruined due to healthcare debt. Oh, so fatal injuries mean nothing? Other countries obviously do something right.

Wait for Dad2three to be all over you with a bunch of bullshit propaganda claiming the Chilean system is worse than Social Security.

If you can't post a graph like the one above, then go **** yourself. You can't even tell us what position the U.S. is in based on your data. The data in my graph is sufficiently recent enough for the purpose of this discussion, and it shows your claim is dead wrong.
