RE: January 8th a conversation with my friend. - Family and Friends helping each other for the better
Many Americans sure like to complain about Socialism or any program that even resembles Socialism... but it's in times like these, where Socialism really comes in to help. The truth is most people won't ever be able to pay for such treatments, even after a whole life of savings.
If the Government isn't there to help on these occasions, we might as well live in Anarchy and stop paying taxes.
Personally, I don't have a problem in paying taxes, if they are used to maintain some basic services and help in the average citizen through hard times, illness or poverty.
I do, however, have a big problem if I see that I'm paying taxes just to make the rich even richer. I can't stand for that.
Socialism has never work throughout history.
My complaint in the post is about a corrupt system that favors selected individuals over others. Our healthcare system is regulated to that end. Insurance company and government with no responsibility or accountability by design.
No, it didn't... but there are several countries with some Socialist policies regarding Education and Healthcare and they work really well. I guess balance is the key.
However, expecting that an average citizen earning 10.000€ a year will be able to pay for such expensive treatments is illogical to me. It sounds like a Death Sentence.
