Then you might have some credibility ranting about your preceived moral problems in US healthcare.
I "preceive" that you are again scapegoating and blaming victims. I don't understand why you feel the profit margin is more important than someone else's life, but I guess we agree to disagree. In your case, Mammon it is.

The law, which aims to reform hospital management and the organisation of France's healthcare system, had been contested by members of the French medical community who argued that it would bring too much commercial consideration to decision-making in hospitals. Translation: more privatization and therefore, competition.

I don't understand why you feel that habitually consuming mass quantities of fat calories and empty carbs is more important than saving your own life and reducing your negative impact on our health care system and our economy, not to mention any future caregiver's back and knees. Do as you please and to hell with your impact on anyone else, especially their finances, especially when they have earned more and kept more than you have, no matter how hard they've worked for it, how many sacrifices along the way they've made, and how much of it they already give away to charity. Greed manifests in many forms, Beavis. Gluttony is one of them.

I could throw a bunch of Bible verses at you, Iky, I could use simple logic, I could use facts. None of those matter to you in the least. You're a sheep who will defend to the death the rights of the wealthy to continue shearing you over and over, no matter how egregious and shameful the method.

I think this "light of the world" needs a new light-bulb.

I've been reading Beavis's rants and insults about the "crisis" and "immorality" in US health care for over a year now...how health care in this nation and that nation is so much better, costs less, and people live longer under those health care systems. The choices he has made for himself and continues to make for himself are the very choices that helped to create and maintain not an insignifant part of the "crisis". He finally got called out. Boodoughnutholehoo.

[quote]Hey, if we adopt Japan's system, YOU could be one of the thousands of patients rejected for emergency treatment at an understaffed, underequipped, and overcrowded hospital and never get to an MRI machine!
This is ridiculous, and really past the point of any rational argument. The US has demonstrably the worst and least efficient healthcare delivery system in the world. It is twice as expensive as our nearest competitor, yet more people die of diseases that could have been prevented with adequate basic health care than anywhere else. http://health.howstuffworks.com/medicine/healthcare/insurance/10-health-care-systems1.htmThe proof has been posted, reported and discussed ad-nauseum for 20 years. Anyone who still speaks to the contrary is simply trolling.

What a sanctimonious ad-hominem. Regaining any credibility will be an uphill battle.
