victimization no realism re the economic realities with regards certain population within the US. To improve your country, economical as well as socially and penally you need a more diverse college population whom graduate.

right, and you DON’T do that by driving education prices up with government programs. look how well the government has done at getting us all health care. you think they are going to do better at education? you must know something i don’t.

rapsody, government programmes are essential a covenant between the student and wider community, mutally supporting each other at different period in there economic cycles. With regards US health, you have not tried comprehensive free health care, as in europe and look at your communities as a result.

we havent tried universal health care because it doesnt even work in countries half our size. they are ALREADY rationing health care in canada and the UK because people are having such a hard time getting a doctor to see them. anyone who has any money still comes to the US to have any major operation because where they have free care you have to wait months to see any kind of specialist and you will literally die waiting. government programs are a failure not a savior.

do you think its just a coincidence that anywhere the federal government puts their hands, prices skyrocket? (education, health care, energy, food) while services left to the free market (cell phones, computers, etc) the prices always go down or stay steady?

rapsody, you have been misinformed, in the UK all healthcare is free at the point of delivery, no payment for child birth, emergency care ect ect. There are issues over funding but the fundermental principal of free universal health care free a the point of delivery is alive and well. Unlike your ailing insurance based corrupt health care system which excludes the weakest most vunerable in your society.

no im not misinformed, check the stats. 1.2 million people in canada cant even find a doctor. people have to wait months if they need a major operation. check the stats. what do you think universal care would be like in a country with 250 million people?

i agree our current system is terrible, but it is because of the government enacting the HMO system. not because of the free market.

and yet we still have better care than any country with a “free” system.
