I am sorry but you cannot honestly believe that America has the greatest health care in th world. I assume you have never been in a position when you couldn't pay your medical bills anymore. I get the feeling that people are acting in a very selfish way. Why is it so hard to put oneself in others schoes? People who have money can afford a good health care but what about people not so lucky? What do you tell a guy who just was thrown out of his contract and has to pay staggering bills now. I believe it is time that people start realizing this fact. Furthermore, Americans get to keep their current health care, so where's the problem? The health care bill keeps the insurance companies from denouncing your contract due to former health conditions. Health care should be affordable for everyone and not depend on your income or social status.

Chosen to reduce profit? So even one's health is subject to the relentless pursuit of money, profit and exploitation? Where do you draw the line? Companies are selling drugs with VERY hight profit margins. In my opinion every human entity should have access to cheap drugs and medicine.

I have been in a position where I could not pay for healthcare, and needed it. I went to the free university hospital and waiting 6 hours in a waiting room with a fish bone stuck in my neck. It sucked. Today thanks to my healthcare, I would get seen right away.

But I never complained about it. I got the healthcare I deserved when it was free, and I get what I deserve now after working hard all my life to obtain it.

To be honest, I was grateful for the free healthcare even though I had to sit there. I didn't really deserve any of it. It was nice of them to provide it.

Healthcare is not a right. Nothing that requires others labor for your benefit, is a right. For example, if you look at the constitution, and you were the last person on earth, you would still have all those rights.

You would not have healthcare. How can it be a "right", if it's a service one must provide you?
