American Heath Care Ad Naseum

More reader comments on the USA health care reforms "Heath Care Safety-Net":


"Narrow minded thinking"? , "America needs to catch up"? What nonsense! Or should I say "Rubbish" so that the author understands what I mean. The only narrow minded behavior seems to be that of the author.

The author would have you believe that people are dying in the streets because of a flawed system. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The truth is that the health care system in the US is the absolute best in the world! Do not confuse an argument about who should be responsible for paying for health care and the quality of that care.

Most Americans believe that payment for health care is a personal responsibility, not a government provided "right". If you do not believe the same in your country, so be it. You can pay for it. The US may be being dragged by its current administration towards a Marxist/ Socialist
state, but the citizens are not going to go quietly.

So to the author, America need not catch up with any country. It leads the way, whether the socialists of the world like it or not.

I don't want to go into a long discussion as to why Obama's Health Care Bill is a disaster, (it is obvious that you are a left wing radical). The majority of Americans are against the Bill which Americans cannot afford.

PS . . . READ THE BILL

Actually, this US health care issue has a lot to do with the large American community in Subic. It should be noted that Subic still does not have a modern medical facility, but nationalities other than Americans still have their home medical safety nets.

If this universal health care law gets passed, Americans in Subic are much better positioned to invest and operate overseas, such as in Subic.

I was stationed here in the US Navy 1975-1980; I'm retired frtom the US Navy after 20 years.

I am not new to this country,(been here retired since 1995), the SBFZ, or to the issues of health care for retirees and others living in the Philippines. I'm not new to this site and I don't need any brush-up on the isssues affecting Subic But your heading led me to belive exactly what it says: "The Subic Bulletin – Straight talking, politically neutral, personally unbiased, and most of all..... PRO SUBIC!". Someones personal health care arrangement doesn't fit in there IMHO.

Maybe another Blog could be started just for that. For any retired US Military that are interested the is a YAHOO Group where that's what they discuss ad naseum.
