... Ive never been one to believe cheaper is better, you get what you pay for dont you know

I think in the long run, most things that are more expensive actually save you money just because of their durability... for example, you can end up buying 100 cheap pieces of hardware or just buy the good, more expensive ones in the first place

Point is, you get too hung up on cheap health care and education, you may end up with crappy health care and a second rate education.... you can keep your socialism, I havent seen any compelling argument that is the way for the US

Subject: Re:

Czuch: Czuch... you are forgetting that your health care is ranked 37th in the world, yet is one of the most expensive systems in the world.

It's called having an unregulated system, that's costing your countrymen a fortune for a system that doesn't work.

You guys are paying about 15%+ of your GDP compared to our 8% (approx) and we are ranked 18th in healthcare.

I think you ought to get your facts right and be realistic instead of making statements based on bad data and unresearched ideas.
