There is a human tendency to abuse "free" stuff so on that alone the current health care system is not such a good idea just like any "all you can eat" dinner probably isn't going to be very good for one's weight/health.
There is more incentive for individuals to be mindful in prevention when it will hurt them in the wallet than not.
overeating and getting health care are not the same old man. Play a pick up game of basketball and you end up getting hurt, this can ruin your life if not on health insurance.
Sorry I didn't put in enough context in the first place. The part that really bug me in these Gov. Health insurance and this podcast also mentioned it is that no precondition and flat rate type of setup. I am against that setup not against offering health insurance as a real insurance that the person's health condition do affect the premiums.
If we have a right to free healthcare, does that mean that I have a right to all the free weed I want?
It is medicine, after all.
hmmm? thats a good point..
I don't know, can you find a qualified medical doctor that is stupid enough to go along with this idea?
Can you find a medical doctor that will give you all the oxycontin you like because it's medicine?
Okay, back up a little, and never equate Oxycodone with marijuana ever again. Marijuana is medicine, oxycodone is soul poison.
Also, my point was rhetorical. Where do you draw the line between what we are entitled to and what we aren't? Should people have a right to complex, arduous brain surgeries? What about preventative care? If healthcare is a right, then the state ought to provide me with a personal trainer.
At the very least, the government needs to be providing much better consumer protections. I called a doctor once and asked how much a procedure would cost. They couldn't tell me. If I go to the mechanic, they can give me an estimate....
Other countries bargain with pharma companies to get good deals for the citizens, and they put limits on profit margins. In some places, like France, medicines are treated as a public good, and therefore they are regulated so that all people can access them.
Cannabis is a real medicine, and yes, everyone should have access to it, whether they grow it themselves or not.
You really think you have an honest mechanic? Lol I thought the joke was that there were none. Doctor's can't give you an estimate precisely because healthcare is regulated out the ass, and at any given time they don't know how much it is going to cost—only that it will be expensive. And it doesn't help the doctor do their job if the person they are helping is aware of the hole they're in. Things would be much cheaper without any government regulation. Look at OKC surgery center. They started accepting cash payments only and no insurance. As a result, the price of surgeries has gone down drastically. You can get a new hip for the cost of a used car.
And you missed my point. Access to cannabis and free cannabis from the government are two very different things. Also, I don't hear of too many people going to France for their exceptional healthcare or benefitting from their miraculous pharma...
I was diagnosed and treated in France for MS for three years. Far superior to what is available here.
Did you go to France for their exceptional care? Or did you just happen to be there? Because people come to the US from all over the world for special treatments and surgeries. And they get drugs made by (German)American pharma.
Healthcare is failing ! But succeeding!
People are dying by the millions and drug thugs are making billions! FDA Approved!

loved this video! recently watched it on youtube
Why do communists only drink herbal tea?
Because proper tea is theft.
Dude, wrong. Proudhon was not a commie. Property is state/collective possession, not proprietorship/individual possession.
In the vid, Jake states he has read "Freedom!", and yet the concept of "communal property" has to be addressed? Maybe Jake should listen to the audio version this time.........................
once you accept... or even entertain the concept of "communal property", you have just accepted slavery as legitimate in social arrangements. Who becomes the master is only up to who can muster up the force to take the position.
.
People who are extremely poor are incapable of buying their own healthcare. People with disabilities who are ineligible for social welfare and cannot work will not be able to pay healthcare. Poor people can fall into the sinkhole of poor health and never get out.
It's not about people being entitled or having some kind of inherent right to healthcare, it's about what kind of society you want to live in. Should we only educate the rich since the poor can't afford good education since the market may not be capable of providing this? Maybe. Do you want to live in a country overflowing with poor, uneducated and unhealthy people? A country hindered by crime, disease and ignorance?
I don't. That's one reason I pay taxes in order to help those less fortunate.
I tell you what Walaoeh......
Instead of telling people what to do to change the world, YOU BECOME a DOCTOR and you can treat who you want for free.
Understanding FREEDOM is NOT about telling people what to do!
I work at several clinics. I treat patients on the daily basis. Poor people eat poor food and really don't care about their health. Even when I tell them to eat properly and focus more on nutritional health, which is the cheapest way and most effective way to stay healthy but GUESS what? THEY DON'T LISTEN!
Clearly having read freedom didn't resolve their issue, that's why he sent you this question!
