   If you agree murder is bad, but you don't view insurance corporations denying critical medicine to people knowing full well they will die as a result, as a form of murder, then you don't in fact believe murder is bad. You believe rich people should be able to kill poor people and you should learn to be honest with yourself.

     @ciatmusings @QasimRashid The US spends more on health care per capita than any other country in the world. The insurance or spending isn't the problem. The grifters everywhere else in the system are. The pharmaceutical patent system, excessive diagnistic tests, the debt collectors. And let's not forget the terribly unhealthy lifestyle weighing in the system.

     @QasimRashid This is obviously complete bullshit. Insurance companies everywhere, as well as organizations like NICE are always denying lifesaving care to people. Their whole -job- is to decide what life saving care is cost effective. As we have to distribute a limited supply of care over the population.

     Could you argue that in the US there are too many people grifting profits from this? Sure. But denying some care and granting others - that's their job.

     @Schouten_B @QasimRashid is it possible to justify a limited supply of care in a country as predatory with its client states, and thus rich, as the US? They're sucking my country dry, yet we have a pretty decent public health system, how can they not?
