Heat wave 2003 - Europe Death toll - 15,000 elderly Where? France, country with "best health care system in the world"!! To get proper perspective. Imagine 60-70,000 people dead in the U.S. because of stupid heat-wave.
You can't indemnify against death from all causes but everyone is entitled to health care and food regardless of social status or income. It is called HUMANITY. Ever hear it?
I can't indemnify against death of 15,000 yet it makes the sense to start a "loaded" thread because of JUST ONE DEATH? How about to make sure that you make little bit of sense before lecturing anybody about humanity you dumb smug maggot? Who killed the sunshine in your head braniac? P.S. Besides French themselves pointed to their HC as a cause of a disaster.
Why don't you tell her and her family that.. "It's just ONE [preventable] death." What's the big deal, right? It's just one!
Well this sounds like a great precedent to set. We will nationalize healthcare and if you need healthcare you fill out a form. It will go like this. Have you ever smoked? If yes, sorry no healthcare for you. Have you ever drank? If yes, sorry no healthcare for you. Have you ever drank carbonated beverages? If yes, sorry no healthcare for you. Have you ever eaten at fast food chains? If yes, sorry no healthcare for you. Have you ever eaten red meat? If yes, sorry no healthcare for you. Are you above you ideal weight? If yes, sorry no healthcare for you. Do you ski? If yes, sorry no healthcare for you. Does your car get more than 40 MPG? If no, sorry no healthcare for you. Are you a vegatarian? If no, sorry no healthcare for you.
Do you know what you entitled to? You are entitled to have a government that is not over-bearing and allows you to earn money and sets the conditions for economic freedom and growth. You know, the "promote the general welfare clause". Some shit like that. If some lazy bum chooses not to work, explain why he is entitled to food and healthcare and better yet, explain why I am required to pay out so he can have food and healthcare. It sounds like a crock to me. These liberal democrats are really something. They have somehow convinced themselves that they are entitled to the private property of another human being and they call this HUMANITY.
