I can see our future from here!

Nothing like patterning our future health care on that of England while it spirals out of control into a financial quagmire...

I sure hope I don't get really sick...

While admittedly problems exist w/ European health care systems, only the wealthiest Europeans would trade their socialized health coverage for the private-insurance-or-no-insurance system the US had before the recent law was passed.

A very dear friend here (25+ yrs. living in America - a few years illegally, then an illegal marriage to stay, or be deported) who is British will not give up his mother country citizenship because.....I quote......."I might need the system in the future." Yet, he doesn't want to live in England, doesn't like it there any longer, doesn't contribute to the system, but readily seeks ways to work the system. His older brother who has just been diagnosed with Alzheimer's lives in England with his wife. The wife is furiously busy hiding the assets...about 500K lbs. He speaks of this like it is a right and volunteers this information.

So, this is socialism and free health care? UGH~~~~~~~ See what this can and often does breed? People are conditioned to 'get what is rightfully theirs' even though through certain criterion and parameters would not be a beneficiary of the system.

The same friend brought his aging mother over here and she was living in an assisted living home for about $5K/mo. She came illegally. His argument to her illegal status was that she was contributing to our economy. Again, he volunteered this info.....almost as if seeking validation.

My point in sharing this with you is that people can justify anything when it comes to getting their fair share. Breaking laws......any laws, anywhere. As long as each country allows the laws to be broken, they are enablers and setting the precedence. It's a sad state of affairs.

Your friend is a butthead and his family is full of leeches.

No matter what system or rules we enact, there are always people who try to game the system.

I am sure there are people making fraudulent claims to BP right now - should we stop paying any claims because of it?

Approximately 1% of all money spent on Medicare is fraud - should we stop that program?

No, what we SHOULD do is stop enabling people like HIM and make it socially unacceptable (as opposed to cocktail party conversation) to "work the system" - be it for mortgages, foreclosures, tax purposes, etc.

I am not a propoent of ceasing a program. I am a huge adovocate of prosecuting for fraud, however....whether illegal immigrants, medicare, etc........and, in many cases, both or multiple system violators.

A very dear friend

"A very dear friend..." : he must have a lot of Very good character traits to counter balance his admitted fraud and deception to remain your "very dear friend."?!?

"So, this is socialism and free health care? UGH..."
The problem you highlighted is not "socialism" per se, rather it's your "friend"'s fraud & deception.

Not many intelligent people give credibility to the Washington Post any longer as it's been proven they are an arm of the Obama White House. Read Journolist Scandal.
