A discussion about US health care costs Video Rating: 4 / 5
25 thoughts on “Health Care Costs in US vs Europe”
This comment makes no sense to me. The insurance companies that I voluntarily pay for are taking my money, but the government isn’t when it is using my tax dollars to fund someone elses health care costs?
Maybe so. But I think you’re missing the bigger picture. It is the Health Insurance company that is the sham. They’re basically middlemen stepping in and taking your money. We need to abolish the health insurance scam. Have the gov’t pay for our insurance; and have private citizens pay out of pocket for elective treatments.
Good video, but it seems to miss the fact that there is an explosion of obesity in the US which impacts health care costs . When you have young people getting type II diabetes, when people in their 40′s, 50′s and 60′s are in and out of the hospital with multiple PREVENTABLE health problems, this drives health care costs way up. This is not to bash obese people, but it is a fact that they cost the health care system (and ultimately anyone who pays for health insurance) a lot of money.

I didn’t say bob was a cat, and I didn’t say that Jake was saving his own life. It was just a matter of convenience as abortion is.
If it is the life of the mother than sure, its ok. Or if its rape in my opinion the baby is not her responsibility to protect and nurture. But it is still fundamentally a human being.
Its your child at conception. Its really impossible to draw the line firmly anywhere except at conception. So what if it doesn’t have a brain yet. It is building one. Humans have to start somewhere. You would abort any child that would have a handicap? Uh, ok. Just don’t claim you are doing it for it’s sake. It would prefer to live and the vast majority of handicapped people do prefer to live.
I don’t think the government should be paying for people to run for office.
Evolution is taught in all US schools. But learning evolution doesn’t have any implications for politics. Unless one is to draw from it the importance of survival of the fittest. But that wouldn’t work because academics hate a pure free market.
Whose ignorance is shown when you are unaware of the dramatic difference between the need to learn a language when one lives in a country of 300 million people that speak overwhelmingly one language (which happens to be the most important language in the world) vs the need to learn a language when you are in the middle of a community of people speaking many many languages. I said it is more important in Europe to learn a language. You are not aware of how unimportant it is here.
Why are you asking me? The only thing that matters is what the patient wants. If you don’t know what they want don’t assume that they want to die.
I have a question for you? Are you against the huge lobby influence in the USA politics? And should the politic be state funded(campaigns included)?
Belgium is split in two parts, a poor French part and a rich Dutch side. To be political correct, teachers have to able to speak both languages fluently. I also said she had allot of psychology where she is mainly thought how to teach to children a certain branche. She might have particular political bias, but that doesn’t mean she will be able to express that? It will be obviously be better than in the US, she will be able to give the evolution theory.
Languages gives me chances to get an international job. It gives me a commercial benefit that I can speak the language of my trade partner. I’am most certainly not a language teacher and my girlfriend neither. Because of this “It’ll go my way” arrogant behavior the BRICK country’s don’t really like the USA. Learning the language of your neighbor is the way to show your respect. Language gives you a benefit in export, which is the best way to grow as an economie.
What would you prefere? Die 4 days earlier without pain in comfort with you family. Or die painfully and slowly? You can choose either way, hospitals don’t profit by killing you earlier.
This is your opinion, while I see it as a potential human. You can not compare puberty to having nearly no brain yet. I’am sorry I assumed you were religious. I’ve said my girlfriend and I are vegetarian. I’am vegetarian because I find it horrible to kill, just for my comfort(meat). The moment, my live depends on killing an animal(vitamins), I will do so. If my future child would have a handicap or my wife would be having a desease I would choose an abortion.

Learning multiple languages is not a good thing when you don’t have to. You are educated but cannot figure that out. Its basic logic. The time you spent learning languages is time you could have spent doing something better if you will never use the language. Of course, anyone teaching foreign languages would be biased towards claiming its important. (I know its more important and useful in Europe but that is not something to be happy about.)
How does speaking french have anything to do with knowing what is or isn’t true?
How is the evaluation of her french ability going to prevent her from teaching her students to have a particular political bias?
I see the fetus as what it is: a baby in a different stage of development. We go through many stages development in our lives. Some children have gone through puberty. Some haven’t. Doesn’t make them less human.
You just guessed that I am religious. No. I can, unlike many other educated people, think for myself. A fetus is fundamentally different from an egg.
Sometimes a mother has to flee the nest? And the mother is doing this for who? Certainly not the fertilized egg.
If you shorten lives from painkillers you are still killing the patient.
It is science that says there is no difference between a baby when it is inside rather than outside. Why does it matter how developed the baby is? Science also tells us that the being is created when the sperm and egg join.
My girlfriend studies for teacher primary education. Its a bachelor of 3 years where she has allot of psychology. She has to speak her french just as fluent as her native language (dutch). She can’t make one mistake or she’s failed. And this is just the beginning. Just want to say, the teachers are very highly educated and they know what they’re are doing and how vulnerable kids at that age are.
And how would that come? If you first isolate the rich from the people by asking huge entry fees. Then they attract all the geniuses from the 3th world to boost their statistics up. When the criteria are having ass much geniuses as possible, there is a big chance you might win. The stupid part is, those geniuses go back to their country’s of origin. In Belgium everybody is accepted and learns multiple languages, the education are by other standard maybe even better.
