How most Scandinavians feel about the American healthcare system.
In Scandinavia we pay for healthcare though our taxes, which means we all pay for each other, and nobody thinks twice about going to the doctor because weve already paid for it. We also have private care for those rich people who don't want to wait in line.
But before you declare the American system OMG!!! EVUL!!!, remember that we Scandinavians also pay the highest taxes in the world.
We up her like it the way it is, but you Americans will have to decide for yourself.
I saw this coming! And sadly, it's spot on. Unfortunately, the voice spoken by America in the comic is mainly by the wealthy 10% of the population while the remaining 90% is wondering why Obama hasn't improved health care yet. Oh, well.

So if you care to find me... Look to the Western sky...
Canadian's don't agree with the American health care system either. Ours is like yours... we pay taxes out the ass but at least (most of the time anyway) we're taken care of.
I do think that we should have healthcare for everyone who needs/deserves it, but here's my thing: I don't like the fact that the government is trying to make everyone go on one, singular, government own healthcare system. Call me paranoid, but I just don't trust the government. It reminds me too much of 1984 as it is!

In the absence of weapons with which to impose an idea, the only weapon left is reason.
Actually, it's not. But I certainly think we should be headed in that direction.

Well if our healthcare system we're like yours I wouldn't have a problem. Obama wants to give it only to some though. It should be all or nothing.
Then again.. I do like money in my pocket and we have A LOT of freeloaders here who don't do anything to deserve more help.
