Moore is a treacherous liar or just a useful idiot.

BTW, Greetings from Poland! We had real socialism not so long time ago (frankly, we still have socialism, but now it’s euro-socialism) and it really doesn’t work.

This is good when You need normal help – like when You have a flu or something similar. But when You will get cancer, your saved cash is not going to be enough. You are going to die – and that is true. I think very serious diseases should be covered by goverment – so everyone will get help. Rest You can take care of by Yourself.

If people were responsible for their own basic are, prices across the board would go down, and care for serious diseases would become more affordable as well. For the really expensive stuff, there is catastrophic insurance, which is something that can be handled effectively by the private sector.

The current track record of government care for really serious diseases is not stellar. Once we consider the “common good”, as socialists do, when people’s health is concerned, it is not in the best interest of the “common good” to spend a lot of money on seriously ill people, especially if they are older, which they are likely to be. The notion that “everyone will get help” under government coverage is an illusion at best.

I believe that socialism is a lie – so let us do not lie and say:
Old people should die. This is true – they should die because it is not in the best interest of the “common good” and not the best interest of the progress to spend a lot of money on seriously ill people. No one really wants to say this simple truth – I have another one: Lets us work till we will be unable to work, and then someone should put us down. Because this way progress should and will be faster. World is not black and white – this is not simple topic.

Huh? Not sure what you’re trying to say here or which parts are sarcastic and which are not.

This is also not about common good – lets us pay for normal treatments , let there be free market – competition. But serious diseases should be covered by goverment – maybe some sort of auction where companies could compete – and propose the lowest price for cancer treatments for certain year or etc.

Of course it’s about the common good. Once money is in the hands of the government, it’s common money.

And private companies working for the government to provide a service is still government. Just because we’re letting companies “compete” for a government contract, does not mean that it’s the free market. We’ll still have bloated expensive, money wasting bureaucracies limiting treatments because there won’t be enough to go around for everybody.

There was a good idea – with this food company – where employee was saving on treatments. But what if he or she would get a cancer? 1500$ a year, even after 3 years is not going to be enough for a treatment.
What then?

Don’t pay to much attention to Towczuk’s bullshit. He’s our local Polish idiot and clown. He believes in socialism because he has an interest in it, that’s all.
