Singapore’s health care system holds valuable lessons for U.S.

Singapore has a low birth rate

In fact there articles writen that claim the singapores have less sex that people their age in other places

I cant personally verify that but who knows

Anyway it could nulify your idea about it becoming a baby factory

 

I am not suggesting that we adopt the singspore plan verbatim

But I would not dismiss it out of hand either

 

In the video, it mentions government encouragement of births through financial means. So, based on the video, I'd say, the Singapore government is encouraging births to finance government programs to satisfy the majority's fear of mortality. As in Venezuela, when the source of revenue you need to finance the socialist programs you promised in return for political power, runs dry, all hell breaks loose. I'm convinced, Singapore is on that path. They can alter it, find other sources of revenue, or go completely capitalist. Whatever the case, on their present path, they will need high birthrates to stay the course.

 

I dont think the dire consequences you predict will happen to singapore

If couples do not at least replace themselves society is in trouble

 

Hmm. It will be interesting to see if they develope the "brain drain" syndrome.

 

"yet has a healthier population"



it has a healthier population, because they make healthier choices.

 

There is a lot we could learn from the way other countries run their health care or let it be run. That's for sure. Eventually humans will figure this **** out.

 

I definitely think that's true. But then the question us why do they make healthier choice?

 

Not until they realize healthcare is not a right; it’s the responsibility of the individual, and not his neighbor .

 

The article is interesting. As it pointed out, the overall heavy handed involvement of the government would not go well, but the transparency in costs, medical savings accounts, etc., are certainly worthy of discussion.

Unfortunately, Democrats have always been opposed to health savings accounts, so that would take a major change in philosophy on their part to consider adopting that good idea.

 

Some of which are encouraged by rhe healthcare policy on singapore

 

Democrats want marxist socialized medicine where pointy-headed bureaucrats tell everyone what to do and when to do the it

 

I think the point is that healthcare is not an issue if the people are healthier. Here in the US, our diet is a main factor and much of what is making us sick is subsidized. Until we focus on prevention, we will continue to grow fat, sick, and broke.

 

We are a free nation, we don't need to focus on anything.

You want to eat crappy and get sick then more power to you.

It's about personal responsibility.

Sure, go ahead and warn them, "hey dude, eating five greasy cheeseburgers a day will give you a heart attack", but that's the extent that the government should be involved.

If people are too stupid to understand that then we need to ask ourselves if they are really benefitting our society in the first place. Perhaps individuals like that should be encouraged to eat poorly.

 

We are not free. You and I are being forced to buy products that are making people sick. One example is corn. Americans are sucking down high fructose corn syrup and you and I are paying for it. In addition to corn subsidies, 10% of food stamps, EBT/SNAP benefits are spend on "sweetened beverages". Once they develop symptoms, you and I are forced to pay for the pharm products to keep them sick. That is a triple subsidy by itself. 1 in 3 Americans is diabetic or pre-diabetic. If Americans weren't so fat and sick, healthcare would not be an issue.

 

yep, it is an outright theft.
government takes your money and pay it to private cartel.
that is how it goes in USA
most people are happy, they like to be corporate slaves

 

The solution: separation of state and the teh economy at all levels.

My life is not your business, tyrant.

 

Democracies are capable of mski g mistakes

 

Are you really trying to compare the healthcare in the US to that of second and third world nations... and then trying to say we are a “middle class family with 6 kids”.

We have the most expensive healthcare by sometimes a factor of 1000% in some areas while we receive less effective care with a deceasing life expectancy and you want to deregulate the market further...

Yeh you’re right, it’s the AMA’s fault

Jfc

 

Because EVERYONE knows, an Angel is LITERALLY incenerated by SATAN, every time a PENNY of one taxpayer's money benefits another. Jesus DESPISES government programs that feed needy children. Says right in the Bible! Jesus wants t6hem little children suffering now don't it?

 

slavery is not a democracy

 

It is a democratic system that was far from perfect but did eventually free the slaves

 

Well, if the system allows slavery (forced labor for corporations due to the fear of losing health insurance and all the money) it is a slavery. Yea, sure you can call it Democracy but if people have no control or any influence on the government then it is not a democracy.

 

Correction

It was slavery but corrected itself

 

Perhaps, if the government kept its hands off of my wealth, I could feed my child and take her to Atlantis. Perhaps then, I wouldn’t then need to get on my knees to pray to Jesus for salvation.
