Fat is not the problem.  The problem is that she tried to gain weight on purpose.

Medicaid and Medicare are national health systems in the US, which take at least 6-7K a year from me.

The bill that's being passed right now is a much more toned down version of the original plan.  The problem is not the healthcare system, it's the general mentality of Americans.  In a way they are like HK citizens, except that they don't save.

Basically, people here want the best for themselves and they want to maintain their standard of living no matter what happens elsewhere.  If they can't afford it, they blame it on somebody else.

Take employment as an example.  Some people complain that engineers from India and China are taking over their jobs.  But if someone else can live with 50% of your income, why can't you?

I think capitalism is great but US is no longer a capitalisitic country.

LOL You are totally awesome man. This is unreal.
Love how you lay down facts like you know everything.
Do you also think Fido is the best car manufacturer in the world ?

Please go on wikipedia and do ur own research before you randomly laying down your own facts. Some people might actually believe what you said is true.

There is no way they will take 6 - 7k a year from you to fund a US medical program.
If that's what you been doing for the past 70 - 80 years, you should give them a call and ask for your money back.

It maybe more believable to say the Canucks has been getting 6 - 7k a year from me instead.

Actually part of it was Social Security.  I should correct my mistake.

But in the end, both programs are now "supported" by the Treasury, so everything is altogether essentially.
