TheRat, before ranting. Get your facts straight. Show me where competition resulted in price increase please? That surgery in the US would be free if you were covered. You can label me as right winger, because I value personal freedoms above nanny states. Fine, whatever you say. I am not…

Well taking your point! What about Police and the fire department! Should these also be prepay services?!

MASSWIPE, so where does food and shelter fall? Seriosly, where do you draw the line between products and rights?

Your variety in cheese won't decrese because some government is running a healthcare system.

Actually, in USSR variety in cheese did decrease because government ran everything, including health-care.

Healthcare should be guarunteed RIGHT, not a privilege. Outrageous as it may sound, you shouldn't be too scared to go to the…

Sorry, guys but I have to disagree with you. I can only see social insurance schemes driving countries into defaults in the long run. We already saw some extreme cases, with USSR seizing to exist, and Greece sucking on teat of Euro-zone. I see that all welfare states will end…

I don't think it is a DSLR. My understanding that it doesn't have a mirror or pentaprism to display images in view finder, but rather uses a separate chip to show images on LCD and VF, basically same technology as in point and shoots, but with bigger better sensor. To…

I wouldn't actually mind joining one of those companies just for the hell of it, break all the rules and then just sue them for everything they got, hopefully driving employers to suicide in the process... would be quite a laugh.
