In general? I want life to be better.
How about a shorter work week? Technology is supposed to make our lives easier. Why do we have to work 5 days a week? Why can’t 3 or 4 days be the norm? Stupid rat race. 
I don’t know. Those pets for sale at petsmart that people can handle get pretty snippy. I don’t think animals like having hundreds of strangers touch them everyday. I think it’s terrible they do that. I’m not going to buy a cat that hates me because it’s been handled too much!
More respect for Mac Dre. Instead of wasting all that government money on people who do nothing but cry about dead people(LAME!) it should be spent on getting the space program to send a probe to Iapetus, Saturn’s most evil and powerful moon. The probe could then return with samples of moonrock, which my brother could stick in the exaust of a '73 Corvette(while runnning) and then eat, giving him superhuman powers never seen before. Being able to create moonzombies would result and inevitably allow him to bring Mac Dre back to life so all the fools would stop wasting money on caskets for war zeroes and invest it in the greatest pimp hand of all Mac Moon Dre!!
Yup!
lets nuclear bomb the whole earth, have 2 survivors(1 male 1 female) and start over!
What if the female or male don’t like each other cause they despise the opposite sex???
Id like to see an end to anti-abortion movements. They are ridiculous and depressing.
i am completely for abortion.
I would like nations to pour money into things like medicine, stem cell researched etc, not more war and weapons of war.
I would like magic to exist.
Hmm, public healthcare… Why does it cost the French $3,500.00 per person and everyone is covered and in the US, we pay $6,500.00 per person and not only do we have a lot of uninsured… And consider this point, even the people WITH insurance aren’t always covered. 34 cents out of every dollar in the US’s health care budget doesn’t go to anything beyond paper work and paying for the people that figure out how to deny insurance claims.
You may think you are safe, but you aren’t: Over half of all bankruptcies filed are due to catastrophic illnesses or other medical issues… This statistic is for all of you that think you are covered… 75% of those who filed for bankruptcy who file because of a medical reason WERE fully covered by insurance and then were denied because the insurance companies found ways to weasel out of paying.
So don’t be too cocky, you may have insurance, but when the time comes that you need it, there’s an army of people taking that 35 cents per dollar whose job it is to find ways to deny you coverage. hahahahahaha, the joke’s on you!
then uhhh well choose 2 that liek each other:Di guess?
Kick people while they’re down! I’m insured, but have had to pay for a few things out of pocket and my insurance won’t cover a lot of things. I certainally don’t think I’m better off than anyone, but I also don’t think public healthcare like they have in France will work here. Everyone forgets that France is a a small country compared to the US. Don’t be to uppity about your “facts” man…
Yeah, I was in the middle of a serious job hunt when I unexpectedly fell pregnant last year. I was none too happy about having to quit the job hunt and staying with a soul-sucking job that I absolutely despise, all because of my “pre-existing medical condition” that would prevent my prenatal care from being covered by another insurance company.
Goodness forbid if I should ever have a pre-existing medical condition that doesn’t cure itself in nine months, or else I’ll never be able to leave.
Yeah, but the fact remains that the system we have in place is a dismal failure for everyone but the insurance companies. I don’t know enough about France’s system to know if it would work here or not, but I doubt that it would be worse than what we’ve got now. We have people dying prematurely in our country simply because they cannot afford proper healthcare. That needs to stop.
I agree, but I just think people need to be realistic about it.
I would like to see someone marketing the Lazagnut Bar.
Pasta, ground beef and sausage, mozzarella and ricotta cheeses, and tomato sauce wrapped in nougat, coated with chocolate, and dipped in coconut.
Socialized healthcare is the ONLY realistic solution. The US is the only 1st World nation not to have it.
“Small country”… France has a population of over 60 million. UK also. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland etc all have universal health care. That adds to a lot more than just the U.S.
Judge a nation by how it treats it’s inferiors.
I’m not saying that these countries are puny weaklings that treat people worse than America does. I wish people would quit assuming all Americans think every country but America sucks. It’s simply not true. Some of us actually like other countries besides the US and respect them. I’m one of them. I don’t turn my head at all the dumb stuff America does. Nor do I “judge a nation” based on anything. Thanks for assuming the completely wrong thing.
Secondly, France, and most of the individual countries in Europe are smaller than the US. By size and population. My issue is, it might be easier to do it in a “smaller country” (by SIZE) than the US where not everyone is on board with it. Also, taxes are insane here and would only increase if we had free healthcare. It’s not free in these countries. The people do pay for them, but not to an insurance company. They pay the government in taxes and get their healthcare. Someone is paying for it. NOTHING IN LIFE IS FREE! I wish people would see this. Yes, our system sucks and forever presidents have promised a better healthcare system, but have failed to do so. Believe me, I know more about the woes of American healthcare than you’d care to know. I just don’t see universal free healthcare as a possibility unless our economy gets better. It’s either we’re at the mercy of the government or the insurance companies. Which is the lesser evil? American governmet or an insurance company?
I don’t want to see people die because they have to pay rent over their medical bills, but people on fixed incomes would still be paying out the ying yang for the services they use most to pay for that “free” healthcare. There needs to be a revision of the healthcare system, but re-doing the system overnight and making it “free”, in my opinion, isn’t an option right now without some issues…sorry…
There is no reason it wouldn’t scale up. Heck, if it could be managed by the states, that would be a reduction in scale.
Taxes may increase, but not cost. You already pay in a number of ways. One is the premium you pay to your company for health care costs. Another is your employer paying for your plan. This comes out of your paycheck, albeit indirectly. Then there are the out of pocket costs (deductibles, co-pays, out of band services). If all these things were eliminated and your taxes were raised, the real cost to you wouldn’t be higher. It could be lower. If you wanted to not tax individuals directly, you could tax businesses an amount roughly coresponding to the amount the no longer would be paying toward health care. There are lots of ways to fund this. It doesn’t have to cost more, and it should cost less.
No one is calling this FREE. It is not. It is simply a restructuring.
I would like to see 4 dollars to the pound at some point.
