Quoting AEnigma III:

Teas - you must get the word "insurance" out of your head. EVERYBODY is entitled to the same heathcare - from birth. You do not have to take ANY documents, certificates or evidence to the hospital with you and you don't have to claim anything back - there is NOTHING TO PAY.


That's exactly the idea of a welfare state. Some people think it's a great idea, some think it's not... There are advantages and disadvantages...

Yes I know. I've heard it a lot here, no need to say it again!!! Turkey can be proud of how well they impose limits, they do it really well!

Maybe that is the big difference, AEnigma. When you are an American and people say the word entitled...it makes us cringe. Most Americans feel that you must work for what you get because everyone supposedly has the same opportunities. Americans subscribe to a Social Darwinism that doesn't exsist in most of Europe or the UK. It is a mindset that will take years to change if the American people are willing to change it.
