I think each and every country has pros and cons.

I'd like more gun freedom here but I'd also like tougher prisons. Our crime is mad. The victim has less rights than the perp.

If I had to choose between Australia and USA, it'd have to be Oz.

Why?

Cos I like Koalas

Hey fuck you Americans and you need your firearm for protection. How’s the pathetic Texan walking into his neighbours home and shooting them.

Don't believe the hype of the programmed news. They only report the shit. They never report on good news. Oh, and Australia, where England sent the dregs of society :ROFLMAO:

That sounds horrible! I'm in Florida where we do what we want, cops don't fuck with anyone for anything here. People are rude as fuck. I'm from Colorado where people are polite and nice generally. My girl and I will most likely end up in Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico or Texas...I like those places better.

People are rude in Florida because they are transplants from the Northeast. I live there and know firsthand.

There is no better health care in the world than US, I can say that with out consequence.

Dude... We don't even make the top 10. Actually Denmark has the best.
And as far as "first world" countries go The United States spends more on health care than any other high-income country but still has the lowest life expectancy at birth and the highest rate of people with multiple chronic diseases.
So... No... No we don't. Not even close. We suck at health care... In fact other countries who have good health care... Free healthcare to all citizens... Laugh at us for just how terrible we are.
Our cost is through the roof... And our success rates are in the toilet.
We're the only country that will put you in crippling debt in order to save your life. Not that long ago a father of 3 was bit by a rattlesnake. Luckily the doctors saved his life... Unfortunately that bill cost him $187,000 dollars. He lost his house... His business, his kids college funds. He lost everything... He even said... He wishes they let him die. At least then his kids would have his life insurance. Now they have nothing... So to say America has the best healthcare system... It's just simply not true. Say that to any diabetic who has to spend $500 a month on insulin just to live. Say that to all the diabetics who have died from trying to ration their insulin because they can't afford it. All those other countries supply it for free...

Or the doctors here who have men in their 30s, 40s and 50s come to them with low T symptoms. But instead of getting them on test, they prescribe them Zoloft. Then when their dick stops working from the Zoloft... They give them Cialis. Then when they get sad because they're dick only works with a pill... Don't worry they have Xanax to give you.
I don't want to start a fight... But our health care system is a bad fucking joke. They don't care about us, they care about money. Period... End of story.

I’m not going on your list bud… I work in healthcare, and I’ve seen it in several countries firsthand. Your list means nothing to me. A bad experience dies not negate an entire system. What you’re talking about is insurance and finance. He could have filed bankruptcy and never paid a dime. Anyway… it’s the best care you can get.

Free is you get what you pay for. I met several Canadians tell me they have to wait 6-8 months for an appointment that you get in 3-4 days here in US. I’ll stick with paying for my healthcare.

For me, it depended on my insurance. Back in 2011, I was in a motorcycle accident. Was in Shock Trauma for 4 weeks. $700,000 total in medical bills. I had an HMO and paid nothing (Union benefits). I had 24 hour personal care. So, to me, it depends on what insurance you have. Also, if your insurance is sub par, you can negotiate with your hospital and doctors bills. I have friends and relatives who have done that. Socialism pays for the medical care in some other countries, but you pay for it in taxes. It pretty much balances out. And also don't forget the population of the US compared to other countries and all of the migrants who come here.

I got 12 years of bad experiences... People getting kicked off medicaid. People filing for divorce so they can get health insurance they can afford. It's not my list... It's the world's list... But
Ignore the list... Ignore the facts... It won't change them. It's how most people get by... And why things don't change.
And the fact that he has to file for bankruptcy... You're just fine with that? Loosing everything he worked for...
True American point of view... My way is the best and you can't convince me otherwise...
If I was wrong... Id like to know. But I get that's not for everyone.

Here in UK we have the option to use private health care, but we also provide free National Health Service to anyone who needs it.

To people on lower incomes, the best healthcare system is one they can afford to access.

When’s the last time you went to an ER in Denmark? Lol
I’ve been in hospitals in 7 countries. I also have several friends from medical school who practice in their home countries and tell me how it is. Not Denmark… Sweden, I will stretch and say it is likely similar.

You don’t lose everything when you file bankruptcy. The guy is lucky to be alive. Also, I’m fine with anything I type or I wouldn’t type it. I don’t know this fucking person. I would tell him the same. That sucks… do what you must to keep on. That’s life bro!

I’ve never been prescribed Zoloft or forced to take any prescription medication. If you go to a doctor that does what you said, I say it is on you for being a dumbass and not researching something to discuss with the provider.
