The government ought to be providing the care too.
The ins. companies gotta take their profit from somewhere, m8, and it comes from higher premiums to consumers (after all, you have to buy it somewhere) and poor service.
If the gov't wants to safe money on back office processing they can outsource the actual processing to private companies (which rarely works out cheaper in the long run, but that's another thread).
Morally everybody is entitled to the best health care possible.
(Costs will actually decrease because the poor will take proper preventative care measures instead of wandering into the ER for every little thing. But this doesn't matter.)
The Mexicans have committed an act of war buy breeching our border so we have every right to push them south. The Baja would serve are a reparation for the expense.
Or, for the sane amongst us, you could have better relations and relaxed border and immigration controls between your two countries. Then you'd have the entire Mexican coast to share!
Singapore does not have a minimum wage. They also have low taxes, low government spending, pro-business capitalism, crush labor unions, virtually no welfare safety net, and a focus on practical results instead of idealism.
They also impose moral order, and emphasize a traditional family culture, so people lean on their families instead of government spending. Death penalty for drug dealers, homosexuality is illegal, censorship means TV programs can't glamourize homosexuality.
RESULT: Singapore is now the richest country in Asia. Singapore has 2% unemployment, 45 years of non-stop explosive economic growth on a tiny island with no resources, universal healthcare, top performing public schools, safe clean neighborhoods, low divorce rate, high savings rate, rated one of the least corrupt countries in the world, one of the few countries with AAA credit ratings from all 4 ratings agencies, and NO SLUMS.
Agree. Pretty much any sport that the blacks enter, they tend to dominate over time. NBA, NFL, it's all going black. Clearly, the athleticism needed for these sports is predominant among the Africans. But their brain power lags.
"Let's whine about there not being enough black coaches!"
