Universal Healthcare
by The Incredible Nerd/Junkie on Dec 17, 2010 16:40:40
A system for providing medical attention to people, of which Americans have absolutely
noe experience, knowledge or understandig of. Yet they have a million strong,
gut wrenching opinions about it.
Example:
American: "Hey i dont want your "socialiced medicine" system in my country! I am an expert on national healtcare systems.
Insurance companies are the Gods of knowledge and all scientists are retards and Universal Healthcare is communism.
European: "Ok.. whatever... I'll go and have my free
MRI tomorrow, and take
my kids to the doctor for the annual free check."
Healthcare bill
by Mr. Politico on Jan 13, 2011 12:25:29
A completely
unconstitutional bill that gives the government the power to mandate that you must have health insurance or else. Government run healthcare is, in fact, a tenant of socialism, and will help to bankrupt any nation. This bill was passed using
backroom deals and
bribery. This bill is unconstitutional because nowhere in the Constitution is the government given the power to tell us to purchase something. The Constitution states that all powers not explicitly delegated to the federal government are given to the States and the People. If the government was to get their slimy hands out of healthcare, the prices would go down, as proven time and time again with other commodities.
Example:
Man, now I have to spend all this money on health
insurance because of the Healthcare bill when I can barely pay my bills in the first place! Is
the government trying to
ruin me???
Healthcare Ignoramus
by tjpartys on Aug 12, 2009 13:32:21
Any American person who likes to attend
town hall meetings to "discuss" the
healthcare reform debates when they have no clue as to what they are fighting for or against.
These people are usually 1 or more of the following:
1)
Senior Citizens
2) Republicans
3) Uneducated
Example:
In a town hall meeting help by Rep. Robert
Inglis
Healthcare Ignoramus: "Keep you goddamn government hands off my
medicare!!!"
Inglis: "Actually sir, your healthcare is being provided by the government"
Healthcare Ignoramus:
o.0
universal healthcare
by The Evil Socialist on Sep 11, 2008 17:53:05
A system under which healthcare costs are shared throughout the community, rather than being
dumped on one person. Has a couple of big
advantages: first, checkups and tests, even advanced ones like MRIs, become much more
affordable and more convenient when you don't need to involve the insurance companies. This lets people catch and treat problems earlier, making things cheaper and easier all around. Second, the overall cost for procedures is cheaper.
Example:
Under the
US's private insurance system:
Dental work, $2000
Ingrown toenail surgery, $200
Under Japan's universal healthcare system:
Dental work, $160 upfront
Ingrown toenail surgery, $14 upfront
You're telling me that instead of contributing a bit to a group pot, you want to pay obscene amounts of money to a guy who might pay SOME of your bills if you get hurt... if he feels like it, and decides it's worthwhile? Whatever, man. Whatever.
Healthcare Donkey
by Anon930 on Dec 06, 2020 04:59:33
A derogatory term used for nurses,
EMT's, Paramedics, and doctors that tend to boast about how "essential" they are on social media. They tend to be "so
overworked" but have time to choreograph
complicated dance routines on platforms such as Tik Tok and Instagram.
Example:
"Good luck on your date with Sage. She's a typical
healthcare donkey that likes to tell everyone how important she is for
the COVID response, yet works
part time amount of hours"

universal healthcare
by Phaser1 on Sep 21, 2008 20:49:53
A system by which health care is available to all citizens of a country
irrespective of their ability to pay.
Sometimes called "
socialized medicine" it in fact can be provided using a combination of the public and
private sector, compulsory insurance with assistance for those who can not afford it, a system funded entirely by taxes, or both.
The USA is the only developed country not to implement universal health care. The current system is very expensive and inefficient, people in the USA pay more than anyone for health care in the first world yet receive treatment on par with third world countries.
Example:
French Man 1: You hear ze americans have no "universal healthcare".
French Man 2:
Hoh hoh hoh hoh hoh.
French Man 1: Hoh hoh hoh hoh hoh.
And so it goes on.
