Yes the US health system is really messed up! :/ That whole selling your property within 5 years before you die in a home can be considered fraud! That's messed up! How can they pass on a debt when you're dead? That doesn't make any sense!

What is Obama care? Wasn't Obama supposed to change the system but got a load of resistance from republicans? My knowledge of American politics is minimal.

Edit: faerie_moon you just answered my question just as I posted

I don't know how they get away with that. Our health system isn't perfect, but nobody gets left out. We also don't have too many using the 'my taxes pay your bills' argument. Of course you're going to get people who are lazy and will not contribute to society by working and paying taxes, you'll get that in every country. But the thing is, these people are far and few between. It's by helping people who are down on their luck that can improve situations for entire families!

Crazy stuff, that's why I'll never live in the US. I'll emigrate to Canada all the way
