Surely you aren't suggesting that these governments have secret automated gardens where healthcare is grown without any inputs of resources at all whatsoever... Nations with socialized medicine hedge risk by having everyone pay for everyone's healthcare, it doesn't just magicall pop out of the government's ass. Of course this screws over the people who apply effort towards keeping themselves healthy, and provides a free ride for all those who don't give a fuck. Um, you think that the privatized medical insurance industry does not make us pay for those who do not give a fuck? That is hilarious, of course they make us all pay for those with bad eating habits and living habits like sitting on their ass. The thing is we already pay taxes for the poor who do not get preventative care, so when they finally go to the doctor they have a major medical emergency that hospitals write off and get reimbersed for... quote:
On an aggregate scale? Does the mom and pop store have a phone number I can call to ask questions about products? I owned an online business, they had my cell phone number, home line, and email to contact me about my merchandise. quote:
Does the mom and pop store have a website with a store locator, inventories, and online ordering? Yes, I did quote:
Does the mom and pop store have movie and music downloads and a guy standing at the door to greet me? Actually the small music store in my area does have that... they greet everyone. Edited to add, what about mom and pop knowing that your kid has been ill, that your husband was promoted, that you like a certain brand of coffee... I call that service.
