What Healthcare is "Free"? What the flying fuck do you think NIC is for? Even root canals require an anaesthesiologist on-site to administer hypnotics if required. Almost ALL wisdom tooth removal is now carried out at Dental units in hospitals, no longer clinics.
Oh, you WORK with them. I see. And do you work in a Dental practice? How many of your anesthetists are FGDP certified?
I sometimes go to the coffee shop. I don't know where the coffee comes from, but I like to argue with the person over the counter that it's from Colombia.
That's you.
I shouldn't be forced to pay for someone else, at least, at the federal level.
And yes, people should have to look for help, it's uncomfortable sure, but there are people willing to give.
Not completely, but I'm okay with that.
Of course, I also avoid drugs except for those ER type situations myself, I don't typically take the painkillers I'm automatically given.
I take greater risks with non-government tested equipment and I'd say the track record is pretty good.
Can Pharmaceutical companies be trusted to sufficiently test their own drugs and dosing before preparing them for market?

What I was trying to ask, was how could we make insurance premiums more affordable for people.
Free was in inverted commas, just like yours. Such a stupid question I'm not even answering it. You're just spouting off crap in a stupid attempt to make yourself sound like an expert on something when really it aint that complicated. I pay directly for my dentistry care. I do not pay directly when I go and see my doctor or go into a hospital.
Fuck you're dumb.

No, but they shouldn't be tested by a federally funded and controlled entity, either. An independent party would make sense in that situation.
You seem preoccupied with saying I'm trying to sound "right" and "smart" instead of "correct".
Is it so hard NME? Oh well, perhaps when you get your degree we can have a chat about this. Until then wave your flag.
a better questions is how can we "make" people choose policies with more affordable premiums instead of whining that they want the biggies size meal with the dollar menu price.
Get rid of the current regulation BS and make the market truly free.
Correct how?
Dentistry is run differently from the standard NHS service, end of.
Government hasn't proven that it can regulate it very well here, all kinds of garbage gets put on the market anyway.Personally, yes. I don't take anything I'm prescribed bar the odd sleeping pill when I'm having a troublesome night getting over to sleep. That's very rare.
Where it does start to come in is in regards to my potential children, or perhaps my family.
Pharma, in my experience, cannot be trusted to ever police itself. In that regard, I think Government regulation of that is required.
As for free healthcare. Healthcare is never free. In regards to American medicine, the old adage of "You get what you pay for" stands. I know a lady who was given 2 months to live after her NHL had been beaten into remittance twice. She went to the US for 3 bouts of treatment and is still alive 7 years later.
If you can pay for it. Why not? We need to stop thinking the world can support our exponential population growth and survival rate.
Dentistry is not on the NHS here, try again idiot.
Who trains Dentists? Who regulates Dentists? Who pays for their equipment? Who provides all outside support required?
I don't "pay" for my Dentist either as I'm with BUPA, so I don't pay 'directly' either. Guess in your interpretation you'd understand that as "free".
