Look at sweden, You can pay 60% of your income in taxes...


Wow, 60% in taxes in return for health care, education, transportation, some vacation, etc. That leaves the average citizen with 40% disposable income. How many Americans can claim to have 40% disposable income after buying just health insurance? Most Americans can't afford to even put money in the bank or invest for retirement in the first place.

Since you make the claim that doctors are victimized by too much litigation, do you propose that the government step in and provide more regulation? Why is it, though, that the number of lawsuits has declined in relation to the cost of health care and insurance rising?



I pay ~35% of my income and get all of the above.. ( I paid for college myself, which just took a little savings). Why would I want to pay an additional 30% for people who didn't get there [censored] together. What do you mean by transportation, I never saw where sweden buys there citizens a vehicle. Most americans can afford to save, they just choose not to in favor of material wealth.

I hate goverment regulation, but providing a cap on lawsuits would offer some savings to on rising medical costs.
