GOP Would Adopt Chinese Health Care Plan. No Money Or Ins. You Die. Period

Just talked to a vet who recently returned from China after a several week visit. He startled me when he asked if I knew what the Chinese health care system was like. Well their system is like what a GOP system would look like in the end.

The source of his information was a conversation with a college professor he encountered on the "bullet train". He asked this prof what his health care was like. The prof said it was excellent and he had insurance. When he asked the professor what happened to people who have no insurance or money to pay for their health care. He said for much of the population you die. So you need money or insurance in China to get health care.

If you don't have a job right now, you starve. No government assistance.

If you can't get one that pays enough to live on, it's your fault - even if no jobs like that exist in your area. (Real question: how do theme park workers in Orlando survive? Rents there are very high, and I can't imagine the people who work at all those parks are making much above $10 per hour.)

If you can't afford food, utilities, clothes...your fault.

If you run a bank and bet the depositors' money on subprime loans that collapsed...why, we have to bail YOU out. That's the American Way!
