even freedom isn't free. Healthcare surely isn't... If you don't think your taxdollars are supporting it, you are fooling yourself.

Free how? Are you not going to pay the doctor for his or her work? Are you not going to pay for medical supplies and drugs and equipment? Are you going to steal these things and enslave the doctors so as not to pay for it? Or do you expect to pay for these things with a magical money tree that grows currency?

I have no idea what you just said.

No, medical care should NOT be free, especially when you have meth heads coming in to get free health care for their teeth and gums which are only that way because they choose to consume an illegal substance.

Or fat people getting patched up because they're lazy fuckers, or old people because they were stupid enough not to die young, or smokers because they smoke, or stupid kids who idiotically went outside and did something and broke their arms, and so on and so forth...

Do you mean 'with' tax? Who do you tax? Well someone is taxed and so that someone pays. If someone pays it is not free. As a matter of fact when someone pays who does not want to (I am assuming you would enforce this tax it is not voluntary is it?) it is not free rather a robbery.

ahhhhh yes but that is very different than being free.

shall there be no limits to the medical care you can get paid for by government taxes? any treatment for anything at any time?

what about cosmetic surgery? (like making one's nose look better)

And we have almost free medical care.

Jag är också från Sverige - något du sett om du bemödat dig att läsa det som står under mitt namn här på forumet - och även om vi har "nästan gratis" sjukvård vid konsumtionstillfället, så stämmer detta absolut inte för sjukvården i stort, som kostar oss en ofantlig summa pengar om året, och detta stämmer absolut inte för vare sig tandvård eller medicinkostnader.

Jag vill igen passa på att råda dig att sluta upprepa samma svar om och om och om igen. En gång räcker - folk kan faktiskt läsa vad du skrivit fastän ditt svar inte är riktat till dem personligen.

Yes but that does not makeit free. Someone has to pay the tax so someone (likely a lot of people) are indeed paying. If you pay for something it is not free.

Uppenbarligen så svara dom ju ungefär samma svar alla då får dom samma svar också.

jag har aldrig sakt vi har helt fri men näst har vi jag hoppas vi kommer få helt fri sjukvård i sverige.

Visst kostar det pengar sjukvård men det är betald med skattemedel.

All "free" care will do is create shortages. It's just another example of why price controls don't work.

Då får du nog vänta rätt så länge. Med en allt äldre befolkning och en otillräcklig befolkningstillväxt i de yngre ålderskikten kommer det helt enkelt inte att finnas tillräckligt med arbetsföra skattebetalare för att finansiera den allt mer krävande och avancerade sjukvården, som dessutom kommer att utsättas för ett enormt tryck på grund av just denna åldrande befolkning.

Du får nog hoppas att vi löser vårt demografiska problem innan du ens kan börja tänka på sådana högtflygande drömmar som gratis sjukvård i framtiden. Förmodligen kommer vi att få nöja oss med mycket mindre än så.

How do you mean?
Let's say you owned a grocery store. Then there was a program that was financed by tax dollars that allowed folks to go to your store and take whatever food they thought they needed. Your shelves would be empty in no time. No amount of tax money or good intentions would fill them up again until the next delivery truck arrived.

It's a lot like that with medical care. When folks can go to the doctor and use his services whenever they think they need it, eventually the system will saturate and there will be no time left. Then folks that need that hip operation and that kidney transplant are left waiting. There's no problem paying for it, only finding enough time to do the procedure.

That's the case whenever price controls are introduced. They produce shortages. Always has, always will.

And it used to work pretty good in Germany until people grew older, medical work became more expensive and those people contributing the money grew less and less. And some other reasons thrown in there as well...
Other than that - yes, good idea. As long as the doctor doesn't decide what I can buy at the grocery store :D
