the issue about the collapse of the housing market, all the foreclosures, etc., it's because American's are so engulfed in this "American Dream", that they would do anything to own a house, which probably led to such high prices over time, putting Americans at more risk financially, but that never stopped them and now most people are in a huge debt and have high mortgages that they can't afford. people don't care how much they spend and if it's worth their money, as long as they get to their goal, ignoring the long term effects. houses are too overpriced in America.

oh... and what the government offers, like a place to live, is the worst living condition ever. they put you in projects in dirty, tiny apartments/living spaces. i wouldn't necessarily say that living off the government = a good life, or better than one in which you could've provided for yourself. it's affordable for people who struggle, but keep in mind that most who stay on government !@#$%^&*istance, a drastic change is almost impossible to make in order to get out, so most stay in that situation for the rest of their lives. not to mention the high market housing prices. too over priced. i see houses that look like !@#$%^&*, selling for $500,000. man, i can get a mansion in Canada for that, plus more lol. anyway, back to health care, you act like the government will be taxing you thousands of dollars. the amount you'll be paying through taxes is a lot less than what you pay for your health care premiums. it's like raising the tax by a couple percent, at the most. Canadians pay 14% on taxes on goods and services, and if you ask most people, it's worth it. you act like the poor aren't required to pay taxes, everyone gets taxed. i think it's a fair system. the health of Americans is very bad, i know so many people who refuse to go to the doctor's when they're sick because they don't have insurance. or, who think twice when they break a bone cus they know it's gonna cost too much for treatment and hospitalization. it's pretty sad. annnddd y'all have nasty teeth lmao. not many Americans do yearly cleaning at the Dentist, disgusting =/

most of mine were pre-existing conditions though. there's no way an insurance company was gonna provide me coverage lol.

exactly... which sucks because people spend their entire lives paying off major surgeries and treatment. i know someone who's in the hospital, and has been in there for months. he was put on dialysis and has temporary brain damage, was also in a coma for a bit (i think). he's in the working class, doesn't make much money, nor does his family. do you know how much trouble, financially, he and his family are in? but, if that was in Canada, it would've been free of charge, not a dime.
-
well, you have to think about it in other ways. for example, i've had to have a couple surgeries in my past already. the conditions wouldn't have been paid for by any health insurance companies in America (i doubt it), and even if they did pay, i'd have to pay a deductible. each surgery would've cost thousands of dollars. the amount of tax money you pay on goods and services, really isn't that much. and the fact that you see it as you're picking up the tab for others, and not also the other way around, that's the problem. and with the emergency treatment you're talking about... is there even one in place? i know of some people who had to have emergency surgeries, treatment, and they were still billed.

i'm an Obama supporter, and even though i like his health care plan better than Hilary's, i don't think either plan is gonna be a great success. i don't like this whole health insurance thing, i don't believe that it's "universal" as long as it's involved and playing a big role. Hilary's plan is re!@#$%^&*ed, forcing people to subscribe to a plan. Obama's plan vows to lower costs of insurance, but if you choose not to opt-in to what he's offered, then you aren't covered. this isn't what universal health care is... and both candidates are talking about how their plan is universal. universal is when you don't have to opt-in to anything, or subscribe to any plans or pay any premiums, but if something were to happen to you, you would receive health care no matter what. both of their plans still leave people out and require payments, therefore, it's not universal. it's pretty sad, considering almost all of the other developed countries (Canada, France, etc.) have FREE universal health care. As a Canadian citizen (i have dual), i love the way health care works in Canada. it's paid through taxes on goods and services, and also funded by the government. would it hurt to pay a little more on purchases to "pitch in" for health care? Americans are always talking about how "they don't wanna pay their tax money for somebody else's health care". but, the concept of this is that while you may be paying for someone's health care, every other citizen in the country is doing the same. something is bound to happen to you, to send you to the doctor's or hospital, it's inevitable. and when you're in the hospital, you'll be grateful that other people are paying for your health care. the way most Americans think is quite sad. it's 2008 already and America still doesn't have a proper health care plan.

i don't know, you all look the same lol. -
i still think it's way too easy for people to get guns. sometimes, mental illness shows up in the most unexpected people. and by arming american's with guns, you're maximizing the chance that a gun can end up in the the wrong hands. as i recall, VA is one of those states with less strict to no effective gun law, but regardless, unless the whole country is on the same page, random shootings like this is gonna repeat itself. and Sama, there were some similar incidents in Canada, but they weren't as bad as the ones in America. and the week of the NIU massacre, there were 3 other school shootings. they also said that the two gunmen bought guns from the same place... so how was the loophole fixed?
-
but VA didn't record that information = no system was in place to ensure that psycho people don't get guns, which means there needs to be stricter gun laws. i know it sounds bad, but there is gonna be another one of these shootings at another university/college.
