Haha! This little conversation between is getting ridiculous but sure. Let's keep going. Original comment said with my interpretations in brackets: "If your employer [probably referring to the United States System?] or the government [probably refers to the European socialized medicine systems?] pays for your healthcare, you'll be unhealthy. If you pay, you'll be healthy." At first you seemed too think our friend was saying that under socialized medicine people are less healthy than in the US. I pointed out that's not what was said. Now you seem to agree that our friend was saying that you'll be healthier if you pay for healthcare yourself (neither the US or the European model). I agree with that interpretation. You now want to argue that the assertion is false. Note that the original poster has not responded once and is very likely blissfully unaware that this discussion is taking place. I am, but I didn't chime in to argue that point. I just wanted to clarify what I thought the original poster was saying. It is an interesting debate (more interesting than whether the current US system or the Euro system is better), but honestly, since it was this difficult just to come to the understanding of what was really up for debate, I'm kinda tired and not interested in continuing.
