... Ever. Seriously, we should be researching the incredible (yet non existant) virtues of the Brazilian health system, and yet here I am on Oppo. The 2 dudes next to me are checking out LoL strategy videos on youtube, which should be blocked, and there's a group of 4 or 5 girls on the other side of the room checking out cat pictures on Google. The rest of the class didn't even bother to show up.
You know, this is actually a pretty accurate representation of how the Health System works.

That is getting the tuition money's worth for everybody, isn't it.
The education industry is as socialist and corrupted as the "health" industry is getting.
Here's your lesson for today... Government has the inverse-Midas touch. Everything it touches that should otherwise be handled as personal business turns to worthless shite. the entirety of human history provides evidence.
Perhaps George Washington said it better.
Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
Or another, likely unattributed quote, used by Barry Goldwater, and Gerald Ford, among others, mistakenly attributed to Thomas Jefferson, (but I think Jefferson would agree...)
"Any government powerful enough to give the people all that they want is also powerful enough to take from the people all that they have."
Ben Franklin is attributed to have said:
"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic."
Another good one from Plato:
“One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.”
“No man has ever ruled other men for their own good.”- George D. Herron
Medical care is between you and your doctor, like your bank account is between you and your banker.
Financial insurance for medical care is between you and your insurer, just like your car, or home-owner's insurance... which at best is a gambling bet that bad things might not happen, and sometimes worse is legally sanctioned and sometimes government-mandated racketeering.
Government getting into those businesses or any business between people, in any way other than to enforce the law against fraud or other criminal activity, is the government trying to leverage power and control over it's citizens.
That has never worked out well for the citizens, any time it has been tried, and eventually, it doesn't work out well for the tyrants, either.
People need to learn the true meaning of "Mind your own business."
That doesn't mean leaving other people alone as much as it means taking personal responsibility of one's own affairs, and not leaving them to others to control.

Chill. This is one guy talking about one class in one school on a car forum. There's no need for lengthy political rambling.

Arguably, by the time there is a NEED for it, it is already too late for it to make a difference.
There has to be some sort of alternative view to the tripe that suggests that government should handle health management, or even education.
It leads problems both ways.
It is always a choice whether to read something that has been written. If nothing is written, there is nothing to choose to read.
