Born2Freak: Fake news. Shaky statistics and unreliable source. The shady thinktank that conducted the study relies totally on donations. Interesting.
No source for their statistics. Shady sources? All told, nearly 3% of Canada's population was waiting for some kind of medical care at the end of last year. Those delays were excruciatingly long. After receiving a referral from a general practitioner, the typical patient waited more than 21 weeks to receive treatment from a specialist. That was the longest average waiting period on record -- and more than double the median wait in 1993. Rural patients faced even longer delays. For instance, the average Canadian in need of orthopedic surgery waited almost 24 weeks for treatment -- but the typical patient in rural Nova Scotia waited nearly 39 weeks for the same procedure. One Ontario woman, Judy Congdon, learned that she needed a hip replacement in 2016, according to the Toronto Sun. Doctors initially scheduled the procedure for September 2017 -- almost a year later. The surgery never happened on schedule. The hospital ran over budget, forcing physicians to postpone the operation for another year. In the United States, suffering for a year or more before receiving a joint replacement is unheard of. In Canada, it's normal. Just look at the United Kingdom's government enterprise, the National Health Service, which turns 70 this July. Today, British hospitals are so overcrowded that doctors regularly treat patients in hallways The agency recently canceled tens of thousands of surgeries, including urgent cancer procedures, because of severe resource shortages.. https://www.forbes.com/sites/sallypipes/2018/06/11/canadians-are-one-in-a-million-while-waiting-for-medical-treatment/#20090efa3e7d |

Amujale: That's an awesome point you brought up.
However, its fair to say that every country on the planet has a similar story.
Such isnt exclusive to the US.
Furthermore, the examples you gave are the exceptional cases of individuals that became successful from a normal background, my point refers mainly to the US political system.
Who is responsible for the policies of the US government, the general public, lobbiest or pressure groups?
As in, who does the political system in the US serve?
The American political system certainly only serves a minority of the general public with the correct intent and purpose, the rest have to put in work, maintain a high level of ambition, get financial backing, and even that doesnt guarentee the guy on the street any kind of success in US politics.
Today, in order to have any kind of success in US politics, one would have to have grdauated from a reputable college or university, have sufficient financial backing and get the aproval of certain lobbiest, pressure groups and other politically invested organisations.
Those that have relative success and all those that become seasoned politicians in the US have to consider all the above aquisitions and then some. Tell what is wrong with picking the leaders from Only the best Universities? Barrack Obama born to a Kenyan father who was absent for most of the time and a teenage mom, raised by his middle class grandparents in Kansas Because of his excellence, got into Harvard and rose from the child of a poor single mother to the President of the US. That is the spirit of America |

This is socialized healthcare in Canada TORONTO — WHEN SHARON Shamblaw was diagnosed last summer with a form of blood cancer that could only be treated with a particular stem cell transplant, the search for a donor began. A Toronto hospital, 100 miles east of her home in St. Mary's, Ontario, and one of three facilities in the province that could provide the life-saving treatment, had an eight-month waiting list for transplants. Four months after her diagnosis, Shamblaw headed to Buffalo, New York, for treatment. But it was too late. She died at the age of 46, leaving behind a husband and three childrenOntario, the country's most populous province, provides a good example. The three hospitals that use stem-cell therapy to treat patients with blood disorders and aggressive cancers like the one that Sharon Shamblaw battled are unable to keep up with the soaring demand. So patients are sent to medical facilities in Buffalo, Cleveland, Ohio, and Detroit, Michigan, for the potentially life-saving treatment.https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2016-08-03/canadians-increasingly-come-to-us-for-health-careSo this fantastic Canada healthcare cannot care for its people that it sends them Southwards to the evil US Is this the type of healthcare that America wants? Socialism is evil |

Now to the fabled Socialized healthcare When they talk about this, they forget to mention about the wait times Is it not better to have healthcare and be in debt than to die on waiting lists Below are stories of Canadians who couldnt see doctors after months in Canada, many drive south to the US to get healthcare. Is this what America wants with socialized healthcare? Waiting months to see a doctor A policy brief — titled Flight of the Sick, by the Calgary-based think tank secondstreet.org — says 217,500 Canadians left the country for health care in 2017, according to Statistics Canada. If those travelling with the patients are included in the count, the total rises to 369,700 people.
To that end, secondstreet.org noted Statistics Canada estimates that Canadians spent $690 million on health care abroad in 2017, up from $447 million in 2013. (The federal agency wasn’t able to provide a breakdown of patients seeking medically-necessary procedures and those leaving Canada for cosmetic surgery.)
That worked out to $1.9 million per day in 2017, an increase from $1.2 million per day in 2013.
Of those Canadians seeking health care elsewhere in 2017, the report says the majority were from Ontario, anywhere from as low as 154,000 people to as high as 208,400, based on survey data from Stats Canada. https://torontosun.com/news/national/canadians-continue-to-leave-the-country-for-health-care-says-new-reportSocialism is evil |

patrickmuf: Folks, before now, the premise upon which Raumdeuter used to rate a league as the best was the performance of their representatives in Europe but now the EPL is doing well, the goal post has been shifted.
The UCL and UEL was contested by EPL teams last season and now, all the EPL representatives have make it to the round of 16 in the UCL just as Manchester United, Wolves and Arsenal are doing great in the Europa league but no, the EPL must be garbage because of what is happening in their local league...Europe is no longer the standard...What a time to be alive...Amala has suffered. Is this your surrender post? Cos it sounds like it Did I call the EPL weak last season? The EPL is weak this season and you can see the evidence from the point haul of the major rivals this season Tell us which of the top teams aside Liverpool are having their best season pointwise in the past 5yrs this year |

7Alexandre: The trends matter. The current trend shows that the Republican Party has been continuously losing support since Donald J Trump became President.
Louisiana is not a swing state & the 2020 Presidential Election will be decided by Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida, Arizona, Nevada & possibly Iowa, North Carolina & Georgia.
And if Former Vice President Joe Biden is the Nominee then he will beat Donald J Trump like a drum at the polls come November 3rd 2020.

patrickmuf: Why didn't they compete for the UCL for the rest of their careers? It is obvious they either coached teams who couldn't qualify or they didn't have a long career (To have a long career, you need to win trophies regularly, most of them didn't win enough to have their respective clubs retain their services).. They didnt coach teams who were rich like Man utd and stayed long unchallenged even when failing in Europe |

patrickmuf: Bayern 4 vs 0 Barcelona...Starting 11
Valdes; Jordi Alba, Gerard Pique, Marc Bartra, Dani Alves; Sergio Busquets, Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta; Alexis Sanchez, Lionel Messi, Pedro Rodriguez
Barcelon 0 vs 3 Bayern... Starting lineup...
Victor Valdés; Adriano, Gerard Piqué, Marc Bartra, Dani Alves; Alex Song, Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez; David Villa, Cesc Fábregas, Pedro Rodriguez.
The Barcelona team that beat Juventus to win the treble...Starting line up...
Marc-Andre ter Stegen; Jordi Alba, Javier Mascherano, Gerard Pique, Dani Alves; Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic, Andres Iniesta; Neymar, Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi
Don't forget Messi wasn't fit and played just one leg just like Alba...
Now check, Ter Stegen, Mascherano, Rakitic, Neymar and Suarez...That's 5 new players and a fit Messi...
For more emphasis, Rakitic, Neymar and Suarez were the goal scorers...It shows the impact they had in the team... How many starters were in both teams? in 2013 and in 2015. 6 players Some of the greatest of all time we hear about Like Xavi Iniesta Messi Busquets Pique all present Messi wasnt fit but played full 90mins |
