China and America's Health Care Debate.

China has so much to offer the world, if people get off the Communist bashing... I see more repressive things in the US......and so because it is called a Democracy they don't get the negative ratings? Totally ridiculous.... China cares about helping people, and because they have so many people that is a huge challenge. Picture America with 1 billion more people. They complain now about not having jobs, about having crowded highways....Now think of China....with that billion more mouths to feed.....
America you are nothing but spoiled little brats....Now I will prove this so no one can claim this article is an opinion. What is posted is our past President GW Bush giving everyone the middle finger....if that is not being a brat...then I don't know what is. America has not even been in this world for 250 years yet.....and you go around telling everybody what to do. You wave your political guns with threats and sanctions.....as if you know what is going on in the world. You know nothing.......
You invaded China once before and made the entire society Opium Drug Addicts....with your Opium selling......and in western schools we are taught how bad China, is....and how they use drugs all the time.....When I finally got out of the US to see the truth....I realized how you really lie to suit your purposes........ and your war machine.
On the other hand China has been a country that has not been taken over by the Western Powers and has been around for over 7,000 years. That is a mighty long time....You'd think spoiled brat kid on the block USA would listen to Papa China....who has been around for awhile......Now granted we have a New President Barack Obama...but time and again we have seen how he continues the same policies Bush has with the countries outside the USA. Namely he keeps the same Military posturing..and occupational directives of the brat...Does this make him a brat too? I think people are smart enough to add 1+1 = 2 brats.
For instance....Most Americans know nothing about Chinese medicine, and how it works..to maintain good health. Americans have health care debates for as long as I can remember ......and yet no one considers that a chinese way of health care is what I consider the best in the world....
Talk about inexpensive. The last I remember nearly 8 years ago it cost me over $30.usd just to have an appointment with a USA know it all doctor...but in China it costs me about 25. cents....The medicine is also very inexpensive.....Think of the good health Americans could enjoy if they learned TCM....and used Chinese medicine in their lives. I have been using it now 8 years, and I am as strong as a horse...couldn't feel better.... Think of all the people Chinese doctors see, and treat.....and most Chinese live for a very long time. I think they know more about medicine and treatment because they have been in the world for over 7,000 years... You'd think American doctors would have something to learn about Chinese medicine.
But no........ American medicine is all political....and very much tied to the Pharmaceutical Companies...and making huge profits for the corporations and doctors.
Washington Unplugged? today, Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma discussed his objections to possible health care reform plans.
Coburn argued that any public plan will morph into a government run health care plan, and if we do that then we will fall into the same problems as every other nation that has run government run health care you control costs through the bureaucracy and you ration care.
Such a plan, he said, will eliminate all private insurance because it will be cheaper and everyone will go towards the cheaper plan, which will end up getting subsidized and ultimately it will collapse on itself. http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/03/06/politics/politicalhotsheet/entry4848995.shtml...
How many more years do we have to listen to the bloodsuckers who soak the poor of their health and wealth? How many more years do we have to endure the ignorance of American Healthcare Political Legislation....instead of getting the real facts of healthcare from China? They claim China is such a repressive government yet, their healthcare system out does America a billion to one...and talk about aid to the people....China is on a campaign of building new hospitals for the people...and giving free healthcare to the poor in the rural areas of China. I call that a country who cares about people.....not the profits big wigs can extract......in supporting their gambling Donald Trump Casinos and other nefarious activities.....
It is a disgrace that doctors live on the indigent, on the helpless, the poor, the infirm, the elderly, the cripples, and weak. American medicine is not about helping the people, it is about taking advantage of them...stalking them.....keep them sick....so they can make more money....
Maybe America will someday overcome their greed and have a real society that cares about people and their health instead of how much money they can surgically remove from their wallets, and bank accounts.
When that day comes.....I don't know.....It takes people to realize these things and go forward in meeting the needs.....with honesty and integrity...

This looks like it should have an 'opinion' label on it.
at 17:42 on March 9th, 2009
No its not an opinion its true.
I think that you need to live a breath China to understand it as the writer an I do, we know about the Chinese medicine, we know about china as we know the country the people and the truth. The Chinese medical system saved my life four years ago and I have high regards at the efficiency and the Chinese doctors professional abilities.
Chinese medicine is much cheaper and just effective, thankfully in Asia China helps to keep medicines at a price that's more affordable than the over advertised over priced medicine sold in the USA.
No this is not an opinion its the truth and as its new information its new news to Americans, of whom have a very strange OPINION and that is opinion of China and the way people live there. They do not march around in drap uniforms waving little red books any more, and work their fingers to the bone for half a bowl of rice. Those days are long past, china is ever changing its changed so much its frighten the hell out of the US government. not because it would harm USA but because of the new inovations and its qualities that show it can be a world leader and that capitalism sits easy in a bed of pure strict socialistic society.
The writer is telling the true news and no, no ,no way is this news one mans opinion. It would be yours if you stayed and mingled and reseached the facts in the heart of China your self.
I go back there myself on the 31st of this month to spend some time in one of the best countries in the world for culture, innovation and people care. I will wander around talking to friends that do trade in China and some wonderful Chinese people that I got to know over the many years of visits and the short period that I lived there
Though many times I beg to disagree with the writer of this article on many of life's issues I have to give him the praise of being the expert on China as he lives and breaths the place. Where I visit and see its development and sample the air and notice the new freedom and the change.

No its not an opinion....I know the facts here. It is your opinion its an opinion, not mine....I have lived here in China long enough to see the difference.

Ok let's delve into this a bit deeper....and tell me why writers have no factual basis to writing....when you force writers to post opinions when they are not? I want to know! And because you don't face the same reality I face you esteem it an opinion, when I clearly see it as a fact. So when I write I can not tell the truth? And if so; that is censorship is it not? And so you are censoring me?
Also need improvement flags have nothing to do with an article not marked as an opinion. No where in improvement rules does it state you have the right to flag because it is not marked as opinion....Here again you make up your own rules?

Sorry, this is an opinion piece.
Paragraphs like this are your opinion:
America you are nothing but spoiled little brats....you have not even been in this world for 250 years yet.....and you go around telling everybody what to do. You wave your political guns with threats and sanctions.....as if you know what is going on in the world. You know nothing.......
I have marked it as such.
Please don't think this is censorship - it is nothing of the sort.

Why not meet me in Shenzhen on April the first and see who is being foolish here, lol You would be wide eyed, I am sorry but I share much of the views of China and America with the writer but not all of them. Your out of your depth talking about China, but thinking about it perhaps it should be marked opinion, its a shame we no "Right Opinion" button, lol
Hey Rev, please use the opinion marker as it will cool down the arguments given in disbelief about the Real China the one thats the reality and not the one of political motivated US media shows.
Hey Amyjudd its worth taking a holiday China is a very good tourist destination and you can wander about of the beaten track and find out the truth concerning China. Hey they don't want to nuke you only sell you the latest IT gadgets and designer clothes, lol

I am sorry Amy...I do not agree with you. It is not an opinion....It is true America thinks it runs the world.....it does not.....

djermano, it is a very interesting post and should generate some great debate on the issue, however it is being side tracked and lost because you refuse to mark it Opinion, since as Amy pointed out some of it clearly is your personal Opinion. I would have recommended it my self if it had not been for this unfunded argument over the whether or not. Babel-Fish did point out here as well to mark it Opinion so the debate could finally start around the issue rather the technicality of the Opinion. Thank you for the post here Rev. It is a great subject that needs to be dealt with.

It is not my personal opinion Paschen...what would you call GW Bush giving everyone the bird? A guy who cares about people? Hardly........You know I could careless if you people stop this article....its your healthcare problem.....not mine......I am doing just fine with the healthcare I have had........in China....for nearly 8 years......and which I never had when I lived in the USA.....Your Loss....... And you can keep your maniac ex-Presibent...and Presibent Oblama the liar as well.

Sign-up to be a part
of the Dramatic Action Planned
for the March 21st Pentagon March
The March 21st March on the Pentagon is shaping up to be a dramatic and highly significant demonstration. From the Pentagon, we will march to the nearby giant corporate offices of Boeing Company, Lockheed Martin Corporation, General Dynamics and KBR (the former subsidiary of Halliburton).
There are 64 departure locations in 20 states bringing thousands of activists to Washington, D.C. Large numbers of students from across the country are mobilizing to join the demonstration.
We will be carrying hundreds of coffins representing the victims of war from Iraq to Afghanistan, Palestine, Pakistan, Lebanon, Somalia, Yemen, and the U.S. GIs who have been killed in the various fronts of George W. Bush’s proclaimed "endless war." Bush is gone but these criminal occupations and unilateral bombing attacks continue each and every day. Tens of thousands more troops are being sent to Afghanistan. In the last month civilian deaths in Iraq spiked and the occupation continues to cost $480 million each day. The people of Gaza are living under siege.
We will deliver these coffins to the doorsteps of the biggest war corporations and profiteers who make up the anchor of the Military-Industrial Complex.
Precious and limited resources are diverted from education, jobs, housing and health care, and given to these war corporations. The huge profits derived from war become an incentive for more war. We need a real change and that’s why we are marching in the thousands on March 21.
There are several ways that you can be a part of this important action:
1) Be part of a team that carries a coffin in the march
2) Bring a coffin to carry in the march
3) Participate in the worksession to prepare the coffins

Labelling it an opinion does not make it any less valid. A personal experience is just as valid, but it is still an opinion, being subjective rather than objective.
at 04:54 on March 15th, 2009
Thanks Star, but that is your opinion....because if indeed I exist and that is an objective fact...I also have objective facts to write about... This is called truth in our lives...But everyone refutes the truth by living in their own opinions and accepting that...Sorry I am not that type of person....So you people get off on telling everyone what you think is an opinion, and what is not... On top of that you all have sabotaged my article...by going off topic....
I would think Editors would be more responsible to following their own rules, but clearly they do not. Why wasn't this article you want to debate me on about labelling it an opinion not addressed only through sending me a message or any writer, instead of littering the comment sections with Opinion labelling rhetoric.?.. Filling comments with this should be labelled an opinion is spam, because it is off the topic and real content of the article.
