Most people and we spend far less then U.S. per capita on healthcare actually every country does. We have some of the best healthcare and I would say 95%+ prefer our system.
What post and why do you feel sorry for us?
I agree with Stossel.
I am of the opinion that every person, apart from being the sole owner of his physical body, has the right to employ his private property in any way he sees fit so long as he does not initiate aggression against others. I consider aggression to be the initiation or threatening of violence against a person or legitimately-owned property of another. Specifically, any unsolicited actions of others that physically affect an individual’s property or person, no matter if the result of those actions is damaging, beneficial, or neutral to the owner, are considered violent or aggressive when they are against the owner's free will and interfere with his right to self-determination and the principle of self-ownership.
I would argue that the public accommodations part of the law ought to be done away with, because it is precisely the sort of initiation of aggression I oppose, while the person who excludes someone from his property may be being a dick, but is not initiating aggression against anyone or their property.
I know about 50 personally that would disagree. He and I make realtively the same, because of your healthcare system almost 50% of his pay goes to the Canadian goverment, and then when something serious comes up people die waiting for service. What a scummy country.
I want to see actual proof and if he is paying 50% of his income in tax and complain about how expensive healthcare is does he know it pays into other things besides healthcare? If he is paying 50% he is either making a large amount of money where 50% generally doesn't hurt you or has the worst accountant in history or does not know anything his fiances at all.
The area is nearly 80% African American. Surely you don't believe that losing 80% of your consumer base has no effect on revenues? I'm not saying that it won't happen in some places, but I have a very hard time buying that it wouldn't affect business.
Canadian health care is cheap, by and large, because of no assumed R&D costs. Essentially the world is a free rider on America's scientific, technological, and medical breakthroughs.
Lots of people don't want to hear that...but...oh well.
discrimination laws, are not criminal.
Well, they are right now. That's the point.
there statutory laws
criminal law, sends you to jail,...... if i discriminate, i can be closed down and fined.
but people act as though you have done a crime.

That would due to social laws. Unwritten laws.
what are .......unwritten laws?
You're right they're more like involuntary servants that have to do your bidding or face punishment.

Each person is the rightful owner of his own body, and he may use it in any way as long as he don't use it to initiate aggression against others. For people to tell him how he must use his body (do business with someone) is an initiation of aggression against him. Such action is unjust and unethical.
Rules we live by that aren't codified. Every society has them. They function much like you described.
Now that was hyperbolic. Just saying . . . ..

i think you would mean a moral fabric.
there can be no rules /laws, which have no authority behind them, anyone or group trying to assert a power not placed within there powers, IE. federal state, or local....are setting themselves up as having powers over others.
I apologize, because I realize I misspoke. I said "For people to tell him how he must use his body". What I left off was that it is not a suggestion, but a command, a command accompanied by a threat. This threat is what constitutes an initiation of aggression.
I apologize for leaving out that detail.
