Huh. And yet countries with government health care schemes have the longest life expectancy. Go figure...

Well when you don't have a job, your work-related accident rate is going to be much lower. When you cannot afford a car and gas, your probability of dying in a car crash drop drastically. They might live longer, but I wouldn't really call it a life.

Hey, whatever gets you through the long, cold nights, Skippy. If there's nothing else left, at least you've got words.

I have far more than words. I don't even get a knock-off insurance policy or a subsidy **gasp**.

Don't know what that means, but probably a 'good for you!' is in order.

Not sure what you're asking here. The statements are patently obvious and undeniably true. Death happens to everyone, regardless how wealthy they may be. No amount of wealth can or will ever cheat death.

Tortured logic.

not more moronic than " money cant prevent death "

if they think money has no contribution to their health they may wait for " death " at home

l am speaking according to this interestign logic.

and moreover if money has no importance they should change their lean to socialism too
,
yes l am really speaking according to their funny logic

9]If you're suggesting that the wealthy can afford better care than the poor then [/B]yes, that's certainly the case. Of course the wealthy can also afford better housing, better transportation, better food, etc., etc.

However, none of that means that the wealthy are less likely to get sick and die. They are simply less likely to get sick and die from certain things. Wealth has no impact on cancer, heart problems, communicable diseases and myriad other things.

yes the topic was about it ,not about mortality ,death,scientific improvements to prevent death etc.:shrug:

however even you tend to ignore that money has no ability to cure an illness

money cant prevent a disease but cant cure if both you have money and it is diagnosed in the early stages ?

libertarianist way of thinking must have obtained your souls

That depends upon the illness. Some illnesses can't be cured no matter how much money you have.

never see a doctor when you are ill

Money can prolong one's life, but, ultimately, every human being dies.

Is a long life necessarily a good life?

It's like the song says.... it's better to burn out than to fade away.

I don't think that's true. I'm far from rich, and I always manage to get treated for my illnesses.

Also, are you aware of the Medicaid and Medicare plans here in the US? Medicaid is for those who can't afford healthcare and fall below or near poverty guidelines. Medicare is for people who are retired and no longer can get insurance their employers.

Sometimes it's because people aren't very smart. But sometimes it's because people are being willfully disingenuous.

Figures. Another meaningless comment. We have MEDICARE for people who cannot afford healthcare. Are you saying that's not true?
 
Medusa, I wonder if you even know anything about our healthcare system and how it works here in the US, or if you just listen to liberal talking points about "people dying in the streets" (which is NOT true). The insurance companies are far from perfect but we don't have masses dying because they can't get treatment either.

I'd venture to guess that this is pretty close to the truth.

Nope - she is completely clueless and has no idea what she is talking about.

That very significant "or" is very poignantly absent in your poll.

Why?
