  8.  @AnonYMouse-ky4sg  "Just because Finland is 0.1 higher than the US doesn't discount the fact that AS A WHOLE Nordic countries' suicide rates are below America's." You're twisting the narrative in here. You can't just look at them as a whole, since they are very different from each others. If as individual they show difference in suicide rate, then it already points out that it isn't the welfare system that makes them happy. "Having 0.1 higher suicide rates compared to much higher freedom and happiness is a non factor." Actually it's very big factor when were talking about happiness. How can country with extremely high suicide rate be counter as happy?   "The USA has a bigger population size but also A BIGGER ECONOMY, the #1 in the world in fact. We can afford to do it MORE than Finland can." Actually that economy of yours is based on how much more population USA has. When we actually take into account population difference... Then the economy of USA isn't that great. Also, it would literally double your current spending. Not even with 100% of taxation on the rich you could afford it. "What does providing medical knowledge, techniques, and tech have to do with healthcare INSURANCE? " Because those are paid by the healthcare system. Prices are also high due the fact that they use that money to develop. "Even if we don't talk about insurance, 88% of Finnish respondents were satisfied with their healthcare's quality of service when surveyed. " Never asked me, nor did they ask my family members who died due public healthcare purposefully avoiding doing proper check ups. "So you're full of shit, and I doubt you're Finnish." Voin mä puhua suomeeki jos et usko. Vielläpä slangilla.

  9.  @AnonYMouse-ky4sg  1. That is the topic what there was. Why argue over happiness if welfare is not part of it? 2. You're kind of proving my point. These are countries where more people feel unhappy to the point that they rather kill themselves. 3. You're mixing up GDP with wealth of the nation, or the people who live in there. It's easy to increase gdp artificially. And Finland can't afford it. What part of being in debt you forgot? "We are not okay with thousands dying every year due to falling into " And even more die if your policies would be implement due whole economy collapsing. "being afraid of going to the doctor for preventative procedures." HAHAHAHAH you're an idiot you know that right? You do realize that public healthcare doesn't provide preventative procedures. You get treated basically only when you cough blood and it's too late at that point. "You're immoral if you like our system. " demonizing opponent. I'm pretty sure that I have donated more money to charities when I were poor, than you in your whole life time. 5. That would be you. That is why you rely on statistics that are poorly done. 6. "There's no way a Fin would be claiming America can't have single payer healthcare insurance when every other industrialized nation in the world has it." Unless they actually have studied economics and know how to count. Also no... Not every industrialized nation has single payed system. You have no clue what you're talking about, not even Finland has that. "No Google Translate can change that logic," I spoke in slang. Which is something that google translation doesn't know. Find any finn from anywhere and they will tell you how much full of shit you are. "Wouldn't be surprised if you're a sock puppet account for the other commenter," Sock puppet accounts aren't over 10-years old.

  18.  @rileymiller7786  "I did say multiple times that he could site statistics and facts to back up his claim. " I don't care what you said to him. Also simply posting statistics around doesn't really mean that you understand said statistics or that they have been made well. "No the US does not pay for the Nordic countries social welfare." I never said that. Directly they don't, but they enable it by providing military help in case they are invaded. Even when Finland is not part of Nato, we are still co-operating with USA. "You’ll find that these Nordic countries spend about 1% of their GDP on their military which is the same for almost all other countries." Nope, Doesn't apply to Finland. And that is because we actually live next to a country that can be a threat. "What does military might have to do with anything?" Military is the most vital function of any government on the planet. If it's possible to cut it's spending by having another country defending you. Then you have more money on other services. "If you got to choose what country you lived in, are you going to prioritise a countries populations health and wellbeing for the size of its military? " None of these countries would exists without having strong defensive forces. "Is simply wrong and I urge you to watch this video which basically refuted all anti Medicare " Not going to watch long video when I already provided actual raw numbers to prove my point. You can do the math yourself. Oh wait... I'm dealing with left winger. I guess I need to provide for you. Source for social service spending. Ministry of social affairs and health. 69.1 Billion. Population size 5.5 million USA population 328 million. Let's compare the difference in population. 328 million divided by 5.5 million = 59,63636363636364 Then add the cost of project. To that difference. 69.1 billion times 59,63636363636364 = 4120872727272,728 Now let's turn that into dollars. 4,667,927,637,357.704 USD. Aka 4.6 trillion dollars. You would be doubling the current spending. There is literally no way for you guys to pay it.

  26.  @rileymiller7786  You don't even know what Gish gallop is? it's basically debate tactic where you flood your opponent with information and arguments without giving them time to address them. Or makes it so that it's extremely tedious to address every point he made. "That video showed that Medicare could indeed be paid for in the US and would actually be cheaper than the current system. " He didn't show, he claimed. And he didn't say that it's cheaper than current system on total to the government. In fact it would be more expensive to the government and tax payers. He simply compared it to how much people already pay combined in private and public sector. However it still wouldn't remove the cost made by regulatory burden created by government of USA, and like always shown in history. Everything government does is less effective than private. For same reason no one in here uses public healthcare system if they have something serious. " You’re just butthurt that your maths got debunked " He didn't debunk my math. In fact he didn't even address it. "Ok 1 I’m not just talking about Finland here, two the average suicide rate in the Nordic countries " Moving a goalpost. Existence of Finland already breaks your correlation. "Your healthcare refute was pitiful, if you’re seriously suggesting that the US healthcare system is superior to that of the Nordic countries, then you’re clueless." System? Depends how you define what is better. But when it comes to quality of doctors and treatment... Yeah USA has it better. Thanks to their system they even provide new medical knowledge, techniques and tech that other countries don't produce. "Your Personal experience doesn’t speak for your entire country + Norway, Sweden and Denmark’s. Statistics show these counties are healthier. " Correlation does not imply causation. As said, this can be explained with healthier life style, and genetics. " but you’re crazy if you think discrimination is more a problem there than in the states. " Depends how you define discrimination. But again, come here and find out.

  32.  @rileymiller1294  "I want to clarify, want is your actual position on this US Nordic countries thing, is your position that the US is a better place to live than these countries?" In some cases, yet and in some no. Depends on state you live in and what you actually value the most.  "Continuing with the healthcare debate The money is saved by using a public healthcare system (still retaining private health) by reducing the huge overhead wastage costs." you do realize that the whole wastage cost is purely based on government regulations? Regulations that nordic countries don't even have. " the second biggest source of savings would be through the ridiculously high pharmaceutical drugs, with the US spending on average twice as much for their pharmaceuticals than other high income nations." Regulations <3... Not to mention tarrifs. But then again... Why I'm surprised that left winger never even thinks why the prices are so high. "its been measured that the US would save 2 trillion from this over 10 years" Colleges got more expensive once government started to intervene with it. What makes you think that those companies won't just increase the prices since they know that tax payers will pay them anyway? "Also are you happy with thousands of Americans dyeing yearly because that cant afford healthcare? or 29 million Americans being uninsured? " It's people's own responsibility to take care of their own health. If we look at them at individual cases, we will most likely find some drug addicts who prioritize getting a new shot over getting medical treatment. " or 29 million Americans being uninsured? " This is bad why? "Also cut the appeal to authority crap." It's a logical fallacy, so maybe you should stop? Also Rand paul and Ron paul were both doctors. Both disagree with you. "Sweden, England, Denmark, Japan, Germany, France, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland... all have some form of universal healthcare." All are countries which have been lately cutting their spending in welfare projects and countries that have huge debt issues because of welfare projects. Plus lot of those are actually more free economically and have less corporate tax rates. Now I need to make another comment because otherwise youtube won't show this.

  35.  @rileymiller7786  It's a fallacy, look it up. Very common one in fact. "did I say that? No. Again I’ll repeat myself. " Yes you did and I quote: " and it’s coming from an experienced doctor." Like as if him being doctor is somehow relevant. "Why do you think studies always include the person occupation?" Good question. Why do you take marx seriously even though he isn't economist? "Because it adds credibility to their claim." No it doesn't. In studies no one cares are you doctor or not. They care how the study was made and can it be repeated. "Show me where these governments have been cutting there social spending" How? You want to read articles in Finnish? How big part of the country got angry because of the cuts? "Yes regulations, like no shit, the government needs to regular the pharmaceutical companies." No they don't, and most of those regulations are purely there because they were lobbied by big corporations to keep smaller competition down. "then the pharmaceutical companies set their price extremely high because they no the consumer really dosent have a choice if he wants to cure his illness," They have choice to buy the medicine elsewere. The profit margin in actual products is actually pretty low. "ell the Proposed universal US system wants to get rid of this private overhead cost, your finish government didn’t? Cool, irrelevant" You haven't shown any data to support this claim. "ahhh if the studies show that North Koreans are living a higher life expectancy and not dieing due to not being able to afford healthcare like in the US" Correlation does not imply causation, and you're missing the point. Again, higher life expectancy can be explained by many different factors. " But what use is it if you can’t afford it?" Insurances, charities, take a loan etc... ". Are you ok with this? You didn’t answer" Again, it's not my responsibility to pay life choices of others. Most of the medical problems are purely caused by lifestyle and people being stupid.

  42.  @rileymiller7786  Just google "Finland eu debt". You find tons of articles about it. You can look into any of those countries economics and debt clock easily. IF you have hard time finding those informations then you're not capable to these discussions in the first place. It's not like they are hidden by some studies behind a pay wall. "When I’ve tried to search, I’m just finding stuff on how good it is!" Aka your IQ is too low to even use google. Nice "I actually find it hilarious that you are repulsed by me because I’m a leftist, so much so that your too scared to talk to me on something like discord. for what?" Leftists are known to resort violence whenever they want. Scared? Rofl... anyone can surprise anyone and there is long history of left wingers being fanatics over their ideology that they would be even willing to killing millions of people in their mad attempts. "ou must be repulsed by Republicans too, because even the majority of them want UBH you numpty. " Claim that is not backed up by any data. "Basically every wealthy country except the US has a universal healthcare" Not an argument. "but apparently you know better than all the economist," That's funny because it's literally the economists who speak against this. Nobel prize winner ones as well. " In fact, it sounds like you want a even freer health market than the one the US has." Actually lot of countries you look up to... Have freer market than USA. "with your system, there would literally be people dying on the streets. " Doesn't happen unless they ruin themselves. "People who can’t afford healthcare would literally just die because they can’t afford it." Literally anyone who works can afford it. " Get on discord you coward so I can educate your dumb ass" You act exactly like some guy who pretended to be a wolf on steam forums. In fact he went as crazy as you, and then started to throw death threats around. Just read your own comment. You sound like someone who got hit into head as a child.

  44.  @sorennilsson9742  "so by not investing in the USA the people who initially worked hard to generate the profit losses" By investing in USA they will make loss and go bankrupt. By investing in Asia they will gain wealth which they use in USA. Want them to invest in USA? Cut the taxes and regulations.  " Even if you cut the taxes down to 10% there are nations out there that has lower taxes" Correct, but you fail to understand that it's costly to trade across the sea. USA happens to be in good spot when it comes to trading routes. You're basically saying that people should have even smaller chance to compete against other countries. "By having higher taxes, investing them in infrastructure, education and reaserch one can make ones nation competitive thereby increasing production in once nation. " false, there is limit how much investing in infrastructure will bring wealth. Same with education. For example Finland has good education, but we still don't have as many billionaires and millionaires as USA. Education isn't a magical pill as solution. Because what is the point of having highly educated country if no one puts that talent to use? Soviets had all of that yet they struggled. "We have seen money constantly leaving the USA for 40 years," Your comment makes no sense. What do you think that Chinese guy will do with a USD in a china? Nothing, unless they use it to buy American products. "The budget and tradedefecit will brake the economy, the debt is now over 22 trillion" Debt literally caused by federal government alone by spending too much. Your lack of knowledge is pretty high.

  47.  @rileymiller7786  My actual expertise is IT. I could easily track you through security holes on Discord. "You are so wack bro, like I’m going hop on a plane and fly to Finland you fucking doofus." Or just ask some far left anarchist group in here to do something. It's pretty obvious that you people have connections. And in all honesty, that has happened before. The suggestion you just had made. There is literally 0 reasons to do this discussion on discord, when it can be done in here. "You’re clearly too insecure to chat to anyone, I understand" What? How is this related to someone being insecure? You have some serious issues if you think that someone can be insecure over voice chat. "Why do you think no wealthy country has your system in place? " Why do you think that all the most wealthiest countries have most freest markets on the planet? While countries with lot of regulations and government control/ownership are poor? ". You just admitted you’re ok with thousands if not millions dying because they can’t afford it " If they can't afford it, then the society can't afford it. And I never said that I'm okay with thousands of people dying. That is a strawman from your part. I simply stated that there are better solutions than stealing from future generations. "oh yeah all the people who get cancer and other sickness, fuck them by your logic. You’re a sick human being, who lacts any empathy " Sure that's why I donate big junk of my wealth monthly... Because I'm sick human being who lacks any empathy. Cancer and other sickness are actually very rare things, and can be treated pretty cheaply depending on the severity. However get cancer in public healthcare and you will die before you get treatment. At least you can be in debt and alive in USA. "Oh yeah, show me all these economists who want a total free market health system, I’ll wait. " Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek, both are Nobel winners. Then Johan Norbeg. Those three I can name out of my hat. Most economist stand for free market since they understand that more free the market is, the better opportunities people have to make business. "I bet you’re in favour of scrapping the minimum wage too you maniac" Nordic countries don't have minimum wage laws and wages are higher than in USA. "Here’s you link to show that 70% of Americans are dissatisfied with their current private system" Does not mean that they are in favor for public healthcare. Also you can't trust polls. Didn't the last election already show why? "you’re just a scared, Insecure little girl" Calling me as a girl? Is that suppose to be an insult? Seems like left wingers are bigger sexists than right wingers. Yep you went full crazy the moment you started doing thrash talk and avoided all the points I had made. I already know how crazies like you work. Done this before.
