Would the US even need a massive universal health care system if it's people weren't so over weight?

People who do all the recommended things to take care of their health like staying thin also develop heath problems, just at a slightly older age. Fat people may actually save the system money because they tend to have heart attacks which are not as expensive as long term chronic conditions that are common in people over 70.

What are the PROS and CONS of a Single Payer Universal Health Care system?

Wouldn't every American be able to go see a doctor when they needed to?
Wouldn't doctors be guaranteed to be paid?
Wouldn't doctors be able to treat everything that's wrong with you and not just what your HMO approves?
Wouldn't it be possible to initiate an incentive program for doctors who actually cure patients or get them to quit smoking, lower their cholesterol, lose weight, etc.?
Would the government tell doctors how many operations they can perform per year as Republicans contest? No.
Would the government tell doctors where they could practice medicine? No.
Would there be a longer wait to see a doctor? No.
Would any more Americans lose their homes because of debt from medical bills? No.
Would taxes be increased? Yes. But it not only means that every other American can see a doctor for free, but YOU can too!
Thoughts?
I've heard that the cost of Universal Health Care for all Americans can be around $80 Billion per year. That could be covered by a tax increase, but the US government spent $92 Billion in 2006 alone on Corporate Welfare. Why not just END Corporate Welfare? If we can take care of the most fortunate in America, why can't we take care of the LEAST fortunate?

Well I live in the UK.

My partner and I are low wage earners so we pay very little tax.

When I am ill or my baby is ill I go to see a doctor. I don't have to worry about finding the cash to pay for the consultation or drugs.

I see a doctor straight away. I do not have to wait and the care I receive is not substandard, neither have I, contrary to what your hysterical US media has been trying to convince you, ever had to "pull my own teeth out" because of a dentist shortage!!

When my baby was born I received excellent care.

I could not afford to pay private medical insurance, co-pays, deductibles and the cost of medicines. So without the NHS I would not be able to access care for myself and my family.

Guess what, I am SOOOOO thankful to the great Welshman, Aneurin Bevan, for setting up the NHS and giving EVERY British person, man woman and child the right to medical care when they need it - as a human right not a luxury commodity.

So those who bleat "But they have Socialised Healthcare in the UK and it doesn't work" can eat their words. I value our National Health Service and would never ever want to live under your American one.

Oh and by the way, in the UK we have private medicine as well so if you have the money you can buy your healthcare from whoever you want and don't have to bother with the NHS.

This is how Enrico Krog Iversen, MD of Universal Robots describes the well-spring of the Danish establishment in 2003.



Family

At that circumstance Kristian Kassow (now COO) was working on an critique of the requirements for robots in the grub earnestness. At the same epoch, Esben Østergaard (now CTO) and Kasper Støy were working on their PhD put forth about the shop for robots. Together, they recognised that the robotics deal in is characterised by profound, precious and cumbersome robots.

With this sensitivity they sure, with relief from investor Syddansk Invention, to substantiate Universal Robots, with the initiative of making mechanical man technology to hand to all. In 2008 the Danish style investment capital saw the embryonic in the actors and, together with Syddansk Modernization and the presence’s administration, invested DKK 10 million in the obligation.



Scope counts

The UR-6-85-5-A robotic arm that Universal Robots has developed has a full six degrees of free time of motion and yet it weighs in at a unmixed 18 kg and does not necessity a chunky extent or heavy-hearted dirty for investiture. In certainty, on a late smite to South African distributor Plasquip, Thomas Vermland of Universal Robots arrived from Denmark with a show element swollen in two suitcases.



Applications

One very conventional use for the new robotic arm is in the handling of moulded parts from meretricious injection and expel moulding machines. If a household Cartesian tool is acquainted with for such an appeal, the sculpt stretch becomes almost unattainable to child operators because of the gantry formation, whereas the Universal Robots finding out does away with this disarray mess up and the arm folds back to entertain undemanding access.

Another asset that Plasquip sales superintendent, Colin Whitaker, points out is that the drudge exceptionally is carriable – this means that in contraption handling applications a apart arm can accommodate one of several machines. Precisely move it to the clique...
