what do Polish people think of the USA

many countries have it, and yes the former Commie nations had it too. Under the COmmunists the state-run health systems were shoddy but they were there, and they did their jobs on a basic level despite many many shortcomings. Better than no healthcare, as they say. Now allmost all industrialized nations have some form of national healthcare except, as we all know, the USA. Polls show over and over again that most (not all, but still most) Americans want it, but they won't get it because Congress in the USA is bought and paid for by the AMA and the insurance industry.

what do you think of America?

It`s over.

Get a job and you will get healthcare.

Get a job and you will get healthcare. I don't want the government to dictate about my healthcare.

She was also wondering where all of the obese people were. She heard that there's an enormous obesity problem, but only saw a few here and there and didn't see it as big of a problem that everyone makes it appear to be. Maybe it's just where we were visiting. NY-NJ-NC.

Randompol, you can buy a high-deductible policy from any insurance company and if you are poor, the state has policies based on income. We like private health insurance because we have choices.

The problem with America, is it's full of Americans that have lost the understanding on the foundations of how our country works. We'll sit and point fingers and Bush all day, but tend to leave out the part about the American people voting him or any other politician in office. It's why they are called 'elected officials.' Americans have quickly shifted into 'autopilot' mode and want someone else to do all the decision making for them. We're generally ignorant and all of the major problems we face now are due to our ignorance being exploited like a sleazy car salesmen. But there is no one to blame but ourselves.

Yet, our American culture has caught this virus in the last few decades of "blame someone else." It's why our court systems are congested with absolutely ridiculous lawsuits, because American people have a hard time accepting responsibility for their actions. It shows itself on every level of our culture. Some are more severe than others.

We can't have a government for the people; by the people -- if those people are indifferent to everything outside of their tiny bubble. That's ignorance(not stupidity) and we've got to change that.
