Denmark has free health care, actually its not really free they get taxed like 60% of their income to pay for it but anyone can go to the hospital and doesn't have to pay anything wither your paying your share or not. [/QB][/QUOTE]

I don't know where you got that figure from. I just did a little quick search and although not the most credible source wikipedia states that tax burden in Denmark in 2008 will amount to 47.7% second only to Sweden. However the average wage in Denmark for a manufacturing plant worker is US$39.15(inflation?) The united States is the only industrialized country that does not make health care accessible to all citizens. It is easy to sit there and say, "Oh it will cost us this and that", but wait until you fall flat on your face and not by your own doing/causing it could be a car accident, illness, or any number of things. Shit happens to good people, honest people, and hard working Americans. We need something in place to help them out. I am sure you would be singing a different song and dance if something unfortunate happened to you or your family; especially if you had children that couldn't see a doctor, or had to make a choice between milk and prescription medicine. Look around us the Britt's have universalized, as have the Canadians, and did you know that one of the top places in the world to get medical care is in Cuba? The best medicine is preemptive treatment. It cost a lot more for someone to run to the E.R. for the flu than it would to give that same person a flu shot. It is okay though, I understand that people are probably naive and ignorant about how many people suffer in this country. Just because you were blessed with parents who raised you with silver spoon does not mean everyone else has. Furthermore, Americans on average die sooner than our same counterparts in Canada. Did you also know that the United States ranks among last in "Health" meaning doctors, nurses, and treatments? It is time for change. I am not saying it is going to be perfect, there will be bumps in the road, but it will vastly improve the quality of life that we have as Americans. I respect John McCain he is a living legend the man has accomplished and done things unfathomable However, McCain is more Bush Policy. We have spent 8 horrendous years under that idiot. It is time to improve our standing and position in the world and I for one do not want another four years of the same. Obviously I am not the only one, the people are speaking and it was obvious two years ago when Congress shifted power and it is obvious now. People want change it is that simple. [/QB][/QUOTE]
Personal experience, family friends in Denmark. I can change the figure in Wikipedia if you only believe what you read on that site.

I stand corrected, according to Guinness
Book of world Records they are the heaviest taxed; between 42-68% depending on what your income is. However, I did mention that Wikipedia was not the most credible source and it was a quick search not a college report. Denmark has other problems as well, like inflation. I think you are mis-representing that fact as well,they are not being taxed that high because of health care.
