Is that the case though? How many countries (other than the US) don't have socialised healthcare?

Well in America we do not tolerate pussies who can't over come the odds placed on them. Americans are a tougher bunch, we can do everything! Including praying our genetically descendant medical conditions right out of existence!

Well maybe Afghanistan and Iraq, or does that not count since they were invaded by the US as well...

People getting married for health insurance is pretty common in the us. My ex gf's mother was diabetic & being diabetic is a pre-existing condition. At age 39 she had the option of paying $2500 a month for health insurance or get married to her bf who had excellent benefits at his job. So she got married.

The best part is that spending billions and billions of dollars to "save" Iraqis and Afghans is way cool, but giving your own population access to health care is below satan.
Thing is, I am sure Conservatives are ecstatic over things like this. Marriage and loyalty are the cornerstones of any flourishing community, of course.
