What's the difference between free education and free health care?

Q. With all this talk about reforming health care, I hear a lot of people talking about not wanting to pay for other's health care and about how free health care isn't a right. Don't we use a tax-based system for education or am I missing something? What's the difference?

A. $10,500,000,000,000


Who wants to march on Washington DC for free health care in the USA?
Q. May, 2008 I am planning a march on Washington DC for free health care in the USA. This is a great cause and our nation really needs to join the rest of the western world in the idea of a we society not a me society. I was wondering how everyone feels about this cause and who's with me in the fight to get free and universal health care?

A. Go ahead, it's a free country. Just be sure you post the date and time of your little get-together. I only live 3 hours from DC. I'll be sure to drop by with my "death to socialism" posters in hand.


Are you entitled to free health care if your a full time student?
Q. Does anybody know if you can get free health care? I'm 18 and need oral surgery but can't afford it. Anybody know how to get access to any free health care?

A. Provision of free medical assistance to student is a policy matter. If the policy of your country and college or institution allows the free assistance then you will get the oral surgery at no cost. Please consult some of the doctors who are associated with your college and get the requisite information from them. Good Luck


What does free health care mean for future and current doctors?
Q. I know in most places where there is free health care, doctor's salaries are dramatically less than here in the U.S. Whats going to be the incentive for an aspiring medical student if they can just go get another job that requires half the schooling but the same salary? hmmmm sounds a bit like communism to me. Thank you for your thoughts.

A. It sounds more like Socialism to me. First, there is nothing free, we would pay up the preverbial butt for socialized medicine, I know that Denmark, Sweden and Norway have taxes that exceed 50 to 60 percent of their earnings. If you were driven to be a doctor and help people you would not think of the money as first priority, not all doctor's are rich. So don't go to school and be a custodian, which one, if the salaries were the same, would you pick? Want to work in a mini-mart or help sick people?
Incentive? Because you can, because it is the thing you are good at, because you can make a difference, better than telling someone there are no more large "Slurpy" cups!
