  Electro Robot

  I'll tell you, everyone's for limiting and rationalizing health care so that 'all' can have some, until they're the ones who are turned down.

  Canada, the UK, France and Germany are all democracies.. If socialized medicine was so unpopular in those countries the electorate would by now have voted to get rid of it.

  Unlike in the US there does not appear to be any great groundswell of public support for changing the system whereby medical services are delivered in those countries.

  In all those countries it is quite possible to go to a private doctor outside of the government provided services, no one is being flatly denied anything they can pay for or might have private insurance to cover.

  Everyone hates lawyers until they need to sue someone then it's "Kill Him!!!"

  I've never sued anyone in my life and yet I do not hate lawyers, I recognize them as a necessary part of a society which operates by means of the rule of law.

  I do know a few lawyer jokes though:

  Q: Why do lawyers wear neckties?

  A: To keep their foreskins from sliding back up over their heads.

  Q: How can you tell the difference between a dead possum in the road and a dead lawyer in the road?

  A: There are skid marks before the possum.

  Then there is the old joke about why lab rats are being replaced with lawyers.. The lab assistants were becoming emotionally attached to the rats and there are some things even rats won't do.

  You appear to be projecting your own anger on others that do not share that anger, your posts seem very angry and vituperative almost without exception.
