your "minimalist" system is ripping you off
As I said you and I are paying twice.
I certainly wasn't hating on you for liking our system, it was your opinion on people who find themselves less fortunate than yourself.

it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

I do remember implying I was against federal medical plans, except for the disabled.

Vid is right. The American system works if you can afford medical premiums, if you cannot then it appears no-one cares if your kid is in need of urgent medical attention.
In the other thread, Tikibonbon, you said that you were middle class. This implies to me that it's a case of 'I'm alright, Jack'. Having a bit of money should not preclude you from caring about others less fortunate in your own society.
The scenario in the thread above would never happen in the UK. For that reason, and presumably thousands more of a similar nature, it is far better to have the Welfare State than the system that the US operates.
This totally over-rides any other consideration.

The number of times one hears, or reads in a newspaper "Why should I go out and work, I would get less than on the social" it really galls me.
Particularly when there are chaps who are not fit for work, but still insist on doing anything they can, to fend for themselves and be as little a drain as possible.
However I still say keep the system. I would rather feed the parasites than let the truly needy down. Just be more robust on identifying the parasites.
