This post clearly was meant to be a joke, don't take it so seriously.

let's compare our country to a video game..

Pokemon can't be compared to this. I love Pokemon, but America is more serious. In the game, people aren't arrested for not getting health care, and you don't see the characters dishing out money to an overspending government.

No one's getting arrested for not having health care in real life either. :/

If you don't pay for government run health care [I think I worded that wrong] you can get heavily fined and/or arrested.

oixoutheye is right. You DON'T get arrested, you get fined. And there are subsidies. Sources?: I've been living under a "government run health care" for 28 years.

Just because it's run by the government doesn't mean all of the policies are the same.

And just because it's run by the government, it doesn't mean you can automatically assume you would get arrested for not paying BTW -- There will STILL be private hospitals/clinics. Especially in "profit" America. Just less however. So if you would rather pay than wait. Go right ahead. Sources?: We still got lots of them in Canada. ;)

Lol Pokemon center, and everyone gets healed

by Anonymous 13 years ago

if you cant pay for the health care then what makes them think you can pay a fine?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I wasn't aware that Pokémon centers healed people....

by Anonymous 13 years ago

They don't, but maybe the pokemons pay taxes so they don't have to pay to get healed.

I love the post, and find the enthusiasm people still have to discuss this subject is fascinating, you really care. Or you just don't want to be proven wrong.. Health care FTW!

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I personally find universal healthcare pointless.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

For you. But you don't speak for the millions of Americans who can't afford medical care. Health care would be their only chance.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Well, you're paying for it soo.

Because we should run our country based on a childrens' cartoon. Don't get me wrong, I like Pokemon, but universal healthcare? No way.
