Right now, one third of your income goes to your government to provide you with healthcare and whatever else your government provides. It isn't like that in America. In America, you don't pay federal taxes until you hit a certain level of income (which you would be below at this time) and whatever you receive as far as support from the federal level wouldn't cost you anything. Right now, a substantial number of Americans don't pay taxes but receive all kinds of benefits/subsidies.


For the last time, you don't know America as well as I do. You don't know Americans as well as I do. You don't know Republicans at all because you have none. How hard would it be for China to step in with a similar system already in place? Me, I'm glad that I'm in the United States with at least 64'000'000 American who would give China all kinds of fits because its system is so much different than your countries. BTW, 64,000,000 at least is ten times larger than 6,400,000. Perspective.

Least in NZ we are aware that everyone deserves automatic healthcare treatment and even the poorest of the poor can get healthcare without someone saying do you have insurance before treating you. Our medicine is also a heck of a lot cheaper too. So perhaps you also have something to learn about NZ. As far as I am concerned, given I am raising money for a lady in America so that she can get her legs treated before she looses them thanks to your wonderful healthcare system we have it better overall for everyone here with universal healthcare. There would be some changes I would make, but it is better for everyone in my books.

She must make to much money to qualify for Obamacare or have an issue that requires a very expensive surgery that may or may not save her legs. It would be nice to live in a small  secluded nation that's more centered on local type issues. Lady, based on what you've told me about yourself, I've got everything you dream about/talk about having some day. You're going to have a hard time convincing someone like me that your system of preference (government controlled) is better than the system that we prefer (individually controlled). Perspective.

She is unable to work due to her condition and she has a son who has a mental disability. She is extremely poor and has a mystery ailment that needs a specialist to study what is wrong. Apparently she cannot afford it. Sir, my mother has overspent and on top of it put a caveat on the house. My situation is that i have to help pay off her debt so it is wise to get an understanding of my very individual circumstance which my mother put me in. It has nothing to do with our system and everything to do with my mothers individual greed. Sorry, but you seem to be covering yourself over with already preconceived ideas ad closing the door without knowing the full picture with regards to me. Ehem....perspective.

I knew about your situation with your mother. You've told us a lot about yourself including the situation with your mother. You've told us a lot about your country as well. I get the picture, so to speak. You given me enough of the picture to form some opinions and make some decisions. I'm a Republican voter. I've been told that Republican voters are very very rare in your part of the world.

New Zealand is not a republic; it is a constitutional monarchy... a Dominion of which the reigning monarch of the Kingdom of England is the head. A "republican" party in England would be seeking to sever that tie.

Taramarie has a toxic relationship with her mother, something having nothing to do with politics.
