Today I went to a clinic with family to receive some shots, and the cost was covered by our government run Universal health care program. However, I come to the understanding in THIRD WORLD countries, healthcare is not government run, universal and paid through taxes. Do you pay for health care in your country? What are other Challenges you face for living in a third world country and without universal health care related to health?

Pretty bad, but it is improving. It is free and government run

Nice, you live in a first world country I assume, as having free health care is a sign of a civilized nation. Europe or Canada?

So far, in the US, healthcare is mostly provided by the private healthcare industry, but, with laws proposed by our president, healthcare will become more government-run.

I hear in third world countries like Pakistan, terrorists oppose free vaccinations for polio! Only terrorists that are against civilization would oppose any type of free health care, it's a shame that such backwards fools hold sway over a sane majority in third world countries. Though in those types of countries there are always people who try to push some type of universal health hare, but the terrorists and terrorist sympathizers always fight them.

@The0Arctic0Fox The main issue is that some things covered under most health insurance, like vaccinations, preventative care, etc. can be considered to be going against religious or moral values. Hence why some Middle Eastern countries do not like some of the more modern healthcare systems in the US and Europe.

"it's tax-payer provided" Well, in the US tax-payers pay for care, also. Just not through taxes.

And when the government takes your money it's not yours any more. It's theirs. It's their money and they're spending it on health care. The government is providing healthcare.

The system going on in Canada is certainly better than the survival-of-the-fittest system going on in the US. The differences between the two countries is that Canadians do not have a problem with the government forcing them to help.

I don't really want to pay for a stranger's healthcare.

You're not paying. The government is. Like I said, it's the governments money. It's better to spend it on ensuring your citizens are healthy then that huge military you have.

It's the people's money that they worked hard for and the government is forcing them to spend it on something they don't use.

That's normal with every government. It's not the peoples money any more, it's the governments. The government is spending it. If you want to live in a civilized society you have to pay for it, if you want no taxes go live in some anarchy in Africa. The government is also forcing you to pay for the military and the politicians salary yet you and your conservative buddies never complain about that, you only complain when the money is being used to actually help other people.

In the US there's a large belief that people should only be concerned about themselves and should not care about the well-being of fellow humans or the Earth itself. You people are strong Christians and strong social Darwinists.

For your information, pretty much no one likes taxes and my dad complains about them no matter what they're for.
