No no John, don´t misunderstand my words. When I refer to the "capitalism empire" I´m not doing it as some kind of disrespect or anything, I feel you took my words like if I was some spece of communist or somthing similar and you are wrong. When I said what I said I just told that it´s surprising to me that in a country with such economic tradition based in the pure competence and demand/offer it´s suposed that there should be if not the best very good products, so I was schocked by the fact of hearing most of you say that the european diapers are simply better than the american ones. I´m abosultely not refering to politic at all, anyway, not being communist at all I truly believe that the spanish health system where every citizen has medical asistence for the fact of being citizen is more fair than the situation of just having hospital or treatment if you have the money for a private inssurance. Nevertheless I´m objective and I´m conscious and aware that those "rights" are payed with quite higher taxes than you americans pay, and I respect the opinion that with all that taxes in US you´d have money enough for paying your private doctor and hospital. But what about who can´t afford in any way those investments? As all it has its advantages and disadvantages but analysing I prefer this, but it´s my opinion. Because if you want the best doctor of course here you also have to pay, here the public sanity is just for basic things but basic means cancer treatments, hospital, AIDS drugs, surgery in case of life risk, and so. And as I posted before it alos covers my diapers Tena totally and any other medication in the catalog, but that´s not for spanish, that´s for spanish with more than 65% physical disability (I´m 66%) and income inferior to 5.000€/year, if I wouldn´t have disability or have more money I´d pay the 40% of everything I said. And if you earn more than 20.000€ you pay 50% and more than 100.000€ you pay 60%. But EVERYBODY with that earning per year has private inssurance and it´s not compatible with the public, so if you want private you have to choose between one or the other. But isn´t it more fair for poor people, or unemployed or disabled who can´t work?? (in fact with my 65% and no job at the moment I also receive 360€ per month from the government, it is not too much but better than anything)
I´m starting to be too boring I think, but the principal ideas are: I respect the USA system and there´s some things that I honestly think are better than ours and in no way I critisyce the "capitalism" I refered, so please I hope after this you have a better interpretation of my meaning. I insist in my admiration for some of your market and working behavious, but what I meant is that I didn´t understand how the diapers sold there are worse as the ones sold here, and that´s it. And about public health I see the advantages of your system but I just said I think this one is fair for those with less resources, and that was it. As I told if you are rich and you have private then you have to pay as you do there but all the population has the right to a minumum health care and asistance. Obviously if I could (and if I can in the future) sure I´d have a private health inssurance!! But now I have what I do thanks to this, and I repeat that I´m the first pro-democratic and what think about the communists isn´t too good, I can swear you that. I recognise here in Spain and europe there´s a bit of "yankees aversion" but I am noy one of those with my mind alienated with others absurd ideas. Luckily God gave the smartness enough to have my own criterion. And I don´t feel offended for your first impression I just want to clarify what I intended to say. ok??
I expect with this large speech I explained myself enough. Salutations to all of you and thanks for your answers, and I´ll be charmed is there is more!! Bye, and until the next post.
