Huh? I thought they had universal health care. - ummmm MU - 3/10 13:10:16

The number of afflicted is overwhelming the number of beds - DC Jayhawk KU - 3/10 13:12:16

but....it's universal. They should make it happen(nm) - dangertim MU

- 3/10 13:27:48

The universal refers to the coverage. - DC Jayhawk KU - 3/10 13:29:08

everyone is not covered (nm) - pickle MU

- 3/10 13:36:35

No, not eveyone is covered - ummmm MU - 3/10 13:34:06

No, I don't - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/10 13:46:46

The same thing will happen in the USA if the virus - MrBlueSky MU - 3/10 13:39:39

But no one alleges that the US has universal health care. - ummmm MU - 3/10 13:42:14

The difference, ummm, in Italy - MrBlueSky MU - 3/10 13:45:07

Many are also not even getting treated though they paid tax - TigerMatt STL - 3/10 14:02:35

If a private company came in and set up pop-up mobile - ummmm MU - 3/10 13:49:38

of course he would - ashtray UF - 3/10 14:21:59

Nope that's not what I've said. - MrBlueSky MU - 3/10 14:44:15

Nope. (nm) - MrBlueSky MU - 3/10 14:57:03

then what? - ashtray UF - 3/10 14:59:24

The people profiting off health and sickness - MrBlueSky MU - 3/10 15:04:21

so insurance should be banned? - ashtray UF - 3/10 15:07:02

- 3/10 13:47:31

That's IF they get a bed - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/10 13:47:25

The point being that "universal" health care is a myth. - ummmm MU - 3/10 13:13:55
