    "How badly broken is... " reads way better than "How badly is ... broken"

    This is just your opinion. I disagree.

    Holy crap. I am a native english speaker

    Then why don't you know that names of countries, along with words derived from them, should be capitalized?

    Most developed societies recognize this by having long ago instituted single-payer systems. It is expensive

    Not necessarily. The US government spends more per capita on healthcare than the UK does, but doesn't cover everyone. Not even close.

    Taxes go up by 20%, so they put their prices up by 20%, right? Wrong! If the market would bear it, they'd already be charging the higher price.

    If taxes went down would they drop their prices because Uncle Fester would be going "Hey folks, we've already got enough"?

    Don't think so. Isn't the general consensus here that they're nanny-state cawmanusts?

    There are a lot of countries that would benefit more from their high skill workers going into medicine, etc.

    So, where do you think those profits go?

    People's salaries, which get income taxed.

    Having timezones is like setting something once, in a header file or something.

    People used spices to cover up the smell of stale and spoiled foods for centuries.

    Bullshit. If you could afford enough spices to do that, you could afford food that wasn't off.

    And no amount of spices will remove botulism or salmonella pathogens.
