You mentioned the living condition of the impoverished.

I was addressing what you brought up before you decided to change the subject.

 

Im not claiming they live well…that’s you.

 

That's a very subjective statement

 

Yea I grew up in Fondren Southwest…. Try living in some of those apartments over there and tell me how well it is…

 

Its the median. It means everyone does better than their French counterparts

 

What was so bad about the apartments? I lived off Antoine which is the north side eqivalent of Fondren. My apartment wasn't luxurious but it was very comfortable

 

Europeans aren't healthier because they have healthcare, they're healthier because they aren't fat asses

There is personal responsibility to your health and this is just about poor Americans

 

Dude what are you reading

 

this is as stupid as your claim

that Ivanka Trump, an executive w the Trump co and draws a salary, is a consultant to the co.​

 

You sure like to make declarative statements about things you don't know much about. And then later...you'll admit..."well, I didn't really read anything about that..."

 

Exactly. So I bring facts to the table to back my argument

 

So Americans aren't fatter than Europeans?

 

Didn't say a word about that.

 

You don't say **** but talk ****. I back my declarative statememts. You just peanut gallery divk ride. You come in threads with your arrogant judgement and never bring anything useful to the discussion

Then when responded to you got the nerve to react like you brought something worth responding to

 

I will concede European countries have better healthcare. French for example also have higher taxes.

It seems like I'm jumping from subject to subject but quality of life is a very broad subject. There is something to be said for economic opportunity.

Statistically poor people who have been judged to be poor by our government have very good healthcare in Medicaid, better than most Americans.

Everyone else has economic opportunity. That counts in judging quality of life. Other than that America has plenty of safety net programs for the poor. The idea that European poor have it better is just a debatable opinion

 

Ok, you haven't brought any facts to support that subjective statement. The poor living well in this country based on what? 12% of the population suffers from malnutrition and struggles to have enough to eat. That's living well?

 

Medicaid is for primarily for children, the elderly, and disabled, with less than 20% for the working poor - I already told you that, and you are misconstruing things here. Most of the people without health insurance are not the middle class, but the poor. In European countries, the poor have far better access to health care. So your argument doesn't make any sense.

 

Here is the thing about poverty and the United States and the rest of the world. 21% of American children live in poverty. 46% of black kids live in poverty. E0% of black kids are born to single parent homes.

That's not the government's fault. Europe doesn't have ghetto dysfunction problems. Its easier to work with poor educated people.

 

I did acknowledge that bro. Healthcare is just one metric. I've said twice Europeans have better healthcare. That flows from middle to lower class.

Andi did address income and healthcare costs. The poor only have to pay for the adult coverage which significantly lowers cost because kids are covered

Let me address not responding to your points. Everything I've written in this post I've written at least twice
