Justin Bieber may have stepped on a political land mine in his latest interview, saying that the American health care system is 'Evil'.
The teen star told Rolling Stone that he did not agree with the US system in which patients must pay for any treatment they require, much preferring his native Canada's national health care system.
Speaking to the magazine he said: "You guys are evil. Canada's the best country in the world. We go to the doctor and we don't need to worry about paying him, but here, your whole life, you're broke because of medical bills."
Bieber continued his point with a personal anecdote about somebody he works with and the trouble he suffered, "My bodyguard's baby was premature, and now he has to pay for it. In Canada, if your baby's premature, he stays in the hospital as long as he needs to, and then you go home."
Some sections of American citizens are very defensive of the current system and look poorly on anybody trying to change things, like President Obama did with his failed attempt at health care reform in 2009.Source: PopDash
We are endlessly proud to be Americans, concerning the health care issue - the Biebs has a point. Perhaps if everyone took a more simplistic look at the subject rather than clogging it with mass bureaucracy, we'd find our health care to be a lot less "evil".
