10. I was playing a video game with an Aussie friend...

Several months ago and the conversation came up about health care.

A couple of people in our group started bitching about "Obama Care".

Nick (the Aussie) chimed in and explained that they have both socialized and private health insurance in Australia.

One of the guys who was bitching says, "see, we need to have real choice..."

At what point Nick said, not really knowing the debate that was going on or what , "No one in their right mind chooses the private system.. you go to the government run clinics because those are the people who REALLY CARE ABOUT MAKING YOU BETTER, instead of just stealing your money"

That shut the "Obama care" people up REAL QUICK!
