Quarantine has been used throughout history and Cuba now quarantines HIV infected citizens. You're knowledge of Stalin must be pretty biased.

Interesting how you completely forgot about HIV and Hepatitis now and you want to talk about Malaria to say disease can't be eliminated. Hmmm, wonder why we don't have malaria in the US now? Could it have been eliminated? You can't even cherry pick a disease to support your position.

I don't know about Holland but you see some crappy little restaurants in the US. Burger King and McDonalds are reputable so I don't know what your problem is.

It's not 100% effective but it does provide protection.

Muzzarelli added that a healthy lifestyles -- plenty of sleep, physical fitness and a good diet -- may be the best defense against illnesses like SARS.
Probably the advice that motivates your opposition to preventing disease. You want to be free to smoke, drink and sleep with whores then get free medical care.

Since I take preventative measures obviously the ones I do get are beyond my control. Smoking and obesity are now leading causes of serious diseases in the US. Add on drinking and drug abuse and you've probably accounted for over 50% of medical costs. Easily preventable by personal behaviour.
