Not tainted by any facts? 1. The other countries we are talking about are democracies, so they can vote to change, and no other country tries to replicate the US healthcare system.
2. Few of us can afford our current system. Fewer still will be able to as it gets more expensive. 3. Life expectancy in the US is not faring as well as the other systems we are discussing. 4. Medical-vacations were introduced in the past few years, as people go abroad to get operations they cannot afford in the US. 5. Socialism? WTF; can't you do any better than that? Thank you, Mark Snyder -----Original Message----- The people in the rest of the world don't change their health care system because they are sheep. Ours is the best health care system in the world. Not perfect -- but we can't afford a perfect system. The U.S. does better than most other countries in most things. Many people come to the U.S. for medical treatment that they can't obtain in their own country. How many Americans leave the U.S. to find medical treatment they can't find here? Socialism is all about producing "equality" by taking things away from the fortunate -- folks who, for the most part, are fortunate because they or their parents worked hard and smart to earn. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
