Meet James Lowe: John Edwards' Example of U.S. Health Care

I lived in Italy for 8 years. Trust me you DO NOT want Universal coverage. Is there improvements that we can make here? Sure. But don't believe the hype that all is good in Europe and Canada. The waiting times for surgeries are horrendous, high taxes have stiffled economic growth, and the level of care (from what I saw) is not at the level we have here.

Excuse me? UK tax rates are insane. Income tax is 40% if you make over 34,600 pounds! Your gas taxes are even more drastic, $4.84 a gallon just in tax! In the UK, Value Added Tax (VAT), currently at 17.5%, is charged on the price of the fuel and on the duty. At a pump price of 100p/litre (this would put the combined tax at 65.24p/litre. (Thus without tax, the retail price would be 34.76p per litre, making a combined tax rate of 188%. Oh, and f*&^ off!
