The best argument against socialized medicine

Look at the pathetic healthcare we provide to our veterans; if the government does such a rotten job for them, why would anyone think they would do better for you and me?

First you have to get the facts right!

New numbers July 2009--- 52.8 million people without health care.

Health care premiums up 71% in the last 7 years.

9.1% of health care spending is on obesity.

2007-----premiums up 6% inflation up 3%  earnings up 3.7%

And YES I did get turned down.

Abscessed tooth--Nope,Not a life or death situation. Double hernia--Nope, not life or death.

How about chemo, glasses, knee replacement, hip replacement, liver transplant?

"Love to live here"?

How many countries have you visited and talked to them about this?

I have only been to Honduras, Cuba (7 times), Spain, France, Portugal, Morocco, Italy, Sicily, England, Germany, Norway, Canada, Jamaica, The Bahamas, The U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Haiti and Israel........

Italians live longer, have lower HDL levels, better hearts , lower blood pressure, some of the best art ,not to mention some fantastic food and I would rather live there!

We need a strong single payer health care OPTION and a creation of a prescription drug benefit in Medicare Part B.

Search the net for the phrase "help me change America" in quotes and go to the first link and send emails to some of the companies that fund conservatives in both parties and demand the legislation from their CEOs and boycott their products until such legislation passes congress and gets signed into law.

Mr. Youbrian, If you would rather live in Italy, then what causes you to stay in this forbidden country? Don't live a life of regrets. If all of those who believe like you would please just go ahead and make true on your wishes to live somewhere else would just go ahead and do it already, then the rest of us here in the U.S. could enjoy living here even more than we even do, because then we wouldn't have to listen to you yap about how the grass is greener ...

the premiums for COBRA are crazy high, if one does not have a job, one will not have enough to afford COBRA

[flazney1]

Well, if you spent that much time in the military, then you should certainly qualify for VA benefits. I'm sorry that they let you down, but that is what happens when you depend on the governemnt. And if the government does a poor job of taking care of the vets, you know how worthless they would be for everybody else.

[MrYoubrian]

Your are proving yourself to be an idiot with all of your unfounded, inaccurate, uninformed and uneducated ASSUMPTIONS.

My "expensive foreign travel" was .................. In the military-----moron.

[flazney1]

So you have enough money for expensive foreign travel but not enough to buy health insurance? And you expect taxpayers to give it to you? Too funny.

[MrYoubrian]

People wanting accurate info should go to :

The Gallup website

and The Wikipedia website under "countries that have universal health care articles"

And READ, READ, READ..........

[MrYoubrian]

And you can support this theory with documentation from....?

Try Gallup polls who takes all this into consideration when they take the poll, such as race, religion, employment history, immigration status,income,age,etc.

They already did this and got the number of 52.8 million.

Where is YOUR proof?
