Somebody explain to this dolt that comparing both private/government health expenditures to GDP does not mean that they are excluding private costs.....I'm done wasting my time.
You don't even understand your own graph!!!
BTW.....I posted the links to prove what I said was true. I expect an apology for calling me a liar.
Not taking sides but I believe that at the very top the U.S. absolutely has the best care if you have access to it.
But every single Canadian or European I have ever spoken to about this has basically replied along the lines of "Oh, Thank God! we don't have your system. That is seriously messed up!"

Oh yea that's another big argument on the right....They brag about Shieks and Third World dictators coming here for medical services.
As if all Americans get that same service.
Meanwhile..........
In 2006, about 150,000 American citizens traveled to Latin America and Asia for medical treatment.
In 2007, the figure increased to approximately 300,000.
By 2010, experts say that the number could increase to well over 1 million.
If we had a system like Europe, everybody would have it, you wouldn't have to worry about ever losing it, and it would cost 50% of what we pay on average now.
"Socialist" is a slur they use to keep gullible Americans thinking universal health care is a bad thing.
If we had Europe's system (which is bankrupting them" that 18 year old would have died before getting any care or 40% of his brain removed. Get real!
You are also welcome to open your VAST wallet and donate money to many of our charities which take care of people who have little or nothing to pay.
Socialists have big mouths and ideas ALL with other people's money.

Yeah, right. And if you put your tooth under your pillow you will get money from Obama in the morning.

Um, yeah, they go there mostly for things like face lifts and other cosmetic surgeries.
The devil is in the details.
