American system is the most expensive. Certainly not the worst. I suspect the tax payers will be footing the bill for this broken leg.

Of course we will, we foot the bill when anyone in Congress breaks something.

We can only hope they have enlisted the services of a good plastic surgeon while they have him on the table.

Hilarious.

We arent explaing anything away. You simply never understood the argument you were debating in the first place.


We in the US, have the best doctors in the world for those who can afford them, we do not have the best system.

Is that so hard for you to understand ? Im not asking if you agree, im asking if you simply understand the difference between the 2 statements.

That only means the party who owned the ball and clubs would need to get new ones.

Can someone please explain this?
Who the hell ever said we don't have good health care???????

He chose to have the work done by a Doctor he knows and knows him. Fortunately for him this was possible. I wish him well.

He's the U.S. Secretary of State and very wealthy. If he wanted to, he could fly the best ortho surgeon on the planet to the middle of Siberia to get treatment. Of course he came home, but rest assured his experience with our health care system is a little different from the rest of us.

The right has no leg (pun not intended) to stand on in this argument. He receives the same health insurance that Republicans who are in Congress, government, executive cabinet etc...

You never heard Republicans complaining about how much money was spent on Dick Cheney and his heart surgeries.

And I'm sure if he had it done in another country the right would complain that he's spending money in a foreign country when he could come home for his medical care.

What would make this situation acceptable to the right? How should this be handled. Don't just give criticism offer a solution that would satisfy you.
