Health care is one of the things that aids in how healthy a country will be. It's a neat trend you find when looking at the healthiest countries in the world. You find that all the countries in the top spots have publicly sponsored health care.

Don't confuse them with facts. It might hurt that tiny little brain stem they are working with. I am outa here. Tired of trying to discuss anything with people who have no inclination to learn anything, just spew their socialistic views they have been spoonfed.

Once again with the argumentum ad hominem.

You bear the burden of proof. If it has been reported then you shouldn't be hard pressed to provide resources.

I'd like to see where those western European systems are in 8 to 10 years when their boomers retire affecting tax revenue while increasing the number of those who are using government services.

I am one of them..If you consider a net worth of 1.7 mill rich.....I had a heart attack in April...Stent installed within two hours. This is just one of the medical problems I've had, and everything was done quickly, efficiently and with no extra cost to me other than the $54 I pay per month....You have no idea what you are talking about. Your insults are only a result of your ignorance.

You have shown no fact little one. Oh well, this is what is wrong with this country. People these days have little to no real education and have been socially graduated.

And I will say this, I do not believe you. I have friends all over the world because of my business and I know many who come here just for what I said. Your post is only one of the many that show ignorance.

Universal health care began in Canada in 1946...That kind of blows your argument out of the water.
