Right because our demographics and population fit that of Scandavian countries. I love how liberals never address the obvious
In all of these examples, I've have yet to witness a UHC country with 300 million + in population that borders a country in which millions of illegals enter their country illegally each year.
Azriver, Americans want health care reform. Why don't Republicans ever address the obvious?

I think they do address the obvious in the field of health care reform. It seems to me that progs are more in favor of public option and care little about reform. Why not just reform those things that will help and forget about public option? Surely those stupid Republicans can see that we can never have government run health care until we arrive at single payer health care. Maybe they do recognize that part and are fighting it. That is certainly the part of the whole thing that I don't like.
Sounds like a employee problem in the OP's situation. Those folks would be local right? People who live in the clinic area? Maybe people who live there just aren't that bright.

I agree. Why can't we attack the waste and fraud and offer only a catastrophic plan for people? Why do we need to give billions for Sex Ed? Why do we need to include acne medicine? There is too much waste in this current bill that says it addresses waste. I think we could fund St. Judes to help our terminally ill children for far less than the sex ed will cost.
Why don't conservatives ever give Scandinavian countries as their examples of government run health care? Oh wait, they are efficient and successful. It weakens their argument.
Listen.... I would take Gov't health care ALL DAY if I thought it would be efficient. IT WONT. How do I know? Name (1) efficient U.S. Gov't program.
Just 1.
Name it...... you can't, can you?
I would rather compare it to U.S. DMV service*
(*NJ DMV was outsourced to private firms and is now efficient. A tak that used to take hours of lines and forms now takes 10 minutes)
If your kids a little chunky private insurers wont cover them...Did you realize that? Just crazy but that appears to be what some want to be stuck with. No insurance for chunky infants...So sad it's funny.

The military can move tons of equipment in days, the post office can transport a postcard across the country in 2 days for less the 2 quarters, TSA was propped up by Bush, yes Bush and has worked effectively. We should demand that OUR government work effectively not turn to a private insurance indistry that doesn't care.
Please quantify WHY healthcare should be considered a right and not a privilege. By the very nature of an inherent right it cannot be in competition with other rights. So-called rights whose provision necessitates stealing the property of others cannot be considered rights since they cannot exist without violating private property rights.

I know it is against the narrative (Why don't Republicans ever address the obvious?) but the Republicans do have an alternative health care reform plan - The Patient Choice Act '09
And about the baby thing. They did eventually cover him. What the article fails to mention - how many insurance plans does Colorado offer and did their obese baby qualify for another plan with maybe a higher premium?
