There are lots of things in the constitution of Iraq that never

"Nearly all families - 96.4 percent - have no health insurance whatsoever and 40 percent of the population deems the quality of healthcare services in their area to be bad or very bad, according to the Iraq Knowledge Network (IKN) survey of 2011.

As a result of the poor quality of care in their country, many Iraqis now seek healthcare abroad, increasingly selling homes, cars and other possessions to afford to do so, according to Skelton, who interviewed Iraqis seeking healthcare in Lebanon. "


That it wasn't implemented has nothing to do with the *fact* that the
Republicans in our Congress voted for universal health care insurance
for Iraqis, but think it is anathema for Americans.
