Seems to me to be nothing more than a lot of opinion presented as
facts.
;-)

The facts that we rank no higher than 20th in infant survival (no
smart
remarks
about abortion), that our kids are only slightly better immunized
than
those in
Botswana, and that life expectancy for both men and women is lower
here
than in
most industrialized nations aren't "opinions." but rather statistics.

We do have the finest health care money can buy, if you are in the
decreasing
percentage of the population with money enough to buy it. But why
not?
Why
shouldn't the average cough-and-sniffles pediatrician haul in
$250,000
salary a
year
and actual "miracle workers" (oncologists, brain surgeons, etc) over
7-figures?
Our system is becoming one of the super-elite catering to the
super-elite.
It's
the middle class that gets screwed the worst- the dirt poor will be
taken
care
of by the state, the very rich get decent health care as a company
perk,
and
the middle class guy earning $1250 a week is hammered for 20% of his
pre-tax
income to pay for a family's health insurance.

Blame the legal system for allowing multi million dollar settlements,
causing insurance rates for doctors and for families to skyrocket.

Fix that problem first.



You WON'T fix that problem anytime soon. Meanwhile, the real reason you
object to universal health care is that it fits your 6th grade
understanding
of socialism.



Dennis never completed the 6th grade...

There's no evidence from your postings here that you ever completed the
sixth grade. You don't write well, you don't read well, and you seem to
have lots of problems with abstract thinking. Plus, you are suffering
from early onset Alzheimer's.

Quite frankly I could care less what you think of me. *I* know I am more
successful, more intelligent and live a very happy life...one I do not have
to fabricate to try to seem important in an obscure boating NG.

So how is that custom made 36 foot lobster boat and your doctor doctor wife?
LOL!

You certainly have earned your ignorance, Mr. LOL Alzheimer's.
What was your wife's name? Do you remember?
