I'm not interested in these countries. When have I said I was?

My experience with Medicare is very good. It should be improved on and offered to everyone.

?? There you go again. I said "the bankruptcies of tens of thousands of people due to a medical emergency."

What socialist countries are you talking about? I thought wed were finished with that dead-end discussion but go ahead.

You really don't know what you're talking about. Did you know anyone with a pre-existing condition back then?They went into a state high risk pool which was extremely expensive (if they could get insurance at all. My brother was in that situation.

It justifies going to a much better system.

The U.S. system is going broke. Not just the costs to the government but the bankruptcies of tens of thousands of people due to a medical emergency.

I've talked to people from Canada, Denmark, the UK personally and they say their system is far superior to ours, especially those who have lived both here and abroad.

How does the quality of the U.S. healthcare system compare to other countries? - Peterson-Kaiser Health System Tracker Bench-marking U.S. quality measures against those of similarly large and wealthy countries is one way to assess how successful the U.S. has been at improving care for its...

If Obamacare had been done in a bipartisan way it would have saved money. Things like allowing Insurance companies to sell across state lines and tort reform, which Republicans wanted, could easily have been included. BTW, the Heritage Society originally suggested something very much like...

But we are talking about Medicare. right? Obamacare was undermined by Republican state legislatures and governors who did everything they could to destroy it. You can see that by comparing the costs and deductibles for red states versus blue states. Insurance in New York is cheaper than it is in...

Companies don't want to spend money for a clean environment. A look at what's happened for the last 50 years clearly demonstrates that. They will do the least under the law. If there aren't any government regulations, they will do nothing. Name one company which out of the goodness of their...
