Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

>>>What do you want in healthcare? Govt deciding when and where you can see which doctor? Good luck.<<<

What health care plan is that? The one cooked up by the republican party for propaganda purposes I suspect. I talk to canadians and western europeans on a regular basis and I have yet to hear one of them willing to trade their health care system for ours. According to them, the US republican party complains more about their system than they do. They tell me they have plenty of choices of doctors they can see, the endless delays for surgeries we are told about here are nothing but myths and the quality of care is excellent. And.........it's available to ALL their citizens regardless of employment status or financial status. Maybe that's why we don't even make the top 20 in world life expectancy and rank an embarrassing 35th. in infant mortality. So much for the best health care in the world.
