Yet another study shows how deplorable our health care system is. Amongst 19 industrialized nations, the U.S. ranks last in providing timely and effective health care to it's citizens. This should shut up the supporters of those political candidates who were proclaiming in last weekend's debate that while we spend more than other nations, we have the best health care system in the world.
Hockey buzzer going off loudly on that statement.
Who ranks first? France. And our neighbors up north rank 4th. That should also shut up those folks who proclaim: "We don't want a health care system like Canada!" Sure. Let's just keep the good 'ole american LAST PLACE system in place, shall we? Let's just keep our heads in the sand and pretend and pretend some more.
And while we're at it, let's pretend the economy is strong, jobs are abundant, the dollar is really quite fine, poverty is really a non-issue and is really just due to laziness, UFO's don't exist, it's perfectly ok to pay $200,000 for four walls and a roof, the voting process is clean and clear, freedom still reigns, there's plenty of food and water for everyone, clean coal and nuclear power are the way to go, corporate welfare is a GOOD thing, aaaauuuuuuuuggggggghhhhh
blah blah blah etc. etc. etc...
