>> 'The best health care system in the world' which only the privileged few could afford. Except that isn't true. ~86% of people had insurance or taxpayer funded health care before. Now, ~87% do, although it is temporary. For that 1% "improvement" we are spending an insane amount of money. Just the subsidies along are running more than 50B. Add to that all the additional taxes, and we could have simply purchased insurance polices for that 14% and been well ahead of where we are now (not that I would have supported that, either). You're supporting obviously terrible legislation because it is the Democrats did it. >> And btw, the Germans and Scandinavians would argue with you as to who has the best health system in the world. They can argue all they want; but the facts support my claim and not yours. Over half of all medical innovation over the last 50 years has either been done in the United States or funded by it. Our treatments of the most difficult diseases have better outcomes than any other nation's. Ours is more costly but it is better. Which seems reasonable to me.
