how about taking a few pages and detailing the differences you see....
The point is not that there are a few, or even many, simply identifiable differences. There are countless numbers of differences, some of which we can't even reasonably think of.
If the design of the health care insurance system is to be considered the overwhelmingly important difference then we could look for a few major ones and try to compensate for them. But it isn't the overwhelming factor, or probably even a particularly important one, in many of the common measurements that are used to praise or condemn health care insurance systems, like life expectancy.
If you have a particular measure that you really like, that the US does poorly in, I could reply with some relevant differnces, but for everyone I could think of, or even every person on this thread could think of, there would be many more that would go unrecognized.
With very large sample sizes you can hope to overcome such problems with random double-blind assignment, but here we have a small sample size, and no blind (in fact with the criteria typically being selected because of the results they give, if one doesn't support the argument the person wants to make, they just shift to another, and never even mention the 1st.)
Glen Beck tell you that.
I would not be surprised if he believes that, but I had not heard it from him. I don't watch his show.
Its not a matter of passing along someone else's opinion (although I've read those as well) but of just looking at the constitution. Nowhere in the constitution is the federal government granted this power. |
