However, what is glaring is not the difference in life expectancies and infant mortalities. It's the huge difference in COST. I thought conservatives here would be interested in that. If the US health care system cost the same as UK, we would save a staggering $1.1 Trillion per year.


I agree that cost is an issue. How do you propose we reduce it? I do not want to subject my well being the the British system. Canada is a place to study. However, they have a safety valve.

Do you not find it strange that when we did an "Affordable Health Care Bill" that TORT reform was left out? Ya don't think that was simply another Obama pay off do you? More of the "change you can believe in" stuff.

When we have an honest discussion of the issue and have the "shared sacrifice" Obama loves to talk about when it suits his purposes - we can begin to address health care reform in America.

One of the biggest challenges Obama faces in 2012 is that all of the fairy tales he told in 2008 that were so readily believed have been shown to be simply that - fairy tales.

I doubt any candidate has the stones to tell the people the truth about what needs to be done. A message of pain is not a winning message.
