Many other countries have as good or better health care, measured by countless studies Countless studies like the discredited WHO study or the bogus Commonwealth study? Your mind is closed to anything that doesn't involve single government payer or purely socialized medicine -- standards which were effectively required for high rankings in these bogus studies. So there is no point in arguing it with you. As far as rationing.... we ration health care, just on different terms. Actually, we don't. Just wait 'til this new legislation passes and you have a board, comprised of non-MDs, computing your "quality-adjusted life-years" to decide whether you deserve treatment. We'll see how you feel about it then.

Sure, if we wanted our health care quality to drop to that of other countries and wanted health care rationing the way they do. Many other countries have as good or better health care, measured by countless studies (don't ask for links they have all been posted here. I just found out that Saudi Arabia has complete health coverage for its citizens. I am amazed how many countries have national health coverage. And then there is the US of A, home of good ole boy wingers, who think univeral health coverage for its citizens is socialism and paying an amount for defense that's equal to what the rest of the world pays is the best thing in the world. You know.......we've been snookered.....badly.
