>> >Most Americans have health care. Any American who wanted it had "health care" before Obamacare, via thousands of community facilities, free clinics, and yes, emergency departments of hospitals. For example, in Dallas County, Texas -- maybe the 5th largest metro area in the country, Parkland Hospital turns NO ONE away. Yet the French system is able to treat the disease far more effectively than happens in the United States, with levels of severity and fatality three times lower than those in this country. And yet France spends eight times less on treatments per person than the U.S. system. Or consider Britain, which handles diabetes far more effectively than the United States, while spending less than half of what we spend per person. The study concludes that the British system is five times more productive in managing diabetes than is the United States. This is absolutely misleading commentary. One can certainly cherry-pick illnesses where foreign countries provide better outcomes than the U.S., and this liberal jerkoff has done precisely that. There are many diseases and causes of death that the US has better results with than either of the countries he mentioned, but he lacks the honesty to mention it.
