This is the headline Yahoo is running on it's "In the News".
ABC's headline for the video is "U.S. health care on the Decline"
The ABC report is biased enough without Yahoo's added editorial.

“US Worst in Healthcare: Except for all the others”
Recently, a Canadian woman came to the US to have her quadruplets. Why? There are NO Canadian hospitals that can handle multiple births over two or three. Also, you have the same chance of surviving cancer in England as you would in a third world country. What do these countries have in common? Anyone want to venture a guess?
Someone better tell the Canucks.
Canada must then be even worse off.
Really, I think anyone who openly criticizes our system in light of another country should be denied medical help here and be forced to go outside the country. They will sing a different tune then.
S-O-C-I-A-L-I-S-T M-E-D-I-C-I-N-E .
“worst” only because the AP writer decided that any plan that did not depend on taxes and government intrusion gets an automatic F, despite the fact the world flees to America for health care they cannot get in their own countries.
It won't be long before they are all voting for socialized medicine--and the candidate who promises them the most of it!
Our system is in decline, only because it’s been incrementally socialized for decades.
But the Yahoo! headline is so ridiculously over-the-top, I suspect even the political novices will get a sense that they’re being propagandized here. I hope, anyway.
Guess who's best?
...And there are some presidential canidates that want to do the same thing in the USA.
OK. Any country’s citizens whose health care is rated above the United States should be turned back at the border when they come here for their health care rather than stand in line in their own countries for questionable but “free” care.
Thank you
I wonder why so many people come to the US for health care?
Average waiting times for elective surgery:
Hip replacement - US 1 week; Canada 11 months; UK 2 years.
Gall bladder removal - US 1 week; Canada 9 months; UK 1 year.
Heart Bypass - US 10 days; Canada 1 year; UK 18 months.
The other countries regulate demand by waiting times. Many patients either go elsewhere, go private pay or die waiting.
Good job! i m a publik scewl teechur, so I am required to give you a gold star, A+, and a standing ovation for a correct answer. I would also give you a pat on the back, but your parents might sue me for inappropriate touching. Now, lets discuss the evil Bush and why socialized medicine is so wonderful!
My wife was in healthcare in the USAF in the early 1990s. At a Tricare meeting in DC, Ted Kennedy spoke. Here’s the money quote in answer to the question of when we will get universal healthcare... paraphrased... We are going to break the current system. Then we will be able to step in with a universal model solution.
And I assume the next story will be let the communist party run healthcare and it will improve.
