I forget where I heard it (Medved?) but if you take away car accidents and murder and have other countries start counting infant deaths, then we have the best mortality figures in the world.
The Socialists (aka Democrats) are determined to ruin the great medical care we have. The best way to improve it is to get the federal government less involved, not more. Government has caused disruptions in the free market, just as the government caused the mortgage melt-down.
How would you like to reach whatever age decreed by the government, (Britain age 55)and no longer be eligible for dialysis? Open heart surgery and kidney dialysis are rationed. And that is just the tip of the iceberg.
I see government health care as mandated euthanasia.
Of the alleged 46 million w/o health care how many have opted for designer shoes or the latest electronic gizmo rather than paying for health care insurance?
Our life expectancies of those w/o health problems, for each diagnosis, is much greater than Britain or Canada.
