To be fair to Mitt, I suspect it's the cost aspect that he was thinking about, but the fact remains he's praising a system which guarantees health care to every Israeli regardless of ability to pay.
Doctors in Israel all belong to a union. In the past when they have gone on strike the mortality rate in the country actually went DOWN!
Romney Praises Israel’s Socialized Health Care System
__________________________________________
Does it have free and $50 abortions too like RomneyCare ???
“marveled at how little Israel spends on health care relative to the United States.”
Amazing what billions in U.S foreign aid can do.
They don't have thousands of new Dreamers every-day entitled.
Tell you what, let California enact a state wide socialized system and lets see how it works.
No doubt, we will have to spend the next four years fighting Romney back to the right every step of the way. But let’s get rid of Obama first!
I like your thinking.
By the way, if Romney does a little research he may find out what he doesn’t want to know.
In our system, we pay for research of pharmaceuticals and equipment which we share with countries like Israel.
Just a guess.
In any case, watch research and development take a nosedive over the next years after this Obama scare.
He will bring Romney care to us if elected...it only makes sense...he will use the guise of ...well its state mandated...but it will still be mandated...
I am voting for Constitution Party for POTUS...GOP for US Senator here in Florida in hopes of overturning health care disaster...but I have had it with E GOP...Cheney’s remarks about Palin were typical E GOP circular firing squad instead of going after Obama

They went after her because mitt has been not nominated yet. They will live in fear of her until he is.
foreign aid is to be spent on US weapons
its a mixture of public and private.
Israel is a tiny country....alot of things would work there that would not work here!!!
Every time I begin to warm towards Mittens, the vapid dork once again demonstrates that he has the mind of a pea.
But, at least he does have a mind...unlike our Cretin-in-Chief.
The percentage of people on the dole, living on welfare in Israel is probably lower than what it is in the US, thereby making their healthcare more affordable.
How many illegals enter Israel every year who all qualify for medical care?
This is standard POTUS campaign stuff. It doesn't faze me.
Fox and Friends reported on this today and they pointed out that Romney is 30% to 40% below Obama in polling of US Jewish voters. It remains to be seen how much this helps them with him.
One of the unstated and whispered goals of invading Iraq was to help Israel (yet Bush never tried to sell that to general voters even as that war became very unpopular) and maybe it did help them, or maybe not in the long run, but Jewish voters who tend to be liberal, probably wanted Hillary more than Obama but then voted for Obama, were largely turned off by that war (Iraq) the way it turned out. Now if Nuke based WMDs were found and displayed on TV it may have played out differently. Another ironic miscalculation.
I cannot find the "right" to healthcare in the Constitution. You have the right to purchase healthcare, but you do not have the right to force me to purchase your healthcare. You also do not have the right to force doctors to provide healthcare for you. Unless you believe in slavery.
ObamaCare = RomneyCare = IsraeliCare
