God help us!
did you expect anything different from Mr RomneyCare?
Ungar cuts to the bone again dang!
I bet many Freepers will like his comments, though. After all, it is the Israeli healthcare system.
This is why I am doing a write in and refuse to donate money to the RNC. Let’s see his friends clean this mess up for him. Get a new candidate would be the answer.
Didn’t he say he would get rid of the Obamacare.
What they do with health care in a generally homogeneous society is significantly different and not replicable in a continental country of some 310 millions composed of every imaginable racial, ethnic and social background. That is why the drive for more centralization in health care in the U.S. is the exact wrong thing to do.
It should be a Sates issue, IN ALL RESPECTS. If Massachusetts wants some form of universal health care run by government fiat, great. If New Hampshire wants NO role for the government in the providing of insurance or health services, that should be the prerogative of the state and it's citizens through its’ elected officials.
People would vote with their feet and reside where they feal they have the best over all quality of life.
I wonder how Israel’s system would hold up if they suddenly had to provide free medical to ten million illegal immigrants from Palestine.
Many items are true such as the total spent on healthcare in Israel as a percentage of GDP is about 1/2 of what it is in the US. Procedures are cheaper there and quality is high.
Romney's comment was about the SPENDING in Israel on healthcare. It's significantly lower than ours.
Yes, yes, but did he get the name of their capital correct?
In 2009, I was in a Tel Aviv hospital and it was not all it’s cracked up to be. Particularly, the totally indifferent staff. A nurse accidentally missed my vein for the saline solution and my arm blew up like Popeye’s. It took about 8 hours for someone to recognized their was a problem (after I kept telling people there was). I got more attention from the hospital liason to the insurance company (she wanted to make sure I could pay).
>> With a life-expectancy rate that is the 4th best in the world
Irrelevant. Conveniently omitted is the fact that the collective genetic makeup of the US population is far different from that of Israel, not to mention the deviation in environment, workforce, food, etc.
Regarding HMO choices, how many options exist for the citizens of a given state? 2, 3, 5?
We’re flattered by the Israeli chicks that reveal their obligatory military service bikini clad, but are aghast at the thought of similar obligations concerning health care...
Let’s cut the crap. Israel is not the U.S. Comparative judgement is asinine.
This guy is amazing. The way he double talks never ends. If he keeps this up, we will be stuck with the Marxist Muslim for the next four years.
There must be a powerful cadre of leftists who helped kill the conservative contenders and put this guy in the running to assure their agenda is promulgated regardless of who wins.
It’s amazing to watch the new generation fret over the staggering cost of health care.
If they could only go back in time with us older people who remember when health care WAS AFFORDABLE before the days of the “deep pocket” health insurance companies.
Gee! I can’t imagine how it was affordable BEFORE health insurance but out of control AFTER the health insurance companies (with their deep pockets thanks to you and I) created a cornucopia of endless medical charges for the medical industry to feast upon.
The two laws of business were thrown out of whack by the insurance industry: “The laws of supply and demand” and “whatever the market will bear.” With insurance, there is no longer any market forces in place.
Nothing better than a white obama!!!
Romney is a lying socialist to the core!!!
