Twenty-four years after communism went underground in 1989 (and is resurfacing with a vengeance today), medical care has not improved by leaps and bounds.

Socialized Medicine should be labeled as poison.

It is that’s why people call it Obamacare.

In the UK with its socialized medicine system, five-year survival rates for all forms of breast cancer is just under 74% compared to 85% in the US. In early stage breast cancer an American woman has a 97% chance of being alive five years after diagnosis compared to only 78% in the UK.
