U.S. worst in health care (Yahoo headline - No bias here!) LoL
ABC/Yahoo ^

Posted on 01/09/2008 7:22:53 AM PST by nuconvert

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.

See video report at source link

There are a couple of good videos at this link.
The vids Two Women and Brain Surgery describe the "medical" priorities in Canada.

It's really a crime that democrats want foist this system on Americans.

“Canada must then be even worse off.”

According to the report, Austria, Australia and Canada are on top!
However, you have to listen carefully. They have improved in the area of “preventable deaths” more than the U.S.
hmmm.......wonder what factors they’re leaving out here.....

This study was done by the Commonwealth Fund, and organization run by a former JIMMY CARTER OFFICIAL. Its so biased and full of lies that it makes me want to scream.

Yeah, free sex changes will be a priority. Emergency open heart surgery on a white man will not.

Check this out, it’s an Australian press release touting how their wait times have fallen - the number of people waiting more than 365 days for surgery has fallen! What an improvement!

And I assume the next story will be let the communist party run healthcare and it will improve.
::::::
Same thing as saying “let the DemoRats run it”....run it right into the ground like all other attempts at SOCIALIZED medicine. God save us from these power-mad socialists.

From your link: "...the United States dead last, in providing timely and effective healthcare to its citizens,..."

You are right, the study is total 100% BS.

We are going to break the current system. Then we will be able to step in with a universal model solution.

This is EXACTLY how leftists think. Their system cannot compete with the present system, so they have to break it first.

Same with traditional values vs secular socialism. They have to destroy our culture in order to implement their vision, because theirs cannot compete in the same arena, successfully, with traditional values.

“Now, lets discuss the evil Bush and why socialized medicine is so wonderful!”

Bush doesn’t mind socialized medicine.

He signed the prescription drug bill and campaigned on it!

Why do I get the idea that the way they’re reducing their numbers of long term waiting by people either giving up or dying?

The specific purpose of this report is an attempt to prepare people for socialized medicine. It's subjective in the extreme and an example of comparing apples to hand grenades.

In other words, it's horse-hockey.

This is the media trying to manipulate our dumbed down population. Tell a lie often enough, and the masses will believe it.

Remember "Worst Economy in 50 Years" and "The Candidate's Character Doesn't Matter"?

It won't be long before they are all voting for socialized medicine--and the candidate who promises them the most of it!

He who robs Peter to pay Paul can count on the undying support of Paul.
