European Hospital - Note lack of curtains, been there done that ...Ask little Charlie Gard and his parents about that.....
Best at turning away patients needing treatment? Best at leaving patients unattended on gurneys in the hall ways because of lack of bed space? Best at not treating elderly patients?
Best for whom?
Best for the administrators and bureaucrats?
Yeah, I want to go to the DMV and get my healthcare from their drones. [eyeroll]
We don’t have a healthcare “system”, and things are just fine that way. Hidden beneath the headline is that fact that the top system, the NHS, came in tenth for patient outcomes. I’ll take the better quality of care over providing shoddy care equally to everyone.
“The ACA has helped make major strides in coverage and access to care in the US, particularly for lower-income Americans...”
Because Medicaid is such a wonderful health insurance program which guarantees full access, the best doctors, and the most advanced therapies. /src
So our poor health care is why the rich elites in the UK/Canada/EuroTrash Countries/South America/??, fly to the USA for some really poor health care and are willing to pay whatever for their poor treatment.
Remember folks, we’re now living under obamacare.
‘Scandal of dirty hospitals: 43,000 patients struck down by deadly superbugs on NHS wards last year
In the past three years the NHS has been forced to pay out an astonishing £20million to people who contracted the infections while on a ward’
[This is the tip of the iceberg. As many patients in the NHS—42,000—die annually of thirst. I.e.: water is withheld until their kidneys fail. Then there are those who actually die of bedsores. It goes on and on.]

Sadly, I agree.
We’re great at technology and creating drugs to treat symptoms - instead of promoting health
Our current crony-capitalism-FDA-revolving-door-AMA system renders everything overly expensive and prevents competition.
Doesn’t mean the others are perfect...
Obamacare is an utter disaster. Worst healthcare system in the world.
Satan the deceiver.
European Hospital - Note lack of curtains, been there done that ...Hey US, where are your “waiting to die” lists?
Get with the govt paid healthcare(?) program.
"US ranked worst healthcare system, while the NHS is the best(Hurl Alert)"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Patriots are reminded that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate healthcare purposes.
More specifically, as evidenced by the 10th Amendment, the Constitution’s silence about healthcare means that the Founding States had reserved “government” power to regulate, tax and spend for healthcare uniquely to the individual states, not the federal government, each state free to explore its own solutions for healthcare.
This is evidenced by the following excerpts, most of them clarifications of the fed’s constitutionally limited powers by previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court justices.
"Our citizens have wisely formed themselves into one nation as to others and several States as among themselves. To the united nation belong our external and mutual relations; to each State, severally, the care of our persons [emphasis added], our property, our reputation and religious freedom.” —Thomas Jefferson: To Rhode Island Assembly, 1801.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
So unconstitutional (imo) Obamacare is based on state powers and uniquely associated state revenues that the feds have stolen from the states, state revenues stolen by means of unconstitutional taxes according to the Gibbons excerpt above.
Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!
Remember in November ’18 !
Since Pres. Trump entered the ’16 presidential race too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.
Such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring, activist Supreme Court justices off of the bench.
In fact, if Justice Gorsuch turns out to be a liberal Trojan Horse then we will need 67 patriot senators to remove a House-impeached Gorsuch from office.
Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.
While I Googled the primary information above concerning Iowa and New Hampshire, FReeper iowamark brought to my attention that the February primaries for these states apply only to presidential election years. And after doing some more scratching, since primary dates for most states for 2018 elections probably haven’t been uploaded at this time (March 14, 2017), FReepers will need to find out primary dates from sources and / or websites in their own states.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed above.
Socialists lie.
Yeah, millions of people flee from the USA to England for healthcare.
Excerpts from article.
A new report from LIBERAL think tank the Commonwealth Fun
The first giveaway that something is amiss should be the fact that the United Kingdom ranks as the top health care system of those studied. As I reported in a feature last fall, the U.K.'s National Health Service is facing severe problems and has been plagued in recent years by cascading scandals involving horrific neglect of patients.
The problem with the Commonwealth Fund study is that it’s rigged to produce a result that favors socialized health care systems. The study determines that the U.S. system is worse because it lacks universal health insurance coverage and the report emphasizes “equity” as one of the key factors in evaluating a health care system.
The study also doesn't mention cancer outcomes. As it turns out, the U.S. ranks well ahead of the U.K. in five-year survival rates for 22 out of 23 types of cancers, according to data from the American Cancer Society.
The study also relies on surveys of patient satisfaction, which are subjective, because they vary based on people's expectations. If people have low expectations, then a system with objectively bad health outcomes could still be viewed as satisfactory.
