"If the health care system is breaking down."

If the health care system is breaking down, then why is the average life span in this country increasing? I'll tell you why. Better food production and major advances in medical science. Not the results you would get in socialist and third world countrys.

If you're satisfied with your own answers why bother posting? Are you really such a know-it-all? Surprise me. Say something other than "Liberals know nothing. I don't have to listen to you to know you have nothing to say."

Besides - as I said in the previous post to you - this question has already been asked and answered.

Ever hear of depressions? Business cycles? Wars? Long-term trends are one-thing. Real life for real people living today is another.

Are you one of those who think that our civilization is going under because of increasing communist influence? If so, why is it so hard to believe that our health-system might not be suffering the same fate? In fact if the argument were put that way I'll bet you'd be the first to agree. Come on. Have courage. Be honest and admit it.

If not. Then look at it this way. The health care system is undergoing radical change. Emergency rooms are closing. Hospitals are closing. Lots of ordinary people can no longer afford the medical care that they could in the '60s and '70s. It takes awhile for stuff like that to show up in the statistics. Maybe we'll have figured out how to deal with it before it does.

It's simple. If you stopped trying to prove that all Liberals are idiots and actually listened to the arguments you might learn something.
