It's not mine and you assume you know where my sympathies lie.
(according to you)
Visit big city hospital rooms in poor areas instead of making snide remarks.
would not the system that serves the "non-poor" better be the preferred method?
That depends on the details of each system. In Canada one poster claims that health care is not mediocre but terrible. My German and French friends tell me that the poor receive much better health care there than they do in our country.
Feeling a little out of sorts since November 2? There's help available (though I don't know if the government will pay for it). BTW, my wife worked for several years at Cook County Hospital in Chicago. Perhaps conservatives are not quite as ignorant as you seem to imagine.
"My German and French friends tell me that the poor receive much better health care there than they do in our country."
Ahh, now you finally got down to the crux of it.
The poor may fare better in Germany or France (I'm not sure this is is accurate) but you forget to count the cost of this as well.
The poor fare better but it is at the expense of everyone else who can afford better care. There are trade-offs here and you are ignoring those.
Is it right for one person to another person's money and give it to someone else? Is it right for gov't to take one person's money and give it to someone else? This is the essence of socialism and is exactly what happens in healthcare, welfare, etc. That you see this as a morally right thing to do when done by gov't means you have a blind side when it comes to knowing right from wrong.
