Politico ^ | 3/31/11 | Sarah Kliff

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius says patient outcomes in the United States are like those in “a developing country” – and that they’ll stay that way if the health care reform law is repealed. “The delivery system changes are what will affect underlying costs, and that impacts everybody,” Sebelius said Thursday. “We pay 2 1/2 times what anybody else pays in the world, and our care outcomes look like we're in a developing country.” The United States actually ranks well above developing countries on multiple health indicators, coming in right above the European Union on infant

Two things, Kathy.

#1: If the political elite would stop letting illegals in by the millions, that wouldn't be the case in the places where healthcare is bad.

#2: Have you ever been to hospital in a developing country, Kathy? Obviously not or you wouldn't say idiotic things like this.

“...patient outcomes in the United States are like those in “a developing country.”

Of course. That’s why people from around the world go to places like Rwanda for advanced medical treatment. What a maroon!

Nope, just the leaders. Strange to have a major baby killer as head of HHS.

“Kathleen Sebelius: Health care in U.S. like ‘a developing country’”

She is correct, you know.

Our witch doctor-in-chief has appointed a coven of witches to run health care, department of state and homeland security.

All the MSM cares about is their fetishes.

“We pay 2 1/2 times what anybody else pays in the world, and our care outcomes look like we're in a developing country.”

"Care outcomes". Good Gawd. Another one of those Democommie phrases. Like, "faith tradition."

Let me tell you something, Ms. Sebelius. I have young children, and from speaking with friends in Canada (you know, that national healthcare utopia to the north), they are always amazed at how quickly I'm able to have my kids seen by a doctor, have xrays, tests run, you name it. One Canadian friend lamented that her sister, suspected of having breast cancer, had to wait nearly 5 months for a tissue biopsy.

Tell me where, anywhere in this country, that would happen. You stupid koolaid drinking commie.

Somehow I just don’t trust this Sibelius person when she expresses concern over the wellbeing of babies.

Maybe Kathy needs to get treatment at a “developing country” before she opens up her stupid trap. Wow you really can’t fix this kind of stupid

U.S. healthcare like a developing country.

Hillary said that Republicans ran the House of Representatives like a plantation.

Obama wants to stop the rise of the oceans, and allow the planet to heal.

Some people in leadership positions say some absolutely idiotic things.

Maybe the only US “healthcare” that this woman is familiar with is the abortion industry. Some of those clinics are barely a step up from third world conditions.
