Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), the Deputy Chair of the Democratic National Committee, praised the health care systems of Cuba and Russia in comparison to the United States at a rally on Monday.
Why is it that countries like Cuba or Canada or Russia or a lot of places in this world spend half of what we spend per-capita and they got better health outcomes than we do? Ellison asked.
The deputy DNC chair said that the American health care system is designed to help corporations profits instead of improve Americans health.
According to the CIA Factbook, the United States (42nd) ranks in front of both Cuba (55th) and Russia (153rd) in terms of life expectancy. Americans can expect to live nine more years on average than Russians and over one more year than Cubans.

“So is that what the hold up is with john mclame? Waiting for cuban and russian input before treatment? Havana aint that far so maybe he could go there for treatment.”
I’m sure that we could start a fund raiser here on Free Republic to buy McAinal and his trophy wife a free one way/first class ticket to Cuba before the day is over.
Ellison is a perfect example of today’s left wing and pro Jihadist congressits!
Its amazing how much democrats are embracing Islamic ideals and Islamic leaders these days. Democrat are pro-Islam, Pro-Koran and Anti-womens rights now. Amazing
Ask Charlie Gard about National Health Services....oh wait!
“Take up a collection for a one way ticket...”
Excellent. Bar him from any treatment by a capitol MD or at Walter Reed, Andrews or Bethesda.
If he or his co Jihadists need treatment, send them to Cuba or Russia on one way tickets. We can fund those tickets via Free Republic.
Ask Charlie Gard’s parents how they feel about the great UK health plan?

Charlie Gard will be allowed to die after his parents today made the heartbreaking decision to let him ‘slip away’.
Chris Gard and Connie Yates arrived at the High Court in tears as they ended a campaign to save his life that has touched millions around the world.
They have battled for six months for their beloved 11-month-old son to be flown to the US for pioneering drugs to treat his rare strain of mitochondrial disease.
But they have now decided to let him die clearly believing that Great Ormond Street’s refusal to let him travel to a New York hospital had cost him his chance.

Not sure of the American health system but in Canada, it is governed by the ‘Canada Health Act’. It species what conditions and criteria the Provincial health insurance programs must meet to receive Federal funding. That said, ‘health care is a Provincial responsibility so coverage is a patchwork across the Provinces, with each Province funding differing things. It is so non standard, that Albertans who do not have private coverage through work, are advised to buy Blue Cross, not just when they leave the country, but when they leave the PROVINCE to visit other parts of Canada.
PS: Under our ‘glorious universal health care system’, why is it that so many wealthy Canadians still go to the States for treatment of their ailments?
SPEED OF DELIVERY, NO WAITING IN QUEUES with the ‘riff raff’, the ‘unwashed masses’, like me.
Mr. Ellison (may peas be upon him) is a card carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America, so, to salute another communist country should be expected as the regimen of such a traitor.
First: destroy the Democrat Party.
Second:
Push the GOPE into becoming the 'second party'. America's a two party+ democracy... The two parties can be the GOPE and the GOP...
Did you share the floor with several dozen other patients getting to relax on a genuine Cuban palm frond mat?
“Why is it that the supporters of Socialized Medicine dont realize that they are not going to get all the care they need, when the Government dispenses the care?”
Because the supporters of government care usually exempt themselves. Want to get rid of Obamacare? Make every federal employee sign up for it, but first give everyone a 5% increase in salary so they can pay for it on their own.
When the employees and unions complain about it, there will be no way for the media to hide it.

Moreover, Ellison also needs to be reminded that US technology will eventually produce a "Tricorder" very soon.
