You're as bad as he is - worse, even - only in reverse.
Have you ever lived there? Ever even visited?
"I have heard"... says it all, right there. At least he's actually reacting to things that he sees, instead of internet rumors.

Englishmen can choose to pay out-of-pocket, or use private insurance, to supplement their NHS coverage. A 3-second google would have told you that:

They can even get treated at an NHS hospital, with their private insurance covering it:

a gov. run health care system doesn't work because the government is not in health care buisness... and I don't want graft and corruption to run it which is what will happen

Raise 'em and have a paid professional pull you and your loved ones from the burning embers.
We need the feds involved and quick. I didn't realise some poor Floridians and Californians can't afford a force. Where's my checkbook and who's got the address for the IRS?
thats not how it was when it started...it took years to change it to what you found and that is my point...
Frenchie, be careful of those figures, as they come from the Democrats without explanation.
What I mean is, infant mortality for the VAST majority of the population is much better than indicated. There is a small minority population of people, imigrants, drug addicts, etc. who skew the statistics.
Not that we should not do something to help THOSE people. But the proposed healthcare reform will foist a system NOT NEEDED, at great social cost, on the entire population.
As for the cost of healthcare, that is also skewed. Our health care cost more BECAUSE WE HAVE MORE MONEY.
Drug companies spend BILLIONS developing new drugs, and in this country, we pay through the nose for them, BECAUSE WE HAVE THE MONEY....and they are then able to market those drugs throughout the world at much lower costs.
Trust me on this one.....if you take the PROFIT out of drug research, there will be no drug research.
Adding to the costs.....the lawyers. Doctors here must practice defensive medicine....ordering all kinds of expensive and in many cases un-needed tests, because if they don't they will be sued. I have not seen anything in the legislation which addresses tort reform and combatting medicare fraud. Just those two items could save us enough money to provide needed healthcare to all who otherwise don't have it.\
This is awkward, but...
