Good point. Expanding on that, what they want is "single payer" or

never works, and is anti-American to the extreme.

Universal health care can be implemented in several ways, single payer
is not the only way. Perhaps you could say "this never works" to all
of the countries that have UHC? They'd laugh and declare you nuts.
But I guess everyone's out of step but you.


Yep, it's working great in Great Britain, isn't it? Canada is headed
the same direction. Right now it's wait times, rationing will come
next . Problem with socialism it that you eventually run out of other
peoples' money.

Isn't it amazing that the only examples opponents come up with are
England and Canada? Yes, England's plan is screwed up. But I've spent a
lot of time talking to Canadians about their plan and all of them, while
admitting it could stand improvement, are on the whole quite pleased with
it.

I'll see your Canada and raise you Japan:
