CBS News has the story, U.S. health “mediocre” compared to other wealthy countries.

“The United States spends the most per capita on health care across all countries, lacks universal health coverage, and lags behind other high-income countries for life expectancy and many other health outcome measures,” wrote the authors of the new report, published June 10 in JAMA.

Don’t bother me with facts. We all know that the US has the best health care in the world. Karl Rove told me so. These people must all be using fuzzy math.

No socialized medicine could possibly beat the free market system we have. All the Republicans in Congress know that. Government simply does not work. Every time you give the Republicans a bit of power they easily demonstrate how government does not work. Even from a minority position, Republicans have a ready supply of monkey wrenches to throw into the gears of government. When will people ever learn?

Free market!!!! Free Market!!! FREE MARKET!!!
