    Jesus Christ deathboy...I'll post the chart one more time

    The argument is nonsensical. You are so sure a free market health care system works...why? Where's the evidence?

    There's no evidence. Everything points to the fact that some kind of hybrid government/ private system can work quite well.

    Pretty much every other modernized country in the world has implemented something like that. You can read case by case here.

    Of course no system is ever going to be perfect but the fact that an approach like this has been successful in countries as different as England, Israel, Japan, and Trinidad tells you something, doesn't it? They all have lower costs and better quality of care than us.

    And yea, it turns out that if you ensure everyone, your costs go down, not up. I know it's a little more complicated of an economic argument, but do some reading on the subject.

    You can't make an argument based on ideology alone.

    • Which countries have collapsed because of public healthcare? Military spending took down USSR and a bullet took down Nazi Germany.IRNlun6
