Are we all blind and stupid on the subject of health?
If you do your research you will find that the United Kingdom, France and the Canadian health system, which is government run, ranks highest in infant mortality rates, and many areas of well-being that we in the U.S.. Fear is mongoring we hear about Obama's health plan is simply false. But he should have taken a step further and made our health care system at least as good as European models. Doctors in the UK are paid based on how to keep their patients healthy. Now there is motivation for us our model health system later.
Based on their comments, I'm sure he meant that the United Kingdom, France, Canada and health care systems of all lower ranks * * in infant mortality rates, 40 countries have infant mortality rate lower than the U.S. (including the three). 43 countries have life expectancies than the United States. prevalence of many serious chronic diseases among adults over age 50 is higher in the United States compared to the ten European countries. This includes a higher prevalence of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, stroke, diabetes, chronic lung disease, arthritis and cancer. In addition, the prevalence of obesity in these European countries is about half the United States. I think Interestingly much of the people who have answered your question, "Are we blind and stupid about the health issue," more or less answered the question … by not knowing what the &% $ @ you are talking, and instead, responded in typical fashion of the knee automatically to the falsehoods that have been heard in FAUXNEWS … Farmers during the Dark Ages not "believe in" universal health care, either … I've seen many of his direct descendants scream and shout during some of the televised town meetings … idiots do not even know who jerk their chains, or why …
