Then why do government plans, universal plans, run at half the per capita cost? That's not the exception. That's not a few hand picked countries. That's the norm.

Government run medical is less expensive. A lot less expensive. It's been proven, over and over.

Not only have they been less expensive. They have also acheived better results.

It is time to end one more of the left's lies about health care.

do some research the per capita costs of health care in those countries you keep nephariously referring to BEFORE they put their universal plans in place. You continually compare their CURRENT per capita costs to our current per-capita costs. Go back a bit and look at their per capita costs before, and compare to our per capita costs at the same period in time.

You will find that the ratio is about the same. The U.S has ALWAYS spent more per-capita on health care than any other country, going all the way back to pre WWI, universal care or not. As such, the current comparison of their costs to ours is without meaning. The conclusion that being on a universal care plan is what keeps their per-capita costs lower than ours is an outright lie.

Show us the data or link to that data then. All the data I've seen shows we spend nearly twice as much to achieve lower results. The fact that we've been doing so for however long is only relevent from a "stupid" stand point.

We no longer wish to pay 16% of GDP to ranked 34th in the world. Besides, I see you offering no solutions to the problem just empty anti-government rhetoric. In fact, is see you stubbornly refusing to learn from other nations for what appears to be irrational reasons.

If other nations can achieve higher results for less money then us then we need to be learning from them a better way of doing things and that my friend has always been the American way.

Why do you think not a single wealthy industrial nation would adopt our health care system? Why do you think they actually laugh and so "Hell no!" when asked that?
