I know there are a lot of people that say it's inferior, but most countries that have socialized medicine have a longer life expectancy than the USA so it can't be all that bad.


I would like to see the evidence of that.



Check this out. Compare the USA to France, Canada, England, Germany, Netherlands, Greece, Italy, - the other modern, industrialized countries that make up the bulk of our population, and if you want to include Hispanics, look at Cuba.

So if socialized medicine is so bad, why are the people in these countries living longer than us?

I admit, until I found this out, I too believed that private medicine was better, but looking at this one statistic shows that the media "talk radio dittohead" blitz against socialized medicine is nothing more than a corporationalist controlled campaign to keep the profit high for the US medicine system.

Leilani ran into a wall and put an inch long cut in her head. It required 5 stitches and cost $2,000.00 even with her self-pay discount. A doctor who stood at the foot of the bed for 5 seconds asked her how she was doing and immediately left charged her $800.00. Our health care system is broken, and the people funding the media want to make sure it stays broken, which is why you will hear the talk radio and political controlled TV tell all the "dittoheads" to repeat the mantra, socialized medicine is bad.

But if it was so bad, why are similar countries with socialized medicine living longer than us?
