[QUOTE="rc508pir, post: 3043437, member: 40091"] All of those countries have higher taxes and much smaller populations. I would absolutely expect their health care systems to be ranked higher. Also note, a lot of those countries populations are in decline, not exploding out of control like the poor in this country. Secondly, Who cares the WHO ranked them higher. The everyday fact is, none of those countries have better medical care that the US for those that can afford it. Most people cant afford health insurance because they made poor decisions. IE, Joe Snuffy gets a "good" job driving the **** sucker truck(porta John cleaner truck)(just in case you didn't know), gets hitched to his high school hunny and by the time shes 22 and has four kids, Joe Snuffy realizes he cant afford anything because driving the **** sucker truck isn't such a good job after all. And maybe he thinks, he should have gone to college after all. So now the wife is nagging his *** all the time because he isn't making enough money and tellin him what a loser he is (note, the wife probably wanted to have the kids and just didn't tell her hubby, I don't know how I got pregnant) So The wife decides shes gonna upgrade and divorces him. Nows hes bummed out and goes out drinking to dull his sorrows and meets another pretty young thing. Gets married. She wants kids. He has more kids. He gets in deeper and deeper, and the x-wife is on food stamps The reality is, Joe Snuffy actually married his high school sweetheart because he knocked her up. The reality is, Joe Snuffy could have had a better life than his decisions lead him to. We don't need socialized health/universal health. We need better morals, standards and accountability. If there were FAR less people leeching the system, then we might be able to afford universal health, but we don't. Also note that in a lot of the countries o [/QUOTE]
