Democrats healthcare Liberals Obama obamacare single payer socialized medicine waiting listsFrom Investor’s Business Daily:
In Great Britain, where the government’s in charge of health care, as many as 1 million people are waiting to get into hospitals at any given time, says the National Center for Policy Analysis.
In Canada, another country where the government metes out care, roughly 900,000 are waiting for hospital beds, the Fraser Institute reports. The New Zealand government says that 90,000 are on hospital waiting lists there.
“Those people constitute only 1% to 2% of the population in those countries,” says NCPA President John Goodman, “but keep in mind that only about 15% of the population actually enters a hospital each year. Many of the people waiting are waiting in pain. Many are risking their lives by waiting. And there is no market mechanism in these countries to get care to people who need it first.”
And now more fun (and under-reported) facts about our healthcare:
• Survival rates in the U.S. for common cancers are higher, and in some cases much higher, than in Europe and Canada.
• Americans have better access to treatment for chronic diseases than patients in other developed nations and spend less time waiting for care than Canadians and Britons.
• Americans have more access to new medical technologies than Canadians and United Kingdom residents, and are responsible for most health care innovations.
• Americans are more satisfied with their care than their counterparts in nations with socialized medicine.

The funniest part is that they actually know about these “fun facts.” Look, this is how I see it, the way these “liberals” (thats right I said LIBERALS)coddle up to Islam and want to enforce policies that can only hurt America can only mean one or two things…
#1. They are die hard commies who would rather team up with Muslim terrorists (who want to chop off their heads too)to help further their cause in fulfilling their own self-hatred, with sick visions of wealth, power, and sadistic control of the infidels (I mean, people).
or..
#2. They are the “minority” of liberals whom are so brain-washed by the more experienced liberals (the commies, a.k.a. teachers, parents, and professors) that they actually believe all the b.s. they are being fed–> “Kumbya.”
