“Look at the metrics of that WHO study.
It ranked systems that monopolized the health care industry under control of the State... higher than free market systems.
It did not measure the quality of those systems.”

“Capitalism is for commodities, not necessities. Allocating medical care by the same "standards" as we allocate frisbees and Play Stations is so idiotic that it causes the largest economy on Earth (and what, 2nd or 3rd per capita?) to place 37th in medical efficiency. That's what you are trying to hang your hat on, fool.

“You perfectly described the problem with socialized programs:
Once you get people dependent on an unsustainable government program, it becomes impossible to sever that relationship.
So even the most anti-liberal, anti-socialist person will say, "Keep your hands off my Medicare!"
If Medicare is not reformed, it will bankrupt the country. So when the low-information voters say, "liberal policy will destroy the nation"... that's what they mean by it.”

“The internecine _warfare will continue to divide the Republican party. Look at what is happening in Florida, a repeat of NY-23.
The teabaggers v.s. the orthodox Republicans, it will be a sight to see.
And, besides, flossy, it won't make a bit of difference EVEN in the unlikely event the Republicans gain a majority in both houses, for Obama has the power of the veto pen and the Republicans won't have the votes to override.
It's going to be a long time out in the cold, flossy. Put a down jacket on.”
