Thirty-two of the thirty-three developed nations have universal health care, with the United States being the lone exception.

The following list, compiled from WHO sources where possible, shows the start date and type of system used to implement universal health care in each developed country.

Note that universal health care does not imply government-only health care, as many countries implementing a universal health care plan continue to have both public and private insurance and medical providers

So... what's your point? You implying America should be "monkey see, monkey do" no matter what?

Use your head for something other than a hat rack, fucktard.

A list like that gives you plenty of places to relocate.

OH...so THAAAAAAAAAAT's why we have the world's best healthcare!
 
One of the most glaring errors in the list of developed nations is the exclusion of China. She is becoming a major rival of the US and doesn't have universal health care. There are apparently no plans to change that situation as they are busy embracing capitalism and are working at emulating what they consider the best points of our capitalist system. Another problem is that the UN generated list of countries healthcare systems isn't based on quality of care but is heavily weighted toward countries that have universal healthcare systems, ie: if you took out the values assigned for universal healthcare and based it solely on speed of service and results of treatment we would be number one with a substantial lead. Obviously the study was done with the intent to embarrass the US into putting in UHC because as soon as it came out the UN made sure the press published that info everywhere.
 
One other thing the study neglects to mention is that we actually do have universal healthcare, doctors and hospitals are required by law to treat anyone who goes to them.

It is interesting to note that in Massachusetts, their version of ObamaCare has not resulted in lower attendance at emergency rooms....



More people are seeking care in hospital emergency rooms, and the cost of caring for ER patients has soared 17 percent over two years, despite efforts to direct patients with nonurgent problems to primary care doctors instead, according to new state data. Visits to Massachusetts emergency rooms grew 7 percent between 2005 and 2007, to 2,469,295 visits.
ER visits, costs in Mass. climb - The Boston Globe


Just one more of the reasons given to pass ObamaCare proven to be a prevarication....

Let me know when the left stops pretending "insurance" equals "health care". Then we can work on getting them to stop pretending "insurance" equals "quality".

32 out of 33 nations are not responsible for 95 percent of all medical advancements in the world. Can you figure out which one is? More than 85 percent of Americans are happy and satisfied with their insurance AND the quality of their health care (two different things). Can you explain why you believe the only way to assist those who want insurance but cannot afford it requires destroying the system the overwhelming vast majority are personally satisfied with? That people like you keep pushing this system and insist we trade in a system where the primary concern is to restore the individual to as near normal as possible and improve the quality of life -for one where the primary concern is COST highlights the fundamental flaw with your entire world view. The notion that universal health care equals "quality" is defied by the fact it represents a monopoly. There are several reasons we have laws against monopolies in this country -so how many leaps in logic did you go through to pretend a monopoly that controls the ENTIRE industry will lower costs while maintaining and even improving quality? Do you need some clues as to why not one of those other 32 nations is responsible for 95 percent of ALL medical advancements in the world - and we are?

I'm tired of being shown "reports and studies" done by those pushing to destroy our system. But NOT because it will improve it. It is because it shifts a MASSIVE amount of power from the individual...... to government. In other words shifts power to the left -which CONSTANTLY seeks to strip power from the individual and give it government. (The left desires massive, powerful government, not the right -so naturally they expect to be the ones wielding that power. Power is a finite pie so for government to get more requires it be stripped from WE THE PEOPLE and MINE and that of my children is not for sale.) And refuse to discuss the fact the UK is actively rationing care and their mortality rates for all sorts of diseases and conditions that are still dropping here -are on the rise there. Things like heart disease, stroke, all sorts of cancers, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.

Unless switching from private sector system to a universal (get real -it is government) run system will PROVABLY improve the health of the population, then start looking for the REAL agenda at work. And guess what? It does not improve the health of the population and in fact, those nations with the longest experience, their people are provably less healthy. That means the REAL agenda with this nonstop push to destroy our system at all cost is being hidden from us. It doesn't make the population healthier because COST is its primary concern and treating sick people is a lot more expensive than treating healthy people. So guess who gets their care rationed first? Every time. And that isn't even touching on the fact France is trying to figure out how to start privatizing their system. Gee, why would they even consider such a thing given the people in this country who still insist creating a government run monopoly would practically result in the creation of Utopia and will accept nothing less than a government run monopoly. It being so.....noble-y and all that 32 out of 33 nations already fell for it. ROFL

So?

We lead, not follow.

Idiot.

Somehow, I don't think I wanna lead in infant deaths and malnutrition rates.

I copied this from another blog after checking his figures. I'm using it here because he said it so well. "The US counts ALL infant mortalities between birth and 18 months

some countries do not count pre-term births prior to 6 months that die, the US does

some countries do not count births under a certain weight, the US counts ALL born and died irrespective of weight or gestation

some countries do not count infants that die within the first 24 and oithers within the first 48 hour, the US counts all

some do not count those that died due to child abuse or neglect as this is not health related to them, the US counts these infant deaths as well

some do not count those that died as a result of an accident, the US does…..

therefore, please understand how each country reports their infant mortalities before you conclude that the US has the highest infant mortality rate, or one of them because when ALL countries factor as the US does………we actually rank A HECK OF A LOT BETTER than a vast majority ranked ahead of us right now."
As for your assertion that we lead in malnourished children you are going to have to provide a link to where ever you got that gem because I have never heard that before.

The Republican Policy of "Let Him Die" is much less expensive.

In typical liberal fashion you post a total falsehood and try to pass it off as truth when in fact it is the liberals policy to ration care to "contain costs" resulting in a defacto "let him die" policy. If you weren't such a moron you might be intelligent.

It's private insurance that rations care. Surely you know that.
