Marine rips Democratic Congressmen

[ElmerMudd]

We are the only large industrialized nation to not have government payed health insurance.

We are the only large industrialized nation that enjoys the standard of living that we enjoy.

Conicidink? I don't think so.

We have the highest standard of living of all large industrialized nations?

We may have the highest standard of living but the WHO (World Health Organization) does not rate our healthcare system in the top 20 in the world.

Standard of living in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We are 15th in standard of living

I'm sure they don't... no agenda there, right? But, one thing is for certain.. I don't know of people leaving the U.S. to go to Canada, the U.K., France or elsewhere for treatment.

Of course I know we all long for the Cuban model....

Human Development Index - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Its a study done by the UN.

Now tell us how much you hate the UN.

The right wing does this with every study they dont like the results of. Its why you people can never accept any facts.

WHO does a predominantly quantitative analysis. (that means they do a statistical analysis not subjective opinion)

Sorry, you are wrong again.

I have lived in Switzerland. It is a grat place to live.

I prefer the US but I understand why people could consider Switzerland a preferable place to live even with their taxes.

I can't believe it. You are wrong again. Do you know anything about anything?

 

[RetiredGySgt]

indeed. It is when it's nothing more than a weak assed attempt at barking at a politician for the sake of barking at a politician. As if that congressman was going to do anything to his kids.. but, the soundbyte sure did give you a hardon, didn't it?

again. *yawn*

If that were a republican congressman circa 2004 you'd be screaming about being shouted down. Oh how the stood foot changes.

You may have missed the cheers and clapping his comments were greeted with, I am sure the Congressman noticed them. Remind us again how anyone that opposes Government take over of health care is a Nazi or Astroturf.

By the way the man speaking NEVER shouted down the Congressman once, in fact he stopped talking every time the Congressman replied to hear what he had to say. And the Vet was not shouting at all. He was speaking loudly to be heard over the clapping and cheering accompanying his comments.

Since he is a disabled vet I would assume he is using the VA healthcare provided by the government.

I would like to know his opinion of the government provided healthcare provided by the VA whether he usues it or not.

Ya cause after all he EARNED his VA health care, it was not GIVEN to him, nor was his private insurance taken away nor threatened to be taken away, nor was he told by the VA that if he did not have the proper coverage as determined by the VA he would be "taxed" ( you know fined) because of it.

Once again you dumb ass retards, Military service is a contract that stipulates certain benefits based on service and injury. It is not a freebie nor a socialist program that gives everyone benefits. A Military member EARNS that VA medical care by his SERVICE to Country. It is part of his pay and his retirement system.

You retards may want to actually learn what is and is not EARNED.

The man was a disgrace to Old Glory, the USMC, all Americans who have served and will serve, and to the American people. Any who defend him is a disgrace to all that is good with America.

The guy's a MORON...

You right wing pea brains are cut from the same cloth as al Qaeda and the Taliban...

Ironic, al Qaeda and the Taliban's hatred of Americans is evil, but this moron's hatred is patriotism?

Wrong again dumb ****. WHO gets the data from each country and that country determines how and what it reports. For example, with newborns a lot of countries do not even report mortality like we do, the baby is not counted as a death until after a set time has elapsed if it dies before that it is not part of the mortality figures. Much less the drastic steps the US takes to save premature birth babies and other ailments. We report it all.

WHO is neither factual or quantifiable since it relies solely on the reporting methods of the individual nations for its studies and reports.

Now view the tape again and realize the vast majority are not clapping for him
