National Healthcare in Britain: They just canceled 50,000 surgeries...

[Markle]

Everybody in the world but you knows that happened because of so many deaths because of heroin and Fentanyl....

So doctors, under Obamacare are overprescribing opioids and we know he was a junkie as a kid so drugs don't faze petulant former President Barack Hussein Obama.

British did what they had to do Attack on Mers-el-Kébir - Wikipedia

 

[francoHFW]

The wreck of the warspite was off our Cottage when I was 3.

Mers el Kabir was a big mistake... The Germans never got any of the French ships... They were all destroyed as promised...

 

[HenryBHough]

AS I wrire this I am in Hearhrow Term 3 next to a family with a kid needing surgery and fortunately with enough cash to fly to America to have it done. No hope here for many, many months....if ever.

But relax, if you voted for Hillary you WILL learn to wait and to like it.

This is what Democrats want for Americans. It's not about improving health care for Americans; it's about dragging us all down to equal substandard care, but hey, everyone will have it and it will be "free."

If it is so substandard, then why does their population enjoy better health outcomes?

what the fuck is a health outcome and how do you measure it evenly

The report compared the U.S. infant mortality rate with that of 28 other developed countries. The CDC defines infant mortality as the death of a baby before his or her first birthday.

In 2010, there were 6.1 deaths for every 1,000 live births in the United States, which was higher than the rates of 25 other countries in the report, including Hungary, Poland, the United Kingdom and Australia.

In the top-ranked countries, Finland and Japan, the infant mortality rate was 2.3 deaths per 1,000 live births — less than half the rate in the United States. [7 Facts About Home Births]

Despite improvements in the U.S. infant mortality rate since 2005, "This pattern of high infant mortality rates in the United States when compared with other developed countries has persisted for many years," the researchers at the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics wrote in the report.

US Ranks Behind 25 Other Countries in Infant Mortality


Back in 1990, shouts a new study published last week in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association, the United States ranked just 20th on life expectancy among the world’s 34 industrial nations. The United States now ranks 27th — despite spending much more on health care than any other nation.

Americans, notes an editorial the journal ran to accompany the study, are losing ground globally “by every” health measure.

Why such poor performance? Media reports on last week’s new State of U.S. Healthstudy hit all the usual suspects: poor diet, poor access to affordable health care, poor personal health habits, and just plain poverty.

Why Is Our Life Expectancy Shorter Than in Other Developed Countries?

There you go.

Too bad you can't accept the fact that many, if not all of those countries, measure their infant mortality far differently than we do in the United States. The United States marks a live birth if the infant took a single breath. Other countries do not count a live birth if it is too many weeks premature even if the infant is breathing. Some do not count a live birth until the infant reaches one week old.

But, like all Progressives, details and facts are irritating things aren't they?

'Live birth' and 'infant mortality' are different things.

But, like all Right Wingers, details and facts are irritating things aren't they?

Mers el Kabir was a big mistake... The Germans never got any of the French ships... They were all destroyed as promised...

A tough decision. It is good that the men who were in charge were not someone like Nevile Chamberlin.

All the French Ships were put out of action rendering them useless to the Nazi's and saving tens of thousands of lives.

War is Hell!

Actually the newest battlecruisers escaped, only an old Battleship was sunk, but like I said all the French ships were scuttled when the Germans tried to take them whenever they did, so it was useless and pissed off the French a lot. it's why Oran fought the Allies in 1942 and other things like that...

It may be affordable, but it isn't "healthy" care.

The fact of affordability is wrong.

Sorry! The only thing wrong here is you.

Cost is important, but it keeps people healthy and alive better than anywhere else in the world.

Please present your argument that healthcare is affordable for all Americans.

There are many ways to cut the price of medical care in the US. One good way is to limit liability costs. Replace lawyers and jackpot awards with a workman's-comp style system. And, let patients share more of the liability themselves (which seems to be zero liability right now). But, Republicans and Democrats are united in wanting lawyers to get rich.

Reagan repealing the HMO act was VERY BAD.

The President cannot repeal anything. Have a nice day!

He signed it. No signature, no repeal. Have a nice day!

So, you admit being an idiot? Repeal means that a law was passed specifically repealing that legislation. Reagan cannot pass a law. Have a nice day, idiot!

Reagan signed it.

The bill was sponsored by Henry Waxman, a DEM.

H.R.3235 - 100th Congress (1987-1988): Health Maintenance Organization Amendments of 1988


Democrats in Congress passed it on voice votes. They would have overridden Reagan had he decided to veto it.

Why is this beyond your ability to comprehend? This was a DEM bill passed by a DEM Congress.

The actual bill was section 2178 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981.

H.R.3235 Health Maintenance Organization Amendments of 1988 - Amends the Public Health Service Act to revise the definition of "health maintenance organization" (HMO) to include public and private entities meeting certain criteria.

And to further my argument of the need for one private non-profit insurance for all Americans: Quality of Care Lower in For-Profit HMOs than in Non-Profits | Physicians for a National Health Program

Liability costs are only 2.4% of total healthcare spending.

Anyone who thinks Mexican healthcare is more desirable than that in the US deserves whatever kills him.

Affordability due to wage disparity in the US.

Using life expectancy at birth is a scam. The countries with the longest life expectancies are homogeneous nations. Compare a homogeneous state, such as Minnesota, mostly white and a great many Scandinavians has a life expectancy of 81.5 years. Norway, a homogeneous country has a life expectancy of 81.8 years.

Different countries also have different methods of determining what is or is not a live birth.

You also, somehow, missed this quote from the article about our friends to the North:
Take a look at the top 16 countries below:

16. Canada — Canada's 1984 Health Act entrenches in law the country's system of free at the point of access healthcare, known as Medicare. Canada's system is not perfect however, and in recent years the number of Canadians going south for private care in the USA has grown.

What does that due to negate the fact that the US has the most expensive healthcare in the world, and how many were traveling, how many are wealthy paying cash?
