Actually, all modern countries spend much less that we do on health care, dupe of the greedy idiot rich GOP. The money spent here is ridiculous. The other argument is irrelevant.Feq you and the horse you rode in on. lol. Those countries spend 45-55% what we do and have better life spans. Killing and scamming the nonrich is cheaper for the nonrich. . lolThere would never be enough time nor space to note all of the things that you don't know...but, here is a pertinent one:
Before ObamaCare, out of pocket costs were less in the US than in single payer nations.
The following ‘Universal Healthcare’ countries have higher out-of-pocket costs than the United States:
Out-of-pocket spending as a share of total expenditure on health, 1980-2000 http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/5/53/22364122.pdf (table 4)
http://www.oecd.org/els/healthpoliciesanddata/22364122.pdf
Canada, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Spain, Switzerland.
In other words, as usual, you swallowed the scam hook, line, and sinker.BS. Copy the part that shows that. Ridiculous crap....There would never be enough time nor space to note all of the things that you don't know...but, here is a pertinent one:

Aha!
Now I see the problem: you're this dumb because you're this lazy!
I gave you the link.....get off your fat.....you know.
You're simply (and 'simple' is the operative term...) a dunce that you wind up and it give the Leftist talking points.
1. No one has better life spans than America....we're right up there.
Probably means folks are gonna have to put up with you for ages.
a) life expectancy: many people die for reasons that can’t be controlled the medical profession, such as auto accidents, murder, etc., and once you factor out care crashes and homicides, the US ranks number one in worldwide life expectancy!
“One often-heard argument, voiced by the New York Times' Paul Krugman and others, is that America lags behind other countries in crude health outcomes. But such outcomes reflect a mosaic of factors, such as diet, lifestyle, drug use and cultural values. It pains me as a doctor to say this, but health care is just one factor in health.
In The Business of Health, Robert Ohsfeldt and John Schneider factor out intentional and unintentional injuries from life-expectancy statistics and find that Americans who don't die in car crashes or homicides outlive people in any other Western country.
And if we measure a health care system by how well it serves its sick citizens, American medicine excels.

b. And this:
" The standardized estimate of life expectancy at birth is the mean of the predicted value for each country over the period 1980–99. As shown in table 1-5, the raw (not standardized) mean life expectancy at birth for the United States over this period was 75.3 years, compared to 78.7 years for Japan, 78.0 years for Iceland, and 77.7 years for Sweden. However, after accounting for the unusually high fatal-injury rates in the United States, the estimate of standardized life expectancy at birth is 76.9 years, which is higher than the estimates for any other OECD country." http://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/-the-business-of-health_110115929760.pdf
The lies you're trained to spew are designed to grow government.
$2,550 is spend on average by every person in the US on healthcare waste.
