"socialism begets better health as you claim" Oh wow, you really can't read.

Hardly, just thought it would be fun to point out another of your contradictory claims. If this werent fun for me I wouldnt come here. [:)] quote: ORIGINAL: Politesub53 Touched a nerve have I ?

"he would go ballistic if I point out that the even more socialist Germans make the NHS look like a poor relation." Well I'd certainly disagree with that. In general the Germans may be far further to the left than us, but healthcare wise it's definitely the NHS that is. I'd also say the NHS is, on balance, better, than the German system (certainly cheaper and simpler)....although there are plenty of swings and some roundabouts.

quote: ORIGINAL: Sanity Really, your US News & World Report article doesnt suggest that socialism begets better health as you claim, what it says is that Americans are slightly more obese, have higher rates of asthma, etc. Which these arent signs of inferior health care systems, theyre signs of differing lifestyle choices and can account for more expenses incurred as well. Says he who keeps making the point that the UK is Socialist. While I`m at it, if those Princeton dudes get it wrong, maybe your education system needs looking at as well. [;)]

The National Health Service is the one good thing the Socialists ever did.

Which it does, most colleges and universities here lean very hard to the left so their findings (even if it said what you think it did, which it doesnt) should be considered suspect. Again, your article isnt claiming better health care, its claiming more obesity etc. Take off your bias filter for a change and try reading the article you posted, and get your first clue. quote: ORIGINAL: Politesub53 Says he who keeps making the point that tthe UK is Socialist.

quote: ORIGINAL: susan34B The National Health Service is the one good thing the Socialists ever did. Its lost its way a little but I have to agree with you. As systems go it is pretty fair to eveyone. Difficult enough with a population of 60 million or so.

If you like looooooooooooong waits and horrid treatment options, then sure. No treatment options for some things. quote: ORIGINAL: susan34B The National Health Service is the one good thing the Socialists ever did.

Even if the NHS did have 5 year waits (which it doesn't) and didn't treat some things (which isn't true), it would still be better than the USA, where you have no wait because there is nothing to wait for....you just don't get any healthcare. You're suffering under a fundamental misunderstanding of the situation.

susan34B -> RE: Damn socialists make British healthier than Americans. (3/10/2011 11:56:37 AM)
And your facts to back this claim are?

Lucylastic -> RE: Damn socialists make British healthier than Americans. (3/10/2011 11:56:54 AM)
If you cant afford it, no treatment option is what many americans are feeling too. hardly a fair comparison by any respect. But Im sure wilbur will be alon later to add his 2 cents worth too LOL nice to be able to count on some people LMAO

Slow down sport. I said healthier ( Just like the report), not better health care, that was your slant. Anyhow if worse healthcare makes us healthier, I can live with that.

I'm curious to see if you'll ever work it out yourself....though I doubt you'll mention it when you do, but'll bluster through. You're not pointing out my mistake because I haven't made one. Of course, of course.....this means we're both sort of in the same position of not pointing out the others mistake, so you can imply that I'm the one mindlessly throwing baseless personal attacks and you're calling me dumb in response to something very dumb I've said ITT. But you will know that isn't true. Depressing isn't it? No, that's right....don't let yourself think about it.

Okay, so where do the "damn socialists" as you say supposedly come in quote: ORIGINAL: Politesub53 Slow down sport. I said healthier ( Just like the report), not better health care, that was your slant. Anyhow if worse healthcare makes us healthier, I can live with that.
