So you pay more in taxes but don’t pay private taxes(premiums) so the overall effect is saving money. Something I think the right would get behind. However that is not their purpose. It is to serve their paymasters and ideology.
Already been answered and debunked,
Most of the waiting times deal with elective procedures.
Another myth brought to you by the people who financially benefit from our current system.
Speaking to the Aetna Investor’s Conference 2007, Troy Brennan let these nuggets drop:
The U.S. “healthcare system is not timely.”
Recent statistics from the Institution of Healthcare Improvement document “that people are waiting an average of about 70 days to see a provider.”
“In many circumstances people initially diagnosed with cancer are waiting over a month, which is intolerable.”
In his former stint as an administrator and head of a physicians’ organization he spent much of his time trying “to find appointments for people with doctors.”
A Commonwealth Fund study of six highly industrialized countries, the U.S., and five nations with national health systems, Britain, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, found waiting times were worse in the U.S. than in all the other countries except Canada.
How can that be? Fucking communists.
