One thing is for certain. The fact that they started using Britain for their bad example for health-care instead of Canada's speaks volumes. Must have been better than they expected when they first started in on it.

You might be onto something there Nancy. Who pays for this "think tank"? I doubt it is a secret cabal of "community organizers" who are behind it.

An interesting article on America's health care system in today's Wash Post:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/ar...

"The US spends 16% of GDP, more per cpaita than any other nation in the world. Yet lags in overall health - 29th in infant mortality, 48th in life expcetancy, and 19th out of 19 industrialized nations in preventable deaths."

I'd say a fair amount of the blame goes to the idelogical blow-hards who keep yapping about "socialized" health care rather than taking a reasoned and reasonable approach.
