I'm not here to antagonize, insult, pick fights or be sarcastic. Just to ask a question.
Why does anyone think it makes sense to compare the medical programs in countries like Canada, Cuba or England, the populations of which combined don't equal half of that of the USA, to the medical program here?
Please, someone cite a country with socialized medicine which also has a population of 300 million, a system that works, and maybe I'll be more persuaded. I have nothing against Michael Moore. I loved Roger & Me and Bowling for Columbine. But I think he's bitten off way more than he can chew by expecting that a country with 300 million people, with 60%+ of them being overweight, and a large number of them entering their golden years, can somehow build a system in which everything is "free". It's not gonna happen in our lifetimes.
