Just literally went from reading this forum to my usual news website. This was the top story.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/the-brutal-truth-about-americarsquos-healthcare-1772580.html

good article, especially the statistics at the end.

Not... really... for the reasons I just stated above.

I mean... the life expectancy rate is only 2% off despite the massive differnences in things unrealted to healthcare such as murder rates and prison populations.

States in the US that spend less on Medicare actually get better medicare results.

 

California is one of the bottom 3 when it comes to government run healthcare... because they're so wastefull with their money.  Which is really just a state problem in general.  California is a mess.

 

They raised their government spending to insane degress by raising taxes, and they drove away buisnesses, lost their tax revenue, and now dont' even have enough money to pay the people the government owes money too.

They're giving people IOU's... then expecting those same people to pay taxes... on the IOUS!.

"Here... I owe you $100.  No give me $35"

California is about the worst state you could give as an example because its the perfect example of what people against universal healthcare are afraid of.
