Lib, I'm not convinced by that:
- Obamacare isn't socialized medicine. The NHS in Britain is, which as disadvantages (waiting lists) and advantages (everybody is covered and it cost half what the American system costs)
- Rather than looking at labels, I like to look at what works:
From the OECD (via the WSJ).
Admin,
I wasn't trying to convince you, I am just merely pointing out why a fair amount of people are resisting. While I do not wish to kick the political football around I can tell you this with some certainty. The major reason for the situation we are currently in lives one simple truth. One side of the political spectrum made this the law of the land without any input from the other side. Regardless of the law that has been passed, when this happens the other side is going to push back. Negociate on the front end or negociate on the back end, either way both sides need to respect the other and not force feed something to what amounts to approx half of the population of the USA. I don't buy the usual Fox/Limbaugh rant, that's just standard strawman material. The truth lies with this, political parties need to work together taking input from the minority party and giving them some skin in the game. That is not what happened with O-care.
