[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 249744, member: 8259"] I really think you are the one who is missing the point. In America 89% are satisfied with the quality of care they receive, 83% are satisfied with the ability to get emergency care, 79% are satisfied with the ability to get top notch specialists, 78% are satisfied with the ability to get the latest treatments, 73% are satisfied with the ability to get non emergency treatment without having to wait. It is an outright lie to say people that do not have insurance have to go to an emergency room. My doctor treats people without insurance as do many others. 75% of Americans had no problem paying their medical bills. 11% of those people that did made over 75000 last year. 37% of Americans say the real problem is medical malpractice suits. 23% of Americans think the problem is our aging population. 80% of Americans think you should have more freedom and be able to shop around for the best price on insurance and medical care. 86% of Americans think the government should offer tax BREAKS to business to offer health insurance. 47% think more expensive drugs and treatments are better than less expensive ones compared to 43% who do not. Source ABC news USA today Kaiser foundation. As far as you last paragraph goes the reason it has been around awhile. The reason if I remember correctly that these numbers were proven false was they took the way each country reported their numbers as fact. I think the biggest was in America a baby still born counted against life span and maybe Cuba if a baby died in the first two weeks it was like it never existed. I am just going off memory here and it is a little shaky in my old age. The point is there were lots of experts that did not agree with this when it first came out. The real point is people think they will be getting something for nothing and that never happens. Health care will likely become more expensive when you add more government control and will likely become less available. [/QUOTE]
