Nice to know you guys are providing the same level of service to the Iraqis and Afghanis as well.

Oh, and if you are going to compare populations as to whether or not UHC is feasible...unless you factor in the GDP your argument is bogus.

I already know that nationalized healthcare is not feasible for a very large population — it just barely accommodates you hosers with your tiny little population of 33 million, and the Canadians who can afford it are still coming to the USA for the real deal in healthcare.— Doc Velocity

Yeah. They want to cover abortion under this vaporous "universal healthcare plan"... If that tells you anything about valuing human life and health. Ah, but that's another topic for another thread.— Doc Velocity

That's how infant mortality is calculated. XX infant deaths per 1000 live births. There are variables such as male or female, of course, but that's the base calculation.

Well I guess if it is true that we are paying for universal healthcare for the citizens of Iraq and Afghanistan, then the only reasonable explanation would be that our country is ran by a bunch of dumbasses and we are a bunch of dumbasses for voting for them. It wont make us any less of a bunch of dumbasses to expand it to the entire US population. Maybe we will get smart and quit paying for their healthcare too.
When Your Insurer Says You're No Longer Covered

You can fix the issue of patients getting marooned without paying for healthcare for everyone.
Your response totally defines the problem with universal healthcare. You think your cancer was cured for 32 dollars, because that is all it cost YOU! Your government (fellow tax payers) paid out a hell of a lot more than that. You didnt care about the cost, because you werent paying for it. That is why we need a system where people share in a greater percent of their health care expense, so they make good spending choices.
