No wonder liberals are confused...

A good reason is that the U.S. has the worst healthcare system of any industrialized country in the world and barely ahead of Cuba. I suppose you don't care.

 

Show me your facts for a change.

 

Is this YOU, Crabby, under a different monicker???????

 

We do have great high end healthcare available for those who can afford it at institutions like the Mayo Clinic, the Cleveland Clinic, John's Hopkins, Sloan Kettering, etc. I certainly agree with that. I'm talking about the quality of healthcare provided to the average American. I agree that two major problems are the unsupportable profits made by the insurance and pharmaceutical companies. That together with the way we treat the poor in America that is inefficient, behind technologically and which provides sub-par healthcare overall.

 

Which country has the world's best healthcare system?

Data: the US scores poorly on many fronts, ranked 11th out of 11 in the Commonwealth Fund 2014 list. And yet it far outstrips all its peers in terms of the amount it spends on healthcare – a whopping 17% of GDP

There are many other sources that say the same thing. Your turn..

 

Sounds like a good tax package.

 

Sure if you want the middle class and poor to suffer to benefit the very wealthy. I suppose you do. I don't.

 

It's good for the middle class. Everyone should pay some federal tax.

 

Tell that to the billionaires or specifically Trump.

 

This evaluation looks at the results of their healthcare systems. It also looks at the costs from all sources including taxes. The top 10 are doing much better than America on both counts. Actually, other evaluations show the U.S. in a much worse place on the list. This is the most favorable one I've seen.
