Health Care debate or is Socialized Health Care a good thing

#1 Post by BillMorrow » Thu Aug 13, 2009 8:37 pm

The hottest subject today is health care in america..

watching Lou Dobb's recent coverage, it seems that most of the world has some sort of socialized medical care..
interestingly, the average life span does not seem to correlate with the satisfaction of the local health care..
such as Japan, where the life expectancy is 83~ years and everything is paid for by the government, people are not so happy.. (i don't think Dobb's mentioned the exact %)..
in germany 55% are not happy yet the life expectancy is higher than in the USA..

there are also the % of GDP each nation pays..

all of these numbers will be added by me or others..

SO, what say you (americans only please, for now, should vote, everyone is encouraged to comment, especially non-americans)

only one vote per member and you CAN change your vote..
