Reply #28: Our ally, the UK, says France is best and they are studying it [View All]

to learn how they can apply it to their own country.

Go to The Guardian online and search for an article about the French health care system...noted by our Brit allies as the best in the world.

Americans are in deep denial about how abused they are by the health care system, the pharmceutical system, and every politician who continues to deny universal health care to Americans.

The heat wave deaths had nothing to do with the health care system. France doesn't have such hot days usually, and people do not generally even have air conditioning because they rarely need it...sort of like Chicago.

And like Chicago has deaths from the heat from the elderly whenever there's a heat wave, the same thing happened in France. It also happened in August, when the French get their one month of vacation time, and who knows if family members were away and no one was maybe checking on their elderly family members (at least that's what I heard one person mention as a way to insult France...those selfish French with a month of vacation...)

America has the MOST EXPENSIVE health care system, but not the best.

And we're the only western democracy which has such draconian policies which deny basic health care to citizens.

The repukes have been really good at propaganda, and too many Americans believe their b.s. about the "problem" with universal health care.
