Agreed that the VA is inadequately funded. Your beloved Republicans are in charge now — are they going to do something about that?

You still have provided no evidence to back up your claims of how incredibly horrible conditions are in countries with universal healthcare, and I’m not going to just take your word for it (word that comes from your precious wingnut blogsites). You also have provided no evidence that any country with universal healthcare wants to ditch that system.

I can, however, provide evidence that virtually every developed country in the world with universal healthcare has a longer life expectancy than the United States. We’re number 42. If our healthcare system is so all-fired terrific, we should be a lot higher, don’t you think?

You would think that if universal healthcare was the horrific nightmare that you claim it is, people would be dropping like flies in these countries.

Oh, and the cost of healthcare is considerably less in these countries as well. Probably because obscene profits for private health insurance companies aren’t part of the mix. http://www.pgpf.org/chart-archive/0006_health-care-oecd
