Where did we get the idea in the US that Socialized Medicine is a bad thing?  How did the AMA, Big Pharma, and now Big Insurance get such a stranglehold on the health of this country? 

Let’s look at some facts:

1.  Some form of Socialized Medicine is the health system.in every industrialized country.    

2.  We pay over twice as much as any of those countries per person for our healh system. So, why do out health statistics put us way below all those and even some third world countries as well.  

3.  All of our products have a built in cost of health insurance that makes us less competitive.  This is also a factor in large corporations going overseas to manufacture.  Wages may be lower, but the lower cost of health care increases their profit. 

4.We are crippling many small businesses with having to provide health insurance to their workers.Small business is at the heart of US prosperity, according to the Republicans, so why are they fighting so hare against Socialized Medicine which would greatly benefit is.

5.  The VA system is a form of sociaized medicine, and the cost per person is much lower than the “insurance based” system, and the better care patients get is also a fact.I am a veteran getting that excellent care, and my wife is one of the uninsured, so I know.)

One of the arguments used is “Just ask a Canadian, they all hate their system″.So, I’ve asked many Canadians and British, French, Italians, Russians and Geaorgians.Ask a GI about the military food, and they’ll gripe, just like Canadians and others gripe about their health system.If you ask the RIGHT question, “Would you trade your system for the one in the US?”  Almost 100% of the time the answer is a resounding “NO way!”

The advantages are obvious - lower cost and better overall health.  Not to mention the 42 million people without health insurance that drag down those health statistics and cost us more overall.
