What a great proof that socialised medicine can offer affordable care for all, in an efficient way. Quite unlike the expensive, inefficient private medicine of the US, with all the poor having no medical coverage. The one major factor that determines the amount of medical treatment that a person requires is his age. On average, half of the total lifetime medical costs fall in the last five years of an insured person's life. Which is the reason why private health insurance fails - there is no way to insure against old age. |

You snipped this part which is highly inconsistent with your pontification: "...However, the geographical distribution of doctors between regions is quite uneven (more than twofold difference between north and south) and the expected wave of retirement of doctors' in the near future will make this situation worse....." The problem is apparently all the doctors want to be in gay Pareee --------------------------- The same might be true if France had the same health care system as the US (provided one can say the US has one). |

So you want to use cap and trade and then ration the care. There will never be a perfect healthcare system in this world. Then you are spending time and money to grow government and NOT to solve any problems. We have a lot of problems with the U.S. healthcare system, and some advantages. Government is the problem and private individual initiative are the advantages. Other countries have problems too, but they also have a lot of advantages, and pretending that their system is worse than ours is no way to solve our problems. Pointing out the truth and ignoring the Socialist propaganda is the way to get to the truth. -- *Welcome to Socialism* -Kum bay ya- That was the pertinent part for this question but here is the entire Constitution for the DUMMY'S. The NEW CONSTITUTION Here… I did a find and replace of *United States* to *Federal Government* Article. I. Section. 1. All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a congress of the *Federal Government* , which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives. Section. 2. The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature. No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the *Federal Government* , and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen. Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the congress of the *Federal Government* , and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; and until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode-Island? and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New-York? six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three. When vacancies happen in the Representation from any State, the Executive Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to fill such Vacancies. The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment. Section. 3. The Senate of the *Federal Government* shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote. Immediately after they shall be assembled in Consequence of the first Election, they shall be divided as equally as may be into three Classes. The Seats of the Senators of the first Class shall be vacated at the Expiration of the second Year, of the second Class at the Expiration of the fourth Year, and of the third Class at the Expiration of the sixth Year, so that one third may be chosen every second Year; and if Vacancies happen by Resignation, or otherwise, during the Recess of the Legislature of any State, the Executive thereof may make temporary Appointments until the next Meeting of the Legislature, which shall then fill such Vacancies. No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the *Federal Government*, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen. The Vice President of the *Federal Government* shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided. The Senate shall chuse their other Officers, and also a President pro tempore, in the Absence of the Vice President, or when he shall exercise the office of President of the *Federal Government* . The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the *Federal Government* is tried, the Chief Justice* *shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present. Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, Trust or Profit under the *Federal Government* : but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law. Section. 4. The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators. The congress shall assemble at least once in every Year, and such Meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by Law appoint a different Day. Section. 5. Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members, and a Majority of each shall constitute a Quorum to do Business; but a smaller Number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the Attendance of absent Members, in such Manner, and under such Penalties as each House may provide. Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member. Each House shall keep a Journal of its Proceedings, and from time to time publish the same, excepting such Parts as may in their Judgment require Secrecy; and the Yeas and Nays of the Members of either House on any question shall, at the Desire of one fifth of those Present, be entered on the Journal. Neither House, during the Session of congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting. Section. 6. The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the *Federal Government* . They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place. No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil office under the Authority of the *Federal Government* , which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no Person holding any office under the *Federal Government* , shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in office. Section. 7. All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but *the Senate may propose or concur* with Amendments as on other Bills. Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the *Federal Government* : If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.

You're not going to cure what's wrong with the U.S. healthcare system
by bad mouthing other countries. It never hurts to point out the mistakes you see, so you can avoid them. -- Let's be honest, Republicans aren't much interested in that either. though, Republicans aren't really interested in pointing out the good things, as well as the bad things, in the health systems of other countries. According to one website, France is ranked #1, worldwide. The U.K. is rated #18 and the U.S. is rated #37.http://www.photius.com/rankings/healthranks.html The U.S. spends more than any other OECD county on health care at $7960. Norway spends $5352. France spends $3978 and the U.K. spends $3487. Sweden, for example, only spends $3722. There will never be a perfect healthcare system in this world. We have a lot of problems with the U.S. healthcare system, and some advantages. Other countries have problems too, but they also have a lot of advantages, and pretending that their system is worse than ours is no way to solve our problems. |

So you want to use cap and trade and then ration the care. .. . . Wikipedia lists 37 countries that have been rated better than ours, according to one source. Are you claiming that all 37 of those countries ration care any more than we do? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_H...alth_system s Can you give me some examples of where "socialists" have lied about the healthcare systems in other countries? |
