Sick Around The World

Last week I had the time and opportunity to watch ” Sick Around The World” a FRONTLINE production.
Senator Mitch McConnell, I hope you had time to watch it, but just in case you were too busy kissing George W. Bush’s ass and found it difficult to focus on what’s going on in the real world, a problem commonly know as a “Skills Gap“, I have put all the information below for your viewing pleasure.
Enjoy Senator!!!!!
In Sick Around the World, FRONTLINE teams up with veteran Washington Post foreign correspondent T.R. Reid to find out how five other capitalist democracies — the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, Taiwan and Switzerland — deliver health care, and what the United States might learn from their successes and their failures.

John McSAME says “a tax cut a day keeps the doctor away”.
John McCain on Health Care:
No mandated universal system; no mandated insurance coverage. (Jun 2006)
Preserve quality of health care by individual responsibility. (Dec 2007)
Give individuals $2500 refundable tax credits for healthcare. (Oct 2007)
Supports tax-free medical savings accounts & tax credits. (Nov 2004)
Expand medical savings; community health; & tax deductions. (Jul 1999)
More tax-deductible health costs; limits on malpractice. (Jul 1998)
To give every American family a $5,000 refundable tax credit
Give the individual a $2,500 refundable tax credit, a family a $5,000 tax credit.
I’m certainly not interested in raising people’s taxes,” McCain said, adding he also is opposed to requiring everyone to buy health insurance coverage.
It is simply disgraceful that 43 million Americans can not afford health care coverage. We must expand medical savings accounts, offer flexible savings accounts, provide full tax deductibility for self-employed health insurance costs, and allow tax deductibility for long-term care expenses. We should provide more funding for our nation’s community health centers, which have instituted a sliding fee schedule which allows people to contribute what they can afford and still receive health benefits.
To McSame, those tax cuts just solve all the nation’s ills! Maybe if we make rich people even more rich, they’ll buy everyone healthcare?!
It’s interesting that polls reflect that more and more Americans want a universal healthcare system, like all of the other industrialized countries.
if McSame gave me $10,000 dollars the wife and I couldn’t get insurance we both have pre-existing condition
