@sarahkliff and so your solution is to involve more of the force that had made it so bad: the federal government.
@CommonSenser1 @sarahkliff You call it the Govt. but "Free Market" has made Insurance CEOs Billionaires.
1. @oldmancrying @sarahkliff we do not have a free market in healthcare. Over 50% paid by gov't. We have the worst situation: half-measure.
@sarahkliff @PovertyLawProf Canada health system in study a long way from excellent standards of UK -only beat USA ! Not impressed#canpoli
@sarahkliff @CainSauer Another example:infant death rate. Any infant takes a breath in US =live birth. If non-viable other countries don't
@sarahkliff @CainSauer This chart meaningless. Each country evaluated by differing standards- for example elderly treat vs comfort?
.@sarahkliff So independent doctors/hospitals do have to bill in UK/NZ. Not all internal. But 1 major payer (govt) & some insurance (2/2)
.@sarahkliff In UK & NZ most (not all) hospitals govt owned. Many doctors (esp. GP/family practice) work privately, & bill government. (1/2)
@sarahkliff @ezraklein Is the healthcare system really at fault. Or are there possibly other factors involved?

@sarahkliff @tron_lord Yay! Let's Americanise our health system!
@WarWraith yep that's where we're heading with Abbott and co
@sarahkliff @BernardKeane of course,the ultimate capitalist society, the rich get all, the poor f@#k all.

@sarahkliff even if the US had better healthcare than Canada, that wouldn't be much of an achievement, especially spending 2x to get it.
@sarahkliff Where were Dems & pundits when #Baucus threw single payer advocates out of Senate during HC debate? Even #Klein & #Cohn caved.
@sarahkliff Everyone who's ever studied healthcare in the world knows this...maybe even a couple Republicans.
@sarahkliff but it is the most expensive and therefore the best, unless all these Cadillac ads have been lying to me
