There is no answer because all other countries envy our healthcare system for a good reason. We actually treat old, sick people - we don't put them on a waiting list for their surgery, radiation, chemo, bypass, etc...and let them die. Under the marxist system (Obama studied and loves marxism) that the democrats are pushing for, the elderly have to be discarded because they drain the society and don't provide for it. Never mind that they worked through all their productive years, they do not support the welfare system so they are discarded. The minority productive people support the growing majority of non-productive people so healthcare has to be rationed, wages for the workers have to be capped and reduced which of course, lowers the standards accross the board because it destroys the individual incentive to be a better doctor, nurse, paramedic, etc.... The system simply does not work and you do not have to be two levels above moron to figure it out. The few at the top of this out of control government will always have their quality healthcare. You don't think our crappy healthcare system will effect Congress do you? They don't pay taxes and they will most definitely get special incentives here also. It's called "communism" and the liars in Congress will live like kings as they always do. I sware they could say "let them eat cake" and the sleeping idiot, racist, Obama finatics still would not wake up and smell the coffee. I don't know what it will take.

The waiting times described in emergency rooms etc were actually less than what I have experienced in the US. They found it horrifying that in the US that the uninsured could be pushed back on the streets once stabilized without followup treatment. The lower per capita cost, greater longevity and higher birth survival rates seem to indicate in objective statistics based on the purchase of healthcare insurance that one payer is performing better.

He takes the non-answer to totally new heights. It's a good thing for him that the MSM have their lips firmly planted on his behind or he would really be in trouble. Gibbs is absolutely useless.
