Ok....so in order to make your argument for privatized health care, here is the link for the CIA World Fact Book:
https://www.cia.gov/library/publicat...ook/index.html
Make a list of a few countries whose health care system you like, and list the statistics for those countries. I bet you can't name a single country that even approaches the numbers of the countries I listed, all of which have some form of socialized medicine.
BTW, the things you posted above have nothing to do at all with the argument Moore is making in his film. Nowhere is he suggesting nationalizing the medical facilities and hospitals, which is what your entire article seems to be about. In fact, most of the countries on my list here have private medical facilities and hospitals.
The difference is that they don't have private health insurance companies and the prices the drug companies charge for drugs is regulated by the government. They also cover 100% of their popuation. That is what Moore is proposing, and that is what this discussion is about.
Do you have a problem understanding that a profit making system for health care has a conflict of interest? They don't make any money if you stay healthy. They only make money if you get sick. Thus, the focus is on treatment, not on prevention or cure. Is that logic so hard to understand?
