Perhaps since Winston Churchill is so impressive, you could consider his view on Britain’s National Health Service

Sure, as soon as we have the same population and demographics as Great Britain.

If you are referring to foreign born they are within a half percent of the US.

I realize that you believe Americans are exceptional, but we are human beings and our DNA is very similar to other humans.
For what unique reason would we be untreatable?
What other countries might have this unique issue that you claim we have with health care?
Would not Canada have similar issues, if not what is missing from their demographics?

what’s the longest
you can go, without responding to something i never said? i never said we are biologically different. i said the math isn’t the same, because there are a lot
more of us, and we have millions and millions who need it provided. we also have out of control
plaintiffs attorneys driving up
costs, i don’t know if they have that in england. medical
schools here are insanely expensive, docs need to make that back.

here’s a tip. read what i write. respond to what i actually say. no point in responding to gibberish that no one said.

So what you’re saying is that a single payer system that simplifies tort reform and free college education for those qualified would solve both issues?

I read what you wrote and it was gibberish
So I asked you a question so that perhaps you could explain why what works in Great Britain is impossible here and as usual, since you can’t answer the question rationally you claim you didn’t say that.
Then you spout some idiocy that a larger pool somehow increases costs per capita (better explain this to the rest of the insurance industry) and health care costs are all the fault of educators and trial lawyers.
Really?
