Olympics Kick Off With Tribute to Socialized Medicine posted on July 28, 2012 by Tad Cronn God bless the Brits. Theirs was the country that gave birth to the United States. Of course, the British did that chiefly through gross abuse and neglect of the colonists’ needs and wants. Which makes it doubly laughable to see the Olympics’ Opening Ceremony give time to the praise of socialized medicine. In case you missed it, the Olympic field was filled with giant hospital beds on which “sick” children were jumping and doing somersaults while their state nurses and doctors danced around them in loving tribute to the National Health System. I could imagine King Obama sitting at home at the White House, saying to Michelle, “That’s what I wanted. Why didn’t I get that?” Unfortunately, Britain didn’t get that either. According to surveys of the British medical system: ■Only 10 percent of hospitals met hygiene standards. ■About 20 percent of hospitals did not properly sterilize medical instruments. ■One in 8 did not properly isolate patients with infectious disaeases. ■One in 5 patients being treated for bypass surgery did not receive proper care. Among those who died, many of them did so because the staff were slow to recognize deteriorating symptoms and there were delays in getting doctors to see them. There are horror stories galore from Britain’s health system, like the woman who pulled her own teeth because she was sick of trying to find a dentist who would take new patients. Or the woman who was denied free health care because she made the mistake of paying for a life-saving drug outside the system. Or pregnant women giving birth being turned away from hospitals due to staffing shortages. At least until Obamacare, the U.S. health system didn’t report any of the same types of problems as Britain. Now, thanks to Obamacare, more people will be uninsured, businesses will be cutting jobs, the nation faces higher taxes, and doctors are refusing new patients or getting out of the business altogether. If anything, our problem is that too many liberals were already jumping up and down on their beds to bother reading the monstrosity they put into law. Of course, the opening also featured Mary Poppins defeating Lord Voldemort, along with some really great fireworks, so I can’t really get too worked up about a little liberal fantasy. Poster Comment: I'll bet lucysmom and mininggold were so proud when they watched this last night!!

Why do we pay for Israel's Single Payer Health Care System?
There you go again lying. This clown is such a liar. What needs to be cut is your welfare payment and food stamps. Go get a job mcclown.
Lying about which part? That the USSA subsidizes Israel? That the USSA subsidizes Israeli Health Care? and/or That the Israelis HAVe a Single Payer Health Care System. PLEASE be Specific.....LMFAO...... Sincerely, Mister Jimmie....8D
You said we pay for it liar. But you're not an honest person are you?
Define 'we' and 'it'. ;}
You claimed (lying again) that we pay for their healthcare. Then you must know their total healthcare costs. What is it? You don't know because you lie, and when you don't like you are uninformed. You're not even an American.
Why does that follow?
Why does that follow? Because you said we pay for it. So how much is their healthcare? You don't even know. You don't know much of anything. Florida is still here by the way.
I said we subsidize it....easier to hide that way.... smear the $$$ around.... You know short range Anti Missile weaponry. Ben Guron Air Base reconditioning. Iran Dome Abram Battle Tanks F 16's or the Latest 'that works' USSAn tech....those F 22's not rel;iable enought yet....BUWAHAHAHAHAHAH...;) Bunker Busters Chemical/Nukes. Mass Transit Settlers undermining foundatuions of Al aqsa..... O the List just goes on and on!.....;} Keep Coming Economy Smaller than Greece.... only Exports are citrus Children and Palestinian kidneys.... fielding the Fourth Largest Military in the World.... Who the Fcuk do you think is paying for their Single Payer Health Care System for All.....;}
O YEah.... just like the Planet Earth will still be here....btw... after the humans acting just like yeast...get treated just like ..... yeast. 2012...Hottest Year Ever....and one of the Last Good ones....;}
No numbers. So you couldn't put up. So shut up.
That you refuse to understand as your position has been bought and paid for ;) in No Way undermines my arguement. Israel fields the 4th Largest Military in the World while having an economy smaller than Greece. And absoluteley No One Calling for them to Default on anything. While exporting nothing but Children, Citrus, and Palestinian kidneys.....;} All Day long i can do this.... CZ saw the abyss...I don't think you do, A K....;}
Health Care Lessons From Israel - Short Stack voices.washingtonpost.com Sep 24, 2009 – The law guarantees every Israeli a relatively broad health care basket of services. The Israeli system combines the advantages of single payer ... So it is with great pleasure and a heavy heart that I call your attention to the Hon. Ambassador Michael McFaul’s most recent diplomatic flub (h/t to the good folks at opposition-owned Newsru.com). Earlier this month, on the eve of Independence Day, McFaul cheerfully tweeted out to his 26,000+ followers: “I’ll be in Yekaterinburg for the InnoProm Exhibition.” Only problem is, Amb. McFaul didn’t write “Yekaterinburg.” For some reason, McFaul got the brilliant idea of replacing “Yekaterinburg” with “Yoburg” (Ёбург), meaning “Fuckberg,” or “Fuckville.” Where your headed if you keep this up, A K.....;}
Looking for the Money quote, A K..... so far so good.... "Medical tourists choose Israel for several reasons. Some come from nations such as Romania and Cyprus where certain procedures are not available. Others come to Israel, perhaps most commonly from the US, because they can receive quality health care at a fraction of the cost it would be at home, for both surgeries and in-vitro fertilization procedures."=Wiki That would be Dual Passport folks.....;}
" While most refer to Israel's healthcare system as socialized medicine, some say it's actually a mixed bag. Dr. Bruce Rosen, director of the Smokler Center for Health Policy Research in Jerusalem, spoke with CBN News about Israel's health care system. "Most of the financing [is] coming from the government and that's good because that makes sure that the system is equitable and everybody has access," Dr. Rosen said. But the system works, Rosen says, because there is market-style competition. Each citizen chooses from four non-governmental providers, called a kupat cholim (literally, "sick funds," the U.S. equivalent of "health care" providers). By law, the kupat cholim must provide a benefits package that covers hospitalization and doctors' visits. The co-payment for most drugs is nominal. Procedures ranging from in vitro fertilization to liver transplants are provided to anyone in the system, usually without a long wait. Israeli System Preferred The system is paid for mostly through income taxes. Even though Israelis pay much higher taxes than Americans, many who have received care under both prefer the Israeli system. "I was in America the past three years and I'm a lot more satisfied with the health system here, especially [since] I have three kids and I visit doctors for all different reasons. I find them easy to access, very easy to get to," Havi Simmering told CBN News. Dennis Gordon agreed. "It's great. It controls prices. It has really good standards of care. Everything is really based on best care, best practices and you get what you need. You don't necessarily get nice waiting rooms, but you get everything else," he said." Still looking for that price tag.
