题目: Re:but you don't see US citizens rushing to those countries for health care needs
(V): Nonsense. Canada's health care system is not a model to follow. People in Canada have to wait months for care. It's the Canadians that come to the US to get care. Not the other way around.
And health care in the US is already free. People get free care all the time. If you show up at the ER, you have to be treated regardless of your ability to pay. Most clinics have a sliding scale. Socialized medicine underserves. US health care is the best in the world.
As for Cuba, you watch too much Michael Moore. No one goes to Cuba for health care. That's simply a lie by the fat man.
And your Africa example is meaning less to the point. Many hundreds of medical teams from the US go to Africa to provide free medical care. So what.
Honest politicians all agree that socialized medicine will not improve care, but diminish the care. Government run health care has a proven track record of FAILURE. Period.
