    Well that and not to mention that politicians abroad do the exact same thing they do in the US. I know the British for instance have a Conservative Party that have repeatedly attacked their healthcare system in order to make privatized insurance seem better.

    And then the issues caused by a lack of funding get used in the US to say “SEE! This system doesn’t work!”

    Which is the logical equivalent of watching your friend baking pies with not enough filling and deciding to instead pay 4x the price for a pie that you won’t even get your promised slice of. Oh and the pie you get occasionally is made with the meat of other people who were also promised a pie and paid for it.

      yes, and the latest “conservative” assailants on UK (maybe mostly English) health system wear red roses on their lapels.

      They all see a giant unmilked cash cow wandering around in a short skirt.
