Dems still pushing government control of all health care--still think Obamacare was a great success

Democrats and liberals constantly claim that other countries have far, far better health care than the U.S, and that what we need to do is change to their system, where the government funds (and thus controls) all health care.  Dems have given this the uninformative name "single payer."

Of course not everyone would be subject to this system.  Members of congress would undoubtedly create a "special" health-care system for themselves and their families--just as they did with Obamacare.  Indeed, this is the way all socialist countries work.  (The Dems cunningly included this provision in Obamacare in the hope that they could lure Republicans into voting for it.) 

Dems and their allies endlessly praise socialist health-care.  Here's socialist Bernie Sanders (who almost got the Democrat nomination last election): “In Cuba they have made some good advances in healthcare, they are sending doctors all over the world."

Of course that's Bernie, and many Democrats will happily claim he's not a "real" Democrat.  Okay, here's the co-chair of the Democratic National Committee, Muslim Democrat Keith Ellison:  “Cuba or Canada or Russia or a lot of places in this world spend half what we spend per capita, and they get better health outcomes than we do."

The "spend half" is probably right.  The claim that "they get better outcomes than we do" is crap.

Dictator-loving Democrat Jimmy Carter claimed “Castro brought superb systems of health care and education to his people.”

And of course emperor Obama: “The United States recognizes...that Cuba has made...enormous achievements in...healthcare.”

Of course the Democrat party’s media wing totally supports this crap.  Here's PBS:
 “One of Cuba's greatest prides is its health care system." (PBS’s Ray Suarez.)

Here's CNN's Morgan Neil:  “Cuba could serve as 'a model for health care reform in the United States"

Here's ABC's Barbara Walters:  "Castro has brought great health-care to his country.”

But in reality, health care in socialist countries--or even nominally free-market countries that have nationalized health-care--sucks.  Even in relatively affluent Canada, the average wait for even such a basic diagnostic tool as an MRI is six months.  In the U.S. you can get one in an hour.

If the Dems succeed in nationalizing health-care, they'll tell you we'll have better outcomes at less cost.  Ask 'em about the U.K.'s health care, where the government has an actual policy of letting older patients die, by the painful method of depriving them of water.  They do this because they don't have enough beds available.  And the reason for that?  Government morons running things, who can't be fired and have no motivation to perform well.

Which of course is a universal problem with socialism.
