It DOES not "work in every other developed nation on the planet"
spain, greece, germany, france, cyprus and 99% of all socialist countries have declining economies, high unemployment rate, high taxes, ZERO innovation, etc. Hey but they have free health care! horay for socialism!
That's because the Canadian government employs 3.6 Million government employees out of 17 Million of your total labor force. WOW! talk about big government! That's almost 25% of your total labor force!
% of gov't employees in the US is only 15% of our labor force. Considering the size of our country, military, etc. that figure is small compared to Canada's labor force-gov't employee ratio.
NICE TRY ;)
I get it that you're proud of your universal healthcare system. I honestly wish we have one but the issue is COST. if you can think of a way to implement universal healthcare without bankrupting our country i want to hear it.
It works in every other developed nation on the planet AND we spend close to 50% per capita you do right now.
You spend so much on Medicare/Medicaid because of your system; the US government is simply just a big employer.
The idea that the US is somehow operating under a different set of rules for basic math is mind boggling to me.
