Obamacare blown outta duh water.

This is a long op-ed, 3/5 of a newspaper page. This is a local computer nerd that gives local government hell.....but this time he shocked me, he's leaning right.

a couple of examples.

 For example, for men, the five-year cancer survival rate in the United States was 66.3 percent; in England, it was 44.8 percent; for women, the five-year cancer survival rate in the United States was 62.9 percent; in England, it was 52.7 percent.

The Western Europeans, and in particular the British, are fond of pointing out the number of deaths in the United States due to firearms (roughly 31,000 per year). A rough statistical projection shows that if the United Kingdom had both our firearms and our health care, they could save in excess of 112,000 lives per year.

Modified to add: He claims to have read the entire 1,017 pages.... knowing him, I tend to believe him.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
