It seems that candidate Romney is impressed with Israel's health care system. So, why can we in the USA have universal health care, too?
Blogger Kevin Drum has the story here: http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2012/07/mitt-romney-praises-socialized-healthcare-long-its-not-american
Israel spends 8% of GDP on health care; the US spends 18%. In Israel they have a choice of 4 free health care systems and everyone is covered. Can they do it because the rich aren't too selfish to pay their fair share of taxes? Can they do it because there are no insurance company middle-men focused on profits?
About Me
- Getting Informed and Involved
- I created my first blog Involved Voters in July 2008 while living in SE Michigan to inform local voters and support Democratic candidates. I currently live in New Jersey, having recently moved from 5 years in California. A couple of years ago I shifted the emphasis of the blog to focus on educating Involved Voters about reforming the US financial system and getting big money out of politics. With the election of Donald Trump as POTUS, I decided to create a second blog for the purpose of holding his administration accountable.
