Logic 101
Ugh... I feel like I'm back in 'Basic Logic 101" class. *sigh*
We spend more on health care... yeah, because we have the most up-to-date health care system in the world... Newest latest greatest always means most expensive. You get the latest greatest computer you pay the most... right?
We have the most MRIs, the most CT Scans, we have the best doctors and so on.... When you got the best, it costs most. This should be obvious.
Then when you look at mortality rates, that does not automatically reflect on the health care system. Come on... this is the most basic levels of logic here.
It is widely known Americans do not live the most Healthy life styles. Go to Italy, or France, or UK... (I have)... they eat healthy, they work out, they are not super over weight, and there is not nearly as bad a drug problem in most.
When a crack mother has a baby and it dies... is that because we don't have socialize medicine? When a 400 lbs guy has a heart attack is that due to health spending? When we have gangs shooting each other, when you drink, smoke, shoot up, and sleep around till you get an STD... is it the dumb systems fault?
"Gee if only we had socialized care, all the crack mothers would quit shooting up, all crime would end, all the fat people would suddenly turn their boobtubes off and work out, and fast food chains across the whole country would close"
Come on man, use your brain. I haven't got time to teach a high school class here.
You want to convince me, great. But you'll need something better than lame completely irrelevant statistics.
