Best Health Care System? Not in the USA, Despite Constant Spin to Make Us Believe It
by Wendell Potter (11-28-11 The Center for Media and Democracy/PR Watch)

"A little more than a year ago, on the day after the GOP regained control of the House of Representatives, Speaker-to-be John Boehner said one of the first orders of business after he took charge would be the repeal of health care reform."

3. Or the very wealthy. In America, you can get the best health care in the world...
IF you can afford it.

2. I thought we all
realized that the American plan for health care is:

1. Pay out exorbitant amounts of money for a policy and co-pays.
2. Continue to do so and, go bankrupt.
3. If you have no insurance, lose everything you have left.
4. Die as quickly and as soon as possible.

Thank you for participating in the new, Banana America, Inc. RIP.

That's our good ol' American ingenuity at work. No communist/socialist health care for us because we have red, white and blue values.

5. And it gives our so-called bi-partisan "Democrats" woodies, too.
