Everyone knows that 60 Minutes is completely unbiased. The quickest way for the Americans to reduce their health care expenses is to allow cross state border shopping for health ins. Right now you must buy ins. from a provider within your state. The ins. cos. love this.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. 5 of the top 10 gold producing companies are Canadian owned and they dig up their gold all over the world, not just in Canada.

Last time I looked, America ranked 37th. in the rating of world Health systems. Lower than some Third World countries.
First in cost.
All private insurance companies are the same where they will gouge the policyholder just because there are no checks and balances for them.
The government healthcare keeps the private healthcare companies more honest and the dishonest ones will close up shop and move somewhere else.
You go right ahead and get treated in these 3rd world countries listed ahead of the US.
Wow! You actually believe this?

As I mentioned on this forum a long time ago, I worked for the IRS's tax shelter unit and know all about what these things stand for. They are not "by products" but (in theory) are supposed to work as incentives for wealthy elites to invest in businesses or other ventures. Again, in theory, this is said to work to spur the economy and create jobs. However, the record clearly shows this has not worked in such a manner, for the most part. In my many years in the tax field I saw it work only once - that was in Chattanooga, TN where a partnership bought an old building, were going to raze it, and build a parking lot that would only have created a small handful of jobs. Luckily, just before they were about to implode the building, they found priceless stained glass in an unused vault. They sold some of the glass and immediately recovered their investment, created a luxury style restaurant, and created many jobs as a consequence. Well, that's the way it should work. Instead, the wealthy elites use shelters to invest in tax free accounts in the Caymans or in Switzerland. Who benefits? Only the wealthy thanks to this type of corporate welfare. The more corporate welfare we have, the less money is in the economy, and it results in a declined economy. Further proof that lower taxes and corporate welfare does not work for society's benefit.
By contrast, as in the Scandinavian example, increase taxes and as people buy products and services, the use taxes finance trolleys, transportation, universal health care, and finance infrastructure improvement. Further proof that higher taxes improve society.
You are wasting your time trying to explain the facts of healthcare to Walter. His post shows that as usual he is completely out of touch with reality. How about asking him to prove his point? Don't worry, he won't be able to; he never has yet in the hundreds of posts he has made since I joined CC.
Locutus,
You started the thread but have not commented. It is evident that higher taxes yield higher standards of living. Yet, conservatives tell us higher taxes do not work despite all the evidence to the contrary. ,What position do you take on this issue?
