Great post, Curt.

You know what I rarely see addressed in the socialized medicine discussion – from either side really. Is the fact that the United States population is HUGE compared to the populations of all these other countries with failed socialized medicine.

If this is tried AT ALL, it should be tried on a state-by-state basis. Mitt Romney did it for Massachusetts, I believe, and that’s fine. If the people of Massachusetts want to vote on socialized medicine for themselves, so be it. But this should not be forced upon the entire nation, especially when there is so much evidence to show that it has been a complete failure anywhere else it has been tried in the world.

Another big issue that really doesn’t get addressed enough is the fact that the places where they spend so much on failed socialized medicine, they don’t have large militaries. Canada’s military is tiny. So the reason some of these countries could even experiment with spending HUGE amounts of taxpayer money on socialized medicine is the fact that they don’t have to worry about funding a military. We are the world’s police force and that benefits these countries in more than just security, but also allowing them to not have to spend money on their own standing military.

I find it interesting though that the Left claims to be the champions of “choice”, but when it comes down to it, the only “choice” they support is killing babies. When it comes to choosing a doctor, choosing a school for one’s kids, etc, they are adamantly against “choice”. Interesting how that works.
