Death, taxes & Obamacare: Poster contest, Round Two

We kicked off the Obamacare poster contest yesterday with some fantastic entries — spearheaded by Scott G. at Ah, Shoot.

Readers have risen to the challenge! Here’s round two. Vote on your favorite. Print ‘em out. Spread the word. Counter the ACORN/SEIU mob taking to the streets to take over your health care. Resistance must be met not just in the halls of Congress, but in your neighborhoods, at the grocery store, in your car window, everywhere at the grass-roots level:

Since we’re posting our own entries now, here are two more of mine which didn’t make the cut. (But I still like them.)

Medical tourism: medicine is so expensive in the US that people travel abroad for major procedures.

Medical tourism? LGM, you’re not even trying with that post.

How can you post such nonsense when every objective media outlet there is documents the lag time between patient diagnosis and treatment being measured in terms of days in the US, as opposed to months in Britain, Europe, Africa, Canada & South America and Eurasia?

Read the NYTimes Op/Ed page today. Or does that fall outside your “objective media” category?

Google “national health care comparison” and you will discover that US health care is worse on average than health care in other developed countries.

What do you think?

Google “national health care comparison” and you will discover that US health care is worse on average than health care in other developed countries.

Then why do they come here for diagnosis and treatment?

No, I will not waste my time googling what I know is not true.

I have family and in-laws – some in the medical profession – living by choice and/or are stationed in Britain, Gemany, and Spain, and I know what they face when they even attempt to see a physician in those countries with just a simple head cold; I can’t imagine what it would be like to be outside this country with the actual emergency of a heart attack or or personal injury. Besides, we all know Google leans Left in presenting options/sites, and is as unreliable and misleading as Wiki in presenting skewed data to the ill-informed.

And what’s with your running down the medical services this nation has to offer? The best doctors, the latest medical innovations, and the most comprehensive medicines and treatment course are here and available to all – let’s keep it that way.

What would be the purpose of a Pay Czar, if the intent of the various bailouts were temporary?

Same as if they were temporary …

To dictate how much money people should be allowed to make.

An elected dictatorship is a dictatorship nonetheless.

Good post.

That silly fool uses “comparisons” by socialist organizations as corroboaration; but ignores foreigners who vote with their (often or usually) OWN POCKETBOOK and with their feet to come here to the U.S. for treatment.

It’s like trying to have a reasoned debate-style, evidence-supported argument/discussion with a rock!

During that google, you might also find articles on how the World Health Org did their rankings. “It more accurately can be described as a ranking system inherently biased to reward the uniformity of “government” delivered (i.e. “socialized”) health care, independent of the care actually delivered.”

Not surprisingly, one of the criteria is availability to all citizens. Since socialized countries “cover” all citizens, that one category shoots them right to the top. In the good ol USA, we do have coverage available but not everybody is covered. Most of their own choice, so that drops us a lot. They don’t have proper categories for “access” to health care, how long it takes, who decides, and what your options are if you don’t agree. The USA would win that criteria hands down and be at the tip top of that list.

As a matter of fact, the last WHO ranking that LGM cites was in year 2000. That was the last year they did rankings because they couldn’t properly calculate all the criteria to get a good ranking.

Hear that LGM, they can’t get a GOOD ranking system. You are basing your usual moronic assumption on BAD data. Dig a little deeper man, if you really want the truth, which I doubt. You have taken a position and are only trying to make your decision look good for yourself. Open up your mind and let some of the stupidity seep out. Be more liberal thinking man, not just spout moronic superlatives. Free yourself!

Go to wolframalfa and type in “malignant neoplasms” “rate of death” and it’ll give helpful suggestions for search terms, then spit out death rates per 100000 some of which are below:
Hungary 314
Denmark 294
Italy 268
Germany 264
United Kingdom 256
France 238
Sweden 237
Switzerland 216
Canada 208
Belarus 204
United States 192
Iceland 187

So at least for cancer the full list shows 38 countries where your chances are worse than here – and all the “Best Places” the MSM blathers about are worse.
