How can you compare the US to Switzerland?

That's sort of like comparing a pea to a pineapple. I understand these facts and figures are all based on size and percentages, but the bigger the sizes get the more difficult it all becomes. In other words, the Swiss have 8 million people while the US has 315 million. If all the US had to take care of was 8 million people I am guessing the US would have better healthcare too.
That's a good point, but we spend far more per person.

It's a FUBAR system. Still, it's a system the dumb teabaggers want to keep in place to "preserve freedom" or some such shit. I remember the teabaggers showing up at town hall meetings on healthcere reform - specifically to disrupt them. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2...town-halls.php
