Lets see someone set up "Blue Cresent- Blue Shield" over there.

This.

950 million dollars, do help a country that has no insurance industry and no healthcare infrastructure provide healthcare, is so far and away different than establishing a single payer system in the US.

Establishing a single player system is so far away from establishing a single payer system?

All things being equal, no. But clearly all things aren't equal. America isn't Iraq.

Circumstances matter.

Reality matters too. Unfortunately, you righties seem to miss it.

Just for perspective. That $950 million one time payment is .0004318 of what the US spent on health care in 2007.

Robert you little cheeky monkey. We know what you're angling for, but it won't work.

You still get your immunization shots, even with "healthcare reform." But be forewarned, you may not get a lollipop.

STFU fool. No one wants to read your stupidity.

I'm curious. How exactly do a bad idea that Bush had for Iraq, and the same bad idea that Obama had for the US equal hypocrisy?
