Moving to the UK, Blabo?




If not, explain the relevance of your fearmongering whine.




Are you just afraid your erectile dysfunction treatments won't be covered?

When did Obama pass socialized medicine bravo? Was it a midnight presidential signing statement?

BTW...

Nearly 45,000 people die in the United States each year -- one every 12 minutes -- in large part because they lack health insurance and can not get good care, Harvard Medical School researchers found in an analysis.

"We're losing more Americans every day because of inaction ... than drunk driving and homicide combined," Dr. David Himmelstein, a co-author of the study and an associate professor of medicine at Harvard, said in an interview with Reuters.

Overall, researchers said American adults age 64 and younger who lack health insurance have a 40 percent higher risk of death than those who have coverage.

The findings come amid a fierce debate over Democrats' efforts to reform the nation's $2.5 trillion U.S. healthcare industry by expanding coverage and reducing healthcare costs.
 
Poor Blabo.

Under the current greed-driven system of providing health care to the wealthy, the healthy, and some of the employed, he's not getting the mental health care he so obviously needs.
 
First Bravo: Msg # 1.
