Crediting 50 years of medical advancements to "government funded healthcare" is inane. Medical science advanced in spite of government meddling, not because of it.Way back before government was involved in healthcare, there was zero government healthcare fraud.
Just saying.
That's a true statement alan1, and far be it from me to call you an idiot for making it, but consider-------in 1960 life expectancy in the United States was 69.7 years, along came gov't funded healthcare, and-------voila-------in 2010 life expectancy in the United States has increased to 78.7 years. IOW's, going back to a time when all health insurance was provided by private corporations is a death sentence for the average citizen of the United States-------no wonder, Americans get really-really pissed when Republicans start talking about privatizing Medicare.
Huh? Are you trying to imply that all medical advances since the mid-1960's have been privately funded?
