Simple give me a higher survivability rate after1. You claimed 90 percent of Americans liked their health insurance, no link was provided. It's also irrelevant considering you're claim is that Obamacare sucks because the government interferes in the free market.Lol, don't bother I'm Belgian. My wife is American, she choose to come over here. One of the reasons was better healthcare in my country. I do find it interesting that when you aren't allowed to deflect but actually are asked to argue your point on merit you attack me. See that's the problem with only having theories to argue a point. In the real world being an ideologue doesn't cut it. The best example of that is your favorite target. Communism failed because the politburo looked at the world trough ideological glasses and when reality came knocking they weren't prepared. You believe in the free market unconditionally, if you believe into something in that way, you will be blind to it's shortcomings. Reality hurts when it hits you in the back of your head.So when are you leaving?
I can help you pack.

You should learn to believe what I say....if you are capable of learning.
"When we started this health care debate a year ago, 85 percent of the American people had health insurance, and 95 percent of the 85 percent were happy with it."
— George Will on Sunday, February 21st, 2010 in a roundtable segment on ABC's This Week"
Will says that 95 percent of people with health insurance are satisfied with it PolitiFact
Here's what we found, poll by poll, in reverse chronological order:
• Quinnipiac University, Sept. 2009. "How satisfied are you with your health insurance plan?" 54 percent very satisfied, 34 percent somewhat.Total: 88 percent satisfaction.
• Quinnipiac University, June 2009. "How satisfied are you with your health insurance plan?" 49 percent very satisfied, 36 somewhat satisfied.Total: 85 percent satisfaction.
• ABC News/Washington Post, June 2009. "For each specific item I name, please tell me whether you are very satisfied with it, somewhat satisfied, somewhat dissatisfied or very dissatisfied. ... Your health insurance coverage." 42 percent very satisfied, 39 percent somewhat satisfied. Total: 81 percent satisfaction.
• Mathew Greenwald & Associates for the Employee Benefit Research Institute, May 2009. "Overall, how satisfied are you with your current health insurance plan?" 21 percent extremely satisfied, 37 percent very satisfied, 30 percent somewhat satisfied. Total: 88 percent satisfaction.
• ABC News/Washington Post, June 2009. "For each specific item I name, please tell me whether you are very satisfied with it, somewhat satisfied, somewhat dissatisfied or very dissatisfied. ... Your health insurance coverage." 42 percent very satisfied, 39 percent somewhat satisfied. Total: 81 percent satisfaction.
• Mathew Greenwald & Associates for the Employee Benefit Research Institute, Aug. 2008. "Please rate your satisfaction with each of the following aspects of your health care. ... Quality of health care I receive through my (health insurance) plan." 31 percent extremely satisfied, 41 percent very satisfied, 23 somewhat satisfied. Total: 95 percent satisfaction.
• Mathew Greenwald & Associates for the Employee Benefit Research Institute, Aug. 2008. "Please rate your satisfaction with each of the following aspects of your health care. ... Overall satisfaction with my health (insurance) care plan." 23 percent extremely satisfied, 38 percent very satisfied, 30 percent somewhat satisfied. Total: 91 percent satisfaction.
• Mathew Greenwald & Associates for the Employee Benefit Research Institute, May 2008. "Overall, how satisfied are you with your current health insurance plan?" 17 percent extremely satisfied, 36 percent very satisfied, 33 percent somewhat satisfied. Total: 86 percent satisfaction.
If you average these eight scores, the total rate of satisfaction is 87 percent. In all but one poll, the satisfaction level was below Will's stated level of 95 percent.
One poll, taken five months before Obama was inaugurated, did come up with 95 percent satisfaction. But alone among these eight polls, that survey asked participants about the "quality of health care I receive through my (health insurance) plan." While we decided that the wording was close enough to merit inclusion on our list, the modest difference in satisfaction levels may stem from the way the question was phrased. Many people feel more warmly toward their doctors than they do toward their insurers.
So, while one poll with unique wording pegged satisfaction at 95 percent, the average of all relevant polls over a two-year period was eight points lower than what Will cited. However, Will is correct that the levels of satisfaction with one's own health insurance are consistently high. Indeed, they're extraordinarily high, when one considers how rarely surveys find such high levels of agreement among Americans. Since Will portrayed the larger point accurately, even while modestly overstating the number, we rate his comment Mostly True.

"No you are trying to make that case by trying to disqualify all deaths by accident or homicide. they call that cherry picking data.'
I still claim so.
How do you claim that deaths due to homicide or automobile accidents are attributable to healthcare?
-You have provided me with POLLS that rate your health insurance satisfactory prior Obamacare. But you did misrepresent it to begin with. You claimed 90 percent of Americans liked their insurance. The link says this,
Will says that 95 percent of people WITH health insurance, like it.
Important difference since ACA insured people who previously didn't.
I and even you have provided links that its below par most other industrialized nations. How does that help your case?

You will find that homicide or accidental death isn't high in the leading causes of death in the US
nor is it in my country so explain why a small percentage of the causes of death have such a profound effect on the general life expectancy. Again you misrepresent data.
- I also notice you completely gave up on trying to compare your healthcare to mine.
As usual you try to find little things to question so you don't have to answer the merit of your claim. Government interference decreases healthcare.
I also reread your post and this I find interesting. How is 76.9 higher then 78.7?life expectancy at birth for the United States over this period was 75.3 years, compared to 78.7 years for Japan, 78.0 years for Iceland, and 77.7 years for Sweden. However, after accounting for the unusually high fatal-injury rates in the United States, the estimate of standardized life expectancy at birth is 76.9 years, which is higher than the estimates for any other OECD country."
