Since when is the "third world" a race? <br /><br />Without a source for the rest of your data, I'll accept it but it's going to be a touch salty with that grain I added. Regardless, even if their number of doctors are growing, which could be more because their populations are not, paying for all the doctors is just going to contribute to the economic collapse of those countries.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11015437494461387751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362663422037727028.post-37519267397148146052009-12-28T15:00:57.259-06:002009-12-28T15:00:57.259-06:00Your comments about the availability of doctors ar...Your comments about the availability of doctors are basically wrong. The US has 2.4 physicans per thousand, growing at a rate of 1% a year. You may be correct in stating that we have more then Canada, which has 2.2/1000 but a much lower growth rate at .2% a year. If you look in the European countries that have universal health care, pretty much all them have more physicians. A few examples: Switzerland 3.9/1000 growing at 1.5%; Sweden 3.6/1000 growing 1.4%; Germany 3.5/1000 growing 1.5%; even the UK has more doctors 2.5/1000 growing at 2.5% a year. Oh, your racist crack about 3rd world physician, there are lots of foreign born physicians in the US, and a lot of them are actually much better then their American educated counterparts. Every doctor in the US and in Europe must or exceed local licensing standards.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14891611733480586673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362663422037727028.post-67251704131093755172009-12-23T10:08:50.133-06:002009-12-23T10:08:50.133-06:00As to the bill being unconstitutional, I think par...As to the bill being unconstitutional, I think parts of it are. But legislators put "severability clauses" in complex legislation, saying that if one part of it is found unconstitutional, the other parts remain in force. I assume they will do that with this. Haven't read it though. Never did when I was in the state senate, why start now?

I was going to say "nicely", but there's nothing nice about HCR. <br /><br />I do note that the Dems who get voted out next year - assuming there's no national "emergency" declared, with elections suspended - will no longer have federal cops protecting them. An open season on former legislators may come to pass; as a Christian, I'm to pray for them, but as a citizen of the former Republic of USA, it's tough to feel sorry for those who have destroyed it.Rev.
