Funny thing, my gross pay is good. The only fact I know is my pay check keeps getting smaller due to the idiots in Washington and State government.
Yep, and those are really the only facts that matter to me......

So, I wonder why (since we pay so much for health care) none of you will even entertain the fact that a single payer system like the rest of the civilized world uses would save us all money?Funny thing, my gross pay is good.

Because there must be some reason the rest of the civilized world so often relys on the US healthcare system for major operations, treatments or transplants.
Here's the main reason, note the source.

I cannot see any logic in your position. People who claim they want to control costs, don't want single payer health care? The only explanation I see is that you have been brainwashed by the folks who profit from the bloated wasteful system.
Your arguments against high costs and inefficiency seem very hollow when you won't even consider the one thing we could do to substantially put money back in our pockets.
Counter Point: American Healthcare Is Not The Best In The WorldHere's the main reason, note the source.
Let’s get honest, OK? America does not have the best health care in the world. Europeans and Canadians are not flocking to our borders to get to our health care. It is time we realize that we can learn from our neighbors and we don’t have to claim we are the “best” at everything. It makes us look really stupid in the eyes of the world.
I had Prostate cancer 2 years ago. I got into Proton Therapy (a new type of radiation treatment with no side affects) in Jacksonville FL right away!
I just celebrated my 2 year anniversary of being cancer free and I got to "keep my junk!"
If I were in a Canadian/Britain style system I would not have been able to get the treatment I needed, unless I went under the knife and gave up all my "junk!"
No thanks! I am very happy with US healthcare. Just need to make some adjustments not total remake.
Counter Point: American Healthcare Is Not The Best In The World
The claim that the United States has the best health care in the world has been proven false by every broad metric used. The World Health Organization and the nonpartisan Commonwealth Fund rankings rate the U.S. last of the Western industrialized countries. The WHO ranks us 37th of all measured countries.
Perhaps that is why these myths and lies are being propagated.
I was on your "Death Panel" and I voted not to treat you! :grin:
Thanks for not providing pictures on this one!
On a serious note I'm glad you are doing so well!
Don't know if you noticed but I'm located pretty close to the Canadian border too. I make it a point to ask all the canuks I meet and my Canadian clients these very questions. Not one has told me they thought their system was inferior to ours, in fact its always been just the opposite. Several have told me about coming to the US for surgeries, every example was for a boob job.Those of us that live along the Canadian border have for years been familiar with the large number of Canadians that have come to the US for better medical services(and better Dr's - funny, but the better Dr's follow where the money is, imagine that!) than what their country can provide in their healthcare system. Even our loser of a US Senator Bernie Sanders had to change his source for a government run healthcare system to reference(he now uses Norway or some other country(I forget which it is now) in Europe where we don't have as much information about it) after locals reminded him of how horrible the Canadian system is both for level of service, and the amount of time to have that service delivered (many of us have relatives that still live in Canada so we hear about it first hand).

I also have many clients in the UK and I ask them the same questions.... their answer is always "rubbish" the US system is crap.
I'm not talking about 2-3 people, I'm talking about over a hundred folks I have talked to, from every walk of life. All feel the US system is a joke and we are fools to continue with it.
