A Quick Reminder

...from truthout.com about something that needs to stay near the top of our priorities list:
The problem, of course, is our health care system – although “system” seems like a flattering word for this greed-driven, anarchic three-ring circus. Our health care system – guess we’ll need to call it that for lack of an alternativer – is the worst in the developed world. It costs far more, provides much less, and has worse outcomes than any system that’s even remotely comparable.
--and--
If we spent the same on health as the average developed country (as a percentage of GDP) that would inject more than a trillion dollars per year into other parts of the economy.
The "clear-eyed, pragmatic grownups" (mostly Repubs calling themselves conservative) are full o' shit.
