Arguement #11 "Socialized Health Care Is Good!"

The Liberal Arguement: Your liberal friend, Lisa, cries, "I don't know what people have against socialized health care! All the other developed countries have it. It's got to be good!"
Your arguement: " Lisa, we don't have socialized health care because we are the leaders in the world in prosperity and freedom. Socialized medicine is bad for your health. In America, cancer kills 50 percent of its victims; in Great Britain breast cancer kills 46 percent of its victims. In America, only 19 percent of the men with prostate cancer die; in Britain, 57 percent do. In 2005, Britain's heart attack fatality rate was 20 percent higher than in America. Steroids provide great relief for back pain. But due to rationing, one health care district in Britain plans to cut the number of steroid shot each year from 60,000 to a mere 3,000 shots. Imagine the suffering that will cause! In Canada, the number of doctors is very low due to rationing and the government cutting the number of medical students. As a result, there are some towns in Canada that hold lotteries to see who will get to have a doctor's appointment made. Then it still takes weeks, even months to see a doctor. Why in America, our pets- our dogs, cats, and horses - and even some injured wild animals get better health care than that. You'd have to be sick to want socialized health care in America, and sick is exactly what Obama and the liberal
Democrats are.
Lisa, you've got to look beyond the Liberal lies you hear and find the truth. I hate saying this, but you are being too ignorant and lazy in the face of such a terrible threat to your health and freedom, that is, socialized health care. Why don't you watch Fox News and read your newspaper? Then maybe you will want to go to some demonstrations with me. Peter Nickerson, MS, MSW at 352-359-0850.
