In
other cost of health care news:
Flat
earth Republicant leaders like Mitch – I'm
talking as slow and as boringly as I can – McConnell and John – I'm sobbing like a freak – Boehner like
to repeat the Republicant mantra about the US health care system being the best
health care system in the world.
Boehner says that whenever he brings another bill to
the floor of the House to repeal Obama Care (those bills which have no chance
of going anywhere, and now numbering somewhere around 30, have cost the US
taxpayers over $3 million).
McConnell likes to say it whenever he's not being
caught on tape discussing Ashley Judd's mental health.
Of course, the US doesn't have the best health care
system in the world but it does have the most expensive.
In the US a typical stay in the hospital for a normal
baby delivery averages $9800, in the UK it's $2600 and in France it costs
$3500.
In the US a C-section will set somebody back $15000,
England = $4400; France = $6400.
Need a bit of bypass work on the ticker. The US bill will average around $73000. In England it's a paltry $14,000. France averages about $23,000.
Daily cost to stay in a US hospital = $4300. France = $853.
Australia is the second most expensive after the US. Kangarooville = $1500, about a third.
The US spends 18% of GDP on health care. England = 10%, France = 12%.
The next time
you hear Republicants Mitch – I'm talking
as slow and as boringly as I can – McConnell or John – I'm sobbing like a freak – Boehner repeat the tired old Republicant
mantra about the US health care system – being
the best health care system in the world – tell them it damned well better
be since it’s THE MOST EXPENSIVE IN THE WORLD.
BY FAR. Then tell them to shut
up.

No shootings at gun appreciation days yet but don't blink.
Don't forget to sign our petition to allow guns inside the US Congress. It's our Second Amendment right to bear arms as we listen to politicians run their mouths.
