U.S. Health Care Debate Feeds Anti-Americanism in Europe (Part I)
The Euro-socialists herald their healthcare systems even as deficits are piling up and outcomes decline. Much like Obama’s Nobel was an indictment of America’s presumably undeserved historical preeminence in the world and a vote of confidence for Obama’s statist path for us, our healthcare system is a target of the euro-socialists precisely because it is the exception to the rule compared to the healthcare systems of the rest of the world.
Just replace Obama’s “we can’t just continue to drive our SUVs and expect the rest of the world to be okay with that” with “we can’t continue to demand the most expensive high tech healthcare in the world when the rest of the world has learned to quell their selfish demands for the common good”. Obamacare is about aligning our healthcare system with the rest of the world where individuals take a back seat to the budget line items of the state.
