Another Argument for Private Health Care

The population of the Unites States is over 300 million. That means the 91 people who have a confirmed case of Swine Flue is 0.0000303% of the total. Most desktop calculators will come up with zeros if you try to get the percentage (91/300,000,000).

This entire hullabaloo about Swine Flu might just work for the Socialists in Washington DC to implement Socialized Medicine. But before we all rush to the One to rescue us take a look at how well Socialized Medicine is working out for the over 2 million infected and over 150 who have died in Mexico.

First off as of yesterday no one from the Mexican Health Department has contacted the families of those who died form the Swine Flue. There has been no attempt to see if their relatives also have it or how or where they may have caught it let alone provide care so they won’t also succumb to it.

An example of the care provided by Socialized Medicine is a case of a Mexico City cab driver complaining of high fever and other Swine Flue symptoms. He was refused entry to a hospital because his paper work did not seem to be in order. He was denied care a second time because they were too busy.

Don’t think that this could not happen here. The evidence shows that this is the case in every country with Socialized Medicine. The government is not the most efficient entity at running any enterprise. This is true throughout the world.
