    Lightbulb Start Date of Universal Health Care - By Civilized Country

    Thirty-two of the thirty-three developed nations have universal health care, with the United States being the lone exception . The following list, compiled from who sources where possible, shows the start date and type of system used to implement universal health care in each developed country . Note that universal health care does not imply government-only health care, as many countries implementing a universal health care plan continue to have both public and private insurance and medical providers.

    Welcome to The Real World America.
    All much smaller and relatively homogenous.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Odd, then, isn't it, that the cost of healthcare continues to rise at a rapid rate in all those countries. Good example of a solution looking for a problem to solve while the problem to solve is overlooked.

    I figured my time would be best place in school proving Conservatives wrong about Liberals and Minorities.
