Obama Heath Care Town Hall

A couple of points from Obama's Town Hall:



Obama says we spend $5 - $6K more on health care than anywhere else in the world. That is such a non-statistic it is in incredible. Of course we do. We also spend more on housing, food, clothing, cars, utilities, you name it. Because we have the money to spend on these things. If you live in a hut in Africa on $20 per month (like someone's brother) you don't spend any money on health care. You don't have the money to spend on it and therefore, you don't get the care.



Obama also says that if you get sick you should not go broke. His solution; if you get sick, you should die.
