    A true conservative cartoon, one that should make them happy, no thought involved – the mule is well done though.

    Ramirez does draw well, I seldom agree with his cartoons, but I always enjoy looking at them.

    The cost of the proposed Commie Health Care continues to climb- and we know that all too often, what liberal, nanny state government tells us something will cost, usually ends up 2, 3 even 10 times more. And it won’t even cover ALL people, even though the libs try to make it sound like it would!

    But it’s not really about health care, in the end. It’s all about libs finding a way to get a socialist toe in the door. They have much, much more planned and if they get their way, we’ll see our rights disappear, as the government tells us where we can go, what we can eat, where we can work, even what career we have to choose.

    Socialists-Libs are all about Social Engineering- they have a vision of how we should all live and they want to be able to force us all to live by their vision!

    Disgusting, perverted, hypocritical, immoral, dishonest libs! So sick!

    “But it’s not really about health care, in the end.”

    I say….3 cup Monty….. all 3 cups have a pea under it . All chosen (bought) for and from the very same pod .

    The “Game” .. stir the pot , keep it moving and don’t let a crust form . (divide and conquer)

    The “End”.. One World Rule and the unobstructed “finale solution for World overpopulation”.(New World Order)

    The ducks are end to end . Prayer is the only hope now .

    This cartoon speaks the truth in a nutshell.

    Ken, I too like the detail and complexity of Ramirez’s artwork, which leads me to question why his politics is so empty of detail, complexity, or analysis of the real world.

    Hey, just because most other industrialized countries can have a working healthcare system that produces comparable results to those in America for half the cost doesn’t mean the US of A can have that! No sir, that would be un-American!

    Hey piglet, the statistics that compare our system with the rest of the world are a pile dog poop.

    I knew it before I had to partake of some of that ” …comparable results to those in America for half the cost …”, in Europe.

    There is no comparison! Particularly with respect to availability and technology. And the cost? Considering that you are getting a 30-year old technology, it is bloody expansive.

    No, thanks. Keep the bloody government out of the business!!!

    Peter, apparently you think that people in the Netherlands, Switzerland, France or Germany are being cut with medieval saws, and every little clinic in the US is a haven of technology to make NASA proud.

    Get real. Availability and technology not existing anywhere else? I’m basing my claim on the OECD, where in 2007 the average costs per person in the US were approximately 7200 USD, including the uninsured (costs for which are included in the average). No other country even came close. The surveys on the effects of healthcare have been attacked by some, but are solid enough to support the claim that the US does not enjoy an across-the-board advantage. I have seen no credible evidence to the contrary.

    You claim there can be no comparison? Care to say what YOU base your claim on, when the likes of the OECD do not satisfy your high standards for statistical quality?

    ^
    He did state that he was recently treated in “Europe” (England?) and that this anecdotal account is therefore the benchmark for the rest of the continent.
