Socialized Health Care in the USA

[Skandranon]

While, "In the United States, which has had both a high level of health spending per capita and a relatively high rate of real growth in that spending, the share of GDP devoted to health grew from 8.8% of GDP in 1980 to 15.2% of GDP in 2003 (Exhibit 5)." (source) Our health care per capita is at least double to triple other developed nations.

It takes some massive ideological blinders, or epic cognitive dissonance, to cite these statistics from nations whose health care is all more socialistic than the United States' and somehow come away concluding that socialization is the problem.
