Why I Would Raise Taxes + Health Reform Without a Public Plan: The German Model

[mEDITate-OR;
find these two charts VERY confusing.

1st chart -- the ONLY time we paid enough to cover our costs - for Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid AND for two war in Iraq and Afghanistan...
were under William Jefferson Clinton.
2nd chart -- we are the ONLY major country that has very low taxes AND pretends that WE are the world's leader.

Not only do those same countries have less expensive medical care, it is fully funded AND covers everyone.
And, they are NOT all using "socialized medicine"

If you have any interest in "The Truth", you will like these two very informative articles.
IF you do NOT want to hear anything that conflicts with what you KNOW is true...
well..., as RonnieR told U.S., get ready for a huge surprise...
incoming, soon, from China.
