Why Do Liberals Want Government Health Care?

It can’t be for the health care:
Hundreds of patients died needlessly at NHS hospital due to appalling care
Poor nursing care, filthy wards and lack of leadership at Basildon and Thurrock University NHS Hospitals FoundationTrust led to the deaths of up to 400 patients a year.
Figures compiled by a health watchdog showed death rates at the Essex trust were a third higher than they should have been.
This is entirely unsurprising. Why? Because their is no upside in government run health care in providing high quality care. All you get when you do that is more hassles – more people to treat, more procedures to do, more tests to make…it really eats in to your time and as you don’t get paid any more if you do it, what is the point? And so, the natural result of government run health care is poor care – and there is no way to fix it.
Doesn’t matter how much money you pour in to it. Doesn’t matter how many commissions you create to deal with the problems of poor care. Doesn’t matter how much public outrage there is. You can’t fix a government bureaucracy – they are impervious to facts, logic and basic human decency. The only thing they do well is perpetuate themselves – anything else they do is, at best, mediocre and it only happened because they dare not have no results at all (unless you get on a really sweet government agency like the Inter-agency Alternative Dispute Resolution Working Group where there can be no measurable results).
We turn our health care over to such people and in short order we’ll all just have bad care – except for the politically connected and the well off; they’ll continue to have first class care because the rich can just buy the talent and the health system makes certain they do provide good care for those who can jeopardize the annual budget.
Is this what the liberals want? I don’t think so – and that means we have to go with their innate desire to control others. There is really no other explanation for it. Unless, that is, they are just plain and simple stupid.

Good one Neo, you do have a sense of humor.
Neocon
Why are you calling people Morons.
That shows a very lack of respect and a lack of sense to do this on a website.
Definition:
Moron (bacteriophage), an extra gene in prophage genomes that do not have a phage function in the lysogenic cycle
Shows a lack of understanding too.
Just so you would comprehend.
“…very few people want to be like us…” but they sure as hell want to be HERE. Not all, for sure, but millions every year pay to come here legally as tourists to see what America is like, as immigrants planning to stay, as seasonal workers, and of course the hundreds of thousands every year who literally risk their lives to live here. And, of course, the refugees from state-run health care systems where they can’t get treatment. Not bad for a crappy country some of its own citizens can’t stop trashing.
And aztec, if you walk like a duck and quack like a duck, you can hardly be surprised when people treat you like a duck.
I just moved from a resort area which is filled to the brim with people from all over the world. The local market sounds like Babel, with all the languages floating around. I’ve had interns from England and South America. My banker is Romanian, friends are from the Czech Republic and Peru and South Africa and Poland and El Salvador and Somalia, Namibia and India. No one dragged them here; they went to a lot of trouble and expense to be here. And I’m betting our discussions over the years, over long meals and beer drinking sessions and so on, have covered a lot more ground, more candidly and more deeply, than chatting up locals as a tourist is likely to do. And one question I have never been able to answer is “why do so many Americans hate their own country?”
I, too, have traveled a lot, and I, too, have met people who were happy to offer negative opinions of my country. But I had the intellectual integrity and curiosity to ask them where they got the information on which they based their opinions, and invariably it was from CNN, or Dallas or Dynasty reruns, or movies, or Michael Moore “documentaries”. GIGO.
And you have to factor in cultural bias as well. On several trips to Emgland I was close to sites of bombings—the day before, the day after, etc. And Brits seemed to be very blase about bombs being left in cars or tossed down pub stairways, about having bags searched in public buildings, about warnings about unattended bags decades before we ever experienced those things here. But they were totally freaked out about my ability to buy a handgun to carry on horseback rides in the Colorado Rockies. It’t what you are used to and what you are told is common and good that tends to form your opinions about what is common and good.
Amazona, I assume that you see the filter that the foreigners you talk to have come through. You are only talking to the ones who wanted to leave their native land. Most People in any country have a very strong of patriotism toward their country. They feel their country is the best in the world just as we feel that about the US. Even most illegal immigrants only come here because they can make more money to send back HOME. The Mexican illegals expect free health care here because they can get it in Mexico and they can’t imagine that a country as advanced as ours would not provide that service. Admittedly most of them come from villages and are not too worldly,they don’t know how our system works.
Back to my original assertion though, if you know any recent immigrants ask them if they would trade the health care they got in their country for an Aetna HMO? I don’t think you’ll get many yes’s.
