(18) America's lower life expectancy compared to countries with
socialist health care proves that their medical systems are superior.
President
Obama has too much intellectual pride to make such a specious argument,
so instead we have to keep hearing it from his half-wit supporters.
These
Democrats are all over the map on where precisely Americans place in
the life-expectancy rankings. We're 24th, according to Vice President
Joe Biden and Sen. Barbara Boxer; 42nd, according to Pennsylvania Gov.
Ed Rendell; 35th, according to Washington Post columnist Eugene
Robinson; and 47th, according to Rep. Dennis Kucinich. So the U.S. may
have less of a "life expectancy" problem than a "Democratic math
competency" problem.
But also, as described in last week's
column, the citizenry's health is not the same thing as the citizenry's
health care system.
