Holly, You Sir, are the master of attempting to stray off course, and focus among the most trivial of comments, while avoiding the issues!!
But, in order to address your mis-statements, no, Germany does not have a "Nationalized Health Care" system such as can be found in the Netherlands or in Great Britain per se. Germany does have a varied form of universal health care, which is similar to the system that is currently in place here in the United States. There is no one in the United States who can be refused health care treatment if they are hurt, or sick, and most especially if they are poor or indigent!! More importantly, Germany has a federal and state income tax rate, which is about similar to our own, and the German peoples receive far more benefits from their government than the average American does. The point, which you obviously don't want to address, is that President Obama went over to Germany last week, and insulted Chancellor Merckle, as he has now done with the Prime Minister of Great Britain, the President of France, the Prime Minister of Australia, and most all of America's allies. Again, your partisanship is blinding your logical, rational, critical thinking abilities Holly!! On Sat, Jun 6, 2009 at 2:53 PM, Hollywood <[email protected]>wrote: > > KIT, > > "Somewhat misplaced"?
