Another easily demonstrated line of Republican lies. By Bloomberg. September 23, 2013 6:14 pm bowser

http://www.bloomberg.com/visual-data/best-and-worst/most-efficient-health-care-countries

“Among advanced economies, the U.S. spends the most on health care on a relative cost basis with the worst outcome”

How many of the countries who spend less than half what the US does on healthcare and has better results have socialized medicine?

There are many, many evaluations of healthcare on the net.  All say the same thing.  Sort of makes a lie out of what happy horseshit is peddled about how rotten they are and how good we are, doesn’t it.

Line this one up with going to war with Iraq, global warming, Creationism and the rest of them.
