He shows the benefits and there was little (if any) criticism of their national health care systems. If anything, he went out of his way to show the perks.
Life expectancies were three years longer in those countries than ours. And I have to tell you, some of those countries reward the people who don't smoke and who DO exercise, so the people in those countries looked a lot more..........healthier to me.

Having just returned from Canada, I now can see the difference. I think they look different because they're not so stressed. Here we have a big divide. You have the healthy joggers/vitamin poppers/veggie eaters and you have the hard core smokers and drinkers who literally look like they're wasting away. It's certainly more pronounced here in the States.

I think we need a MIX of health care programs where those who can't afford health insurance are not denied care, and are charged accordingly. I hear around here that some people are going to change their last names to Gonzales because the mexicans get a free pass for health care. I don't know how true that is, but I'll be looking into it.
