I will actually be surprised if anyone does, but so you know, it's from CATO, the libertarian free-market guys, and was selected for that reason. However, that particular study by WHO is notoriously flawed - which is why I knew to look it up - and the objections of bias literally could fill books and come from every corner, and as you might suspect many are total BS, but many aren't, and it's the sort of study you can challenge just because it requires so many arbitrary assumptions to produce.

Insofar as I don't believe we're doing anything to cover the uninsured, I must agree with that statement. ALthough in fairness, we do already have a number of systems in place on the matter, and nobody has to worry about bleeding to death because they are broke.

You are right that many poorer nations have found ways to give everyone health care, but the quality many receive is often worse than what any receive here. My problem with socialist policies is that so often it starts as squabbling because you have ten people and one pie, and a couple greedy people took a big slice, so someone gets angry and takes those slice away and then everyone argues while the pie gets cold before eventually cutting the remaining warm pie into ten equal chunks. Nobody thinks to just bake another pie, heck, often the person who took the bigger piece baked the blasted pie to begin with. Yes, something of an exaggeration, but it tends to have a lot of irritating truths to it.
