Charles Krauthammer Wing-nut

Charlie Krauthammer is shouting the usual wingnut mantra that the concept of Universal Health Care is some kind of a fanatical left-wing fantasy that could only come to pass in countries that have fallen prey to the EVIL idealogy of "social democracy".

The truth is of course, that these countries that have fallen to"social democracy"; the rest of the developed world, have institutions, both government and private, and a way of life that is pretty much like that of the US.
The big difference between the US and the rest of these countries is the curious "tradition" we have of allowing people who lack employer provided health Insurance and have some sort of "Pre-existing Condition" to face Finacial Ruin and Premature Death. (JIM please argue your point) (we also have second rate health care that cost twice as much).
So much for "America's deeply and historically individualist idea of health care.
