Yea, the current republicans know there is more than one country over there. Now I could make a crack about all Europeans being rude, but it would be wrong to judge all those people based on your one post.

They are quite good at hiding it! The current GOP à la Palin is very different from the party that I would have happily joined years ago when I lived in the states.

They aren't hiding anything. Your judging the whole group on the idiots in the spotlight. It's very narrow minded, but if that's what gets your through the day, by all means enjoy. Just keep in mind others will judge you on your attitude and you will own it all.

Can anyone get any procedure done whenever they want, like boob jobs or liposuction, or is health care rationed?

only when it is health related ....not "just" to look better (unless you had cancer, an accident etc...).

Rationed in Spain.

An uncle with stomach and esophageal cancer was denied surgery because it would be too costly and the survival rate was too low.

So he and his partner sold their business and a home, and paid out of pocket for private-practice surgery that kept him with us for nearly 4 more years.

@Sanity, in most systems the answer is yes.... However you'd have to go private for something like a boob job (in most cases). It's the health system not the cosmetic system....

Erases my snarky comment about not needing any input from a Switzer since we already have Rush Limbaugh to tell us all we need to know.

But yes, that would be nice to have Henry give us some real answers instead of the screaming townhallers.

But one thing to keep in mind is the balance between health care and the competitiveness of economies:
