Health care in America

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what health care in America looks like (click on the picture for legible view)
More than 50 million Americans don't have health care coverage because they can't afford it. America is ranked 37th in mortality rates, internationally. That means you are more likely to die younger in the US than 36 other nations. We are ranked worse for deaths than Costa Rica. And do you know why? Costa Rica has universal health care. How dare anyone deride the 2010 Health Care Reform Act or say we don't need it or that it's a government takeover of the health care system. What gall. What nerve.
