You are too literal. And even if that was the case, of you "not" being too literal, and if these supposed countries (which of course he doesn't know where or who they are) are not "better" than the USA, then why are we trying to change it?Your comment makes no sense. Obama is not proposing to change the US Healthcare system to be a single payer system. The sentence "there are some countries where a single payer system works pretty well" does not imply that it would work pretty well in the US. Conditions are different in the US than they are in the countries where it does work pretty well, like France and the Netherlands. But that doesn't make the sentence false. |
