Swedish health care, anyone?

David Hogberg, Ph.D., wrote an article in May, 2007 about Swedish health care entitled: "Sweden's Single Payer Health System Provides a Warning to Other Nations." After years of "universal health care" (what the Democrats want to implement), by 1988 it took eleven months to get a heart x-ray. Eventually Sweden began to move toward more private-run health care, but then slipped back into their old socialist ways. "A recent study that examined over 5,800 Swedish patients on a wait list for heart surgery found that the long wait has consequences far worse than pain, anxiety or monetary cost. In this study, the median wait time was found to be 55 days. While on the waiting list, 77 patients died."

Boy, I can't wait to get some Swedish style "universal health care" here in America.
