Right? Yeah, right. That's why I'm left with cervical cancer to die while being uninsured. There are classes in this country other than the rich, son.

He just hopes we'll take his word for it by claiming repeatedly that it's a "matter of record." Now that's infantile posturing. Oh, and the reason I posted that Marx Brown comment is because it's more effective to mock willfully ignorant fools than it is to try to reason with them.

Now I'm not going to bother posting evidence that the medical error and denial of care rates in the US are much higher - you know that. And David, this is my last comment, as you're clearly only interested in infantile posturing. Let me know if you want intelligent lifeforms here and I'll return.

I don't need to provide any evidence or examples. It's an absolute matter of record! These sorts of things happen in America all the time. I don’t need to provide any evidence or examples.
