Well when I see a man on benefits driving a car most would love. It is no wonder we spend more than we earn. Although I don't begrudge the chap, if he is unable to work. It is just economics gone crazy.

Re: Just letting you know it's all over the internet that there is no such
I always check out anything that comes to me by email or find posted on the Internet. Most of those things are quite wrong in a lot of ways. I do not pass them on to other people or share them in anyway unless I can find proof that they are correct.

Just letting you know it's all over the internet that there is no such
entity called the United Nations international health organization. The whole thing seems bogus, imho. I don't wish to be negative or critical, simply need factual information to base my believability on. Liberals/Dems make plenty of mistakes too, not that you could imagine that, lol; we all must separate the chaff from the wheat to feed truth.

Well a quick check on the net about the first part of your post reveals:
William Baldwin. who wrote an article that was published in Forbes.com which is the basis for the e mail was contacted about this - from factcheck.org -
But Baldwin’s definition of individuals “dependent on government” is stated incorrectly in the viral email as simply those on “welfare.” Baldwin wrote that, among the dependents, he included current state and local government employees, as well as former workers receiving government pensions. And he only counted Medicaid recipients as those on “welfare.”
And none of the 11 states on his list has more Medicaid recipients than workers. Also, none of the states has more recipients of other kinds of “welfare,” such as TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) or food stamps.
Baldwin told us in an interview that what he reported and what the email says “are not the same thing at all. http://www.factcheck.org/2013/01/death-spiral-states/
I don't know abut the rest of the claims, though I have been made aware that there are areas in health care where the U.S. does definitely lead, such as organ transplantation which is something I follow as a person trying/hoping to get new lungs. Problem is affording the surgery and the resultant care and medications required afterwards if you are not wealthy. Private insurance doesn't cover anything 100 percent until you have been bled dry with co-pays and out of pocket expenses; my experience with private, non Obama care insurance.
