Interesting blog (Written back in 05)

Next time some idiot republican makes up some excuse why we can't afford to treat everyone or how the system would be overwhelmed by poor people you might remind them that if a developing country like Jamaica can cover everyone than so can we.

1. Don't forget Cuba too.
A poor nation, that has suffered from decades of embargoes from us and our allies and yet they are able to cover all their citizens with national health care.

2. Then they'll say, "But we have 300 million people in this country."
To them, that's the trump card that ends all discussion of the matter.
