Conservative Meme Crushed: Most Don't Think America Has the Best Health Care

By GottaLaff

Remember that memiest of memes the Rushpublics were tossing out there incessantly? The one that insists that America has the best health care in the whole wide world?

Dashed:

Pew Research: "According to Americans, the United States does not have the best health care in the world. Most see our health care as average (32%) or below average (27%) when compared with health care in other industrialized countries. Only 15% support the often-used political talking point that America has the best health care in the world; 23% say it is above average. Republicans (28%) are far more likely than Democrats (9%) or independents (12%) to say American health care is the best in the world, and conservative Republicans are even more pro American health care (66% say it is the best in the world or above average)."

Let's recap: Even most Rushpublics don't agree with the conservative talking points. And only 12% of independents agree with the usual line of b.s.

If our Congresspeople would pay one iota of attention to what Americans really want, we'd have a strong public option, at the very least.
