BUSHBOTS & HEALTHCARE

Kevin Drum makes a good point about one of the obstacles in the way of healthcare reform:

It's always struck me that one of the big obstacles in the way of universal healthcare in America is that it's so easy to scare Americans about healthcare in other countries. Basically, Americans just have no clue what healthcare is like elsewhere and assume that, say, in France, it's only barely better than it is in the third world.


There's also the problem of the BushBots hyper-nationalism. For them, anyone who suggests that we aren't #1 in almost any area is tantamount to being at best an un-American fool.
