U.S. ranks 25th in life expectancy while we pay the MOST for health care

And so do the Dems. All politicians care about is themselves and getting re-elected. If you think any of them truly give a shit about you or the poor or middle class (other than telling you what you want to hear to get your vote) you are being foolish.

Not quite.
There is one party who has argued that it is more important to keep tax rates for millionaires at historic lows, than it is to pay unemployment benefits, to provide kids opportunities for student loans, to fix infrastructure, to invest in jobs programs, etc.
I'm no fan of politicians either, but clearly there is no equivalence between parties when talking about who is working more for average Americans, and who is working for the elite.

Redsam couldn't have said it better.

Mr. Db -- this is exactly what you sound like when you go into denial.

LOL. I don't know redsam is but maybe you'd have better luck debating him.
Your attempt at diversion with the NLRB didn't work and your assertion was wrong. Ok, you obviously can't defend that one so lets move on

We could probably start by trying to be competitive with the rest of the world.

Right now, we aren't.

1) lib #1 makes outlandish claim.

2) conservative points it out with facts and references.

3) lib #2 defends him by cut-and-paste of irrelevant talking points from DNC web site.

At least you guys are consistent.

Ha ha, exactly!
Ok Mr. Plunkey, I thought you were ready for battle, but you have no bullets in your gun!

Back to healthcare, this is the opening paragraph from the 2009 report to congress;

U.S. Health Care Spending:​

Comparison with Other OECD Countries

The United States spends more money on health care than any other country in
the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The OECD
consists of 30 democracies, most of which are considered the most economically
advanced countries in the world. According to OECD data, the United States spent
$6,102 per capita on health care in 2004 — more than double the OECD average and
19.9% more than Luxembourg, the second-highest spending country. In 2004, 15.3%
of the U.S. economy was devoted to health care, compared with 8.9% in the average​

OECD country and 11.6% in second-placed Switzerland.
