Ellison mentions that the US is 37th among industrialized countries for its health-care system
Please. I’d love to see what went into the rankings. The US healthcare system is responsible for countless breakthoughs and advances over the years. People from those other 36 countries come here for treatment, they come here to study in our universities, they come here to work in our labs, hospitals and research centers. Our doctors also travel the world. I’d also add that many of those breakthroughs are the direct result of charitable contributions to places like The Dana Farber Institute (I mention that because it’s local, and the Jimmy Fund is one of only 3 charities I give to anymore). Gee, aren’t the Dems also trying to hamstring charities? I dislike these people.

And BTW, if you factor out deaths due to inner city violence and car crashes, we'd be #1 in life expectancies. The Dems clearly own the former -- they have governed the inner cities for decades -- and the latter is arguable a side-effect of geography and affluence. And it isn't the conservatives that want loose drunk driving laws...
