"The Europeans paid higher taxes. "

Americans are very irrational when it comes to paying taxes. The mind-games
propaganda sent out like a firehose have brainwashed Americans into
believing we are highly, oppressively taxed. In comparison to the past 60-70 years,
we are most definitely not taxed in a stifling manner.

If Americans could wrap their heads around taking all of the money they pay for their health insurance ( premiums and co-pays ), and used those funds to pay into a national healthcare system, they might start to realize that national health care is a better solution for the majority of citizens, in comparison to this mess we currently live with. And if all of the healthcare premiums and co-pays went to a national healthcare system instead of private insurers, then it might not be additive to the deficit, which is 1 of the 1st talking points the lobbyists spit out.

Americans quite possibly have some very tough consequences to deal with, as
a result of what they allow themselves to believe, and how they vote.
