I just got time to read Jan 30 Bridgton paper; this is one of Maine's best small town papers which publishes both sides of the aisle although with new ownership it may list a little more to the right. what prompted me to put this in was the vote to refund the 40 million with enough votes to override the extremists right wing group propped up by outside influence~the article is written by "Mike Corrigan" and the title is Doctor, I have this pain, right about Texas! here's a few excerpts that the heritage group and our Gov. are definitely unaware of: We pay more per capita($8508) on healthcare than any other of the 36 nations used to establish cost yea we're #1 suckers ! our life span is 78; france pays ($4118) their life expectancy is 82 years
I'M NOT GOING INTO IT ALL BUT THE MOST EFFICENT HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM IN THE WORLD IS AMONG PUBLIC HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS IS(MEDICARE ,MEDICAID)(WE ALSO BOAST THE ONLY POLITCIAL PARTY IN THE WESTERN WORLD ON RECORD ON RECORD AGAINST NATIONAL HEALTHCARE: THOSE EFFICENCY EXPERTS, THE REPUBLICANS! GOD I HOPE THAT VOTE SENT A MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE OF MAINE! EVERY TIME YOU HEAR A RAND PAUL, A RICK PERRY OR A HERITAGE PUPPET SAY DIFFERENT QUOTE THIS CAUSE IT PASSED THE POLITCAL CHECK LIST!
THE OTHER THING THE MOST SUCCESFUL NATIONS HAVE THE LOWEST POVERTY -THEY DON'T CUT HEAD START-THE WICK PRORAM -WE RATE #2 FROM THE BOTTOM ! MEXICO IS #1 -WE HAVE 22,2% OF OUR CHILDREN LIVING IN POVERTY,MEXICO HAS 26.2% -FINLAND AND NORWAY IS 4.2% AND 3.9% AND THEIR SCHOOL GRADES EXCEL COMPARED TO OURS!
DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR CHECK THIS STUFF OUT-ALEC,HERITAGE,AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY NONE OF THESE GROUPS ARE FOR THE WORKER!

1. This is extremely important info. I looked online but couldn't find a web site. Will you please

ask the paper for permission to reprint the story here on DU? Thanks again.


Many of the stats can be found in the OECD report, but it's a little more difficult to go through than just the story in the paper.

Also to note, while both US men and women have lower life expectancies than the OECD average, women fare much worse than their male counterparts.
