Yes, it is critical that we see the beliefs of John Stossel. Mr. Stossel is going to interview an insurance industry executive who argues that 97% of all health claims are paid.

I’m sure everyone on this site agrees that this is the unvarnished truth. So obviously Mr. Stossel is dead on.

It’s frustrating to watch both Moore and Stossel confusing health and health care. The arguments they each make assume that people living in the country with “better” health care will live longer… when of course health care is just one of the factors that determine longevity.

How can we have a productive debate about our health care system when people on opposite sides don’t seem to understand the concepts they are discussing.

Yes, lets just keep debating incessantly on Cuba (who cares!) and never do anything about the deplorable US healthcare system.

Ask anyone in the UK, Holland, Germany, France or Canada if they would change places with us and trade healthcare. The answer is No! Enough said.
