Bush Thinks American Health Care System is "Fabulous"! For Who?

As further proof that Bush is delusional, he made the patently false statement that America’s health care system is "fabulous" when compared to others around the world. Now normally I would give the Commander in Chief props for using the term "fabulous" but today not so much.

In reality, our health care system ranks 37th out of 191 countries ranked by the World Health Organization. That puts us just below Costa Rica and just above Slovenia and Cuba. This in spite of the fact that the US spends more than anyone on health care. And remember this comment is coming from a man who has free government health care!

So Mr. Bush, I am one of those folks who can’t get insurance privately. Now tell me just how frigging great the system we have is!
