5. I'm sorry, Republicans

The "best healthcare system in the world" should not have to include donation cans sitting on liquor store counters. That's just obscene.

6. Or "charity bake sales" to help pay for an uncovered six-digit cancer bill.

That's a CRIME and a DISGRACE.

7. I asked mine why our infant mortality rate was so high if we had the best health care in the world.

He was not even aware that we ranked so low on that scale (#34 in 2011). He also didn't know that most industrialized countries had universal health care. This just adds to the evidence that most conservatives are low information voters.
