How do Conservatives Ignore the Truth?

We are puzzled. We are truly scratching our heads. Liberals can't figure conservatives out. Today on the radio, one of those right wing talkers actually said, "America has the best health care system in the world."

This is what we can't figure out. It is clear that America does NOT have the best health care system in the world for a variety of reasons. It is easy to demonstrate that America has a lousy, very bad health care system.

• Seven out of ten bankruptcies in this country happen because of catastrophic health care costs. And millions of people are going bankrupt and losing their homes because health care costs zero out their resources.

•  Insurance companies are screwing us to the tune of billions of dollars. They make their profits denying health care. Their CEOs take home millions in compensation. That is because their CEOs are psychopaths willing to let people die in order to post huge profits. Health insurance companies are not in the business of health. They are in the business of making money and satisfying their shareholders. And that is a conflict of interest. This fact is obvious, but conservatives can't see it. Why?

• Fifty million Americans have no health insurance. This means they have no access to "the best health care system in the world," unless they go to an emergency room, the most expensive public option there is. And emergency rooms don't treat for chronic illnesses like heart disease or cancer. Millions of adults and children have little or no regular health care.

• Right now in Inglewood, California, near LAX, a volunteer health care organization, Remote Area Medical is providing thousands and thousands of people free health care. RAM has transformed the Forum into the largest free clinic in the world. These people are desperate for health care in the country that has "the best health care system in the world."

Why can't conservatives see what is so obvious? Our health care system is broken. It doesn't work.
When a conservative's car stops running and smoke is coming out from under the hood, do conservatives think it is going to take them to work anyway? Do they sit behind the wheel and go "vroooom vrooom" and work their turn signals?

And now it appears that the loudest and angriest of these people have forced the administration to scale back health care reform. It's insane.

I would like to hear from any conservative who can explain to me his or her disconnect. That ought to be fun.
