Oops! Sorry little guy, Obama screws you again.

Yes, it's true... unfortunately because the health care systems are so flooded much of the time people who go to the hospital or emergency room aren't able to actually see a doctor but have to been seen by other medical personnel. Sad but true...

Way to cherry pick the comments you think you can refute, yet ignore all the one's you can't refute.. Don't worry it's not REALLY obvious or anything... LOL!!!!

Doctor's visits per capita:

US 8.9

Canada 6.3

UK 4.9

Quote from Eight:

This BigDave guy has been annoying me for a long time.. I'm just now realizing what a dumb bastard he really is... and that via quotes only since I had to hit the ignore button on the guy to improve the ET signal to noise ratio...

I used to listen to shortwave broadcasts from Cuba. In the 1980's they were talking about sending people out into the countryside to find "alternate food".. they were talking about turning rocks over and eating grubs... and this vociferous moron, BigDave is telling people that Cuba is a good place to live...

Oh he's not dumb. You may not like his politics, but he's not dumb.

Hilariously wrong. Nurse practitioners are more unusual in Canada than the US, and actually people in the US often get diverted to NP's rather than doctors.

In fact, you have it entirely, 100% backwards. Why am I not surprised?

Thank you, that's very kind.

My favorite magazine is the Economist, so that should tell you about my politics. At the same time I've noticed a enormous tendency recently of the, errr, not-very-bright to develop an interest in the political scene and to believe they understand it. Reality is often much more complex than the blanket statements, cliche's and slogans they are fed from all sides.
 
Ehh, he kind of is... When he's proven wrong, he tries to change the subject in hopes that no one catches the fact that he's proven wrong. Until you prove him wrong on the next point, he then ignores or evades addressing that and moves on to the next diversion. Rinse repeat.

That's not a debating tactic of a terribly bright person. Maybe not "stupid", but not bright either...

Partially right, NPs are more rare in Canada than in the usa, moreso in Europe. However, most people don't even get to see one of those most of the time, much less an actual doctor. Sad but true.

Also, another misleading fact of yours. Your "doctor visits per captia" stat doesn't include hospital visits. Most people in Europe and Canada rarely go to the actual doctor, but rather just show up in the Emergency room. Your stat refers to actual doctor visits.

Guess Ric will hold his position regarding dave's intelligence?? Hell he's already described China as "humane" and tried to tell us that cuba has a good standard of living, why not go all the way and try to convince us that dave is smart!!! ROFLMAO!!!! :D :D :D

LMAO!!!!! For 10 pages, this dumbass has been ranting against laissez faire capitalism, then turns and says you should be able to tell about his politics from his favorite magaizine ( after he speaks out against cliches and slogans in the same breath!!) only to THEN say that this favorite magazine is the economist of course, and i quote: ", the newspaper The Economist was founded, and became an influential voice for laissez-faire capitalism"... exactly what he's been ranting against for 10 pages!!! LOL!!! LOL!!! LOL!! LOL!!!

THEN Ricter starts talking about how intelligent he is... ROFLMAO


Are you guys politicians or something??? You clowns are priceless!!

Sad, false, nonsense as I've already cited for your perusal.

And what's the percentage of rural electrification in Cuba, now that you've been told it?

And do you now understand what a standard of living measure is and how it's not GNI?

And do you understand that Canadians and the citizens of the UK do not visit the doctor in any greater numbers than in the US, and probably even less, and that they rarely get shuffled to non-doctors?

Also, another misleading fact of yours. Your "doctor visits per captia" stat doesn't include hospital visits. Most people in Europe and Canada rarely go to the actual doctor, but rather just show up in the Emergency room. Your stat refers to actual doctor visits.

Oh brother. "Yes, what I posted was absolutely false, but look at me waving my arms!"

You would have convinced me that you're not crazy if only you'd gone for the fifth "LOL." So very close! :)

Better luck next time.
 
Right. And a resident of Miami I know nothing about Cuba. I talk to more Cubans each day than you'll speak to in your lifetime.


Quote from bigdavediode:

Spoken like someone who knows zero about Cuba, has never been there, and knows nothing except what he's told on Fox News.
