"The New World Order" is a well-known and totally debunked conspiracy theory, Songwronger.

You are really scraping the bottom of the septic tank now!!

Gradually--VERY gradually--the American colossus lumbers toward becoming a civilized nation.

Many European countries and a fair number of South East Asian countries have been there for some time now. E.g., a fair number of Americans fly to Thailand or other countries you might never suspect because they can get procedures like hip replacements for far less that it would cost in the U. S., done in modern hospitals by European-trained doctors, along with follow-up physical therapy, while staying in a place very much like a resort.

In fact, even when you add air fare to and from Thailand, the total bill is a good bit less than what they would have to pay in the U. S.

In France, there is a special corps of doctors who make house calls!! In many other countries, also, doctors will make house calls. Extremely rare in the U.S.

These systems are either single payer or paid for through taxes.

When a European was shaking his head over the cost of health care in the U. S., an American challenged him by saying, "But you folks pay much higher taxes than we do."

"Yes," agreed the European, "But look at what we GET for it!"

President Obama goes through Hell and High Water trying to bring a modicum of civilization to the United States—for the good of ALL its citizens—and look at how the Republicans, the Tea Party ding-bats, and characters like Songwronger and Goofus react!

Slither back into the cave, you Neanderthals!!
