Sheila Jackson Lee on Chinese Health Care
National Review Online ^ | 1/19/11 | Robert Costa

Posted on 01/19/2011 5:30:10 PM PST by Nachum

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D., Texas) made headlines this week for claiming that health-care repeal means “killing Americans.” In an exchange with National Review Online at the Capitol tonight, she used China as an example of universal coverage. From the tape: JACKSON LEE: I was with a Chinese delegation in Texas on Sunday, and one [visitor] came up to me and said, ‘What is this debate about health care? We think this is something everybody should have in China.’ That’s what this person said to me; he was baffled. Of course, their system is different. NRO: They’re communist.

China has no national health care for average citizens.

Ferociously arrogant and pathetically uninformed/misinformed.

Without the slightest hint of insight.

Sure they do! It's called take what we give you and like it or we shoot you and put an end to the matter here and now!

Yes it does, it is called take care of yourself and stay healthy. We may need your organs to sell.

***”..she used China as an example of universal coverage.****

If she ever goes into a hospital maybe her anesthetic should be little accupuncture pins.

But then, maybe she has a doll for that!

I would never defend SJL, but I’ve got to tell you, we got a half-hour exam/consult with both doctor and nurse, and three perscriptions for twenty-two dollars when we took my chinese daughter to the doctor for a nasty chest cold last year.

No, they don’t fix harelips or clubbed feet, but that office visit cost the same as my co-pay here at home.

"China has no national health care for average citizens."

This is correct, and Americans should have this echoed in their ears until they are half deaf.

Health care in China is very, very poor, and any better health care is given on preferential bases.

    The Communist Chinese health care system:
  1. Give the patient an aspirin.
  2. When you run out of aspirin, shoot the patient in the head and harvest their organs for transplants.

This is the caliber of elected officials we now have representing, or not representing us. This woman is an absolute idiot. Cavuto politely and respectfully interviewed her about the healthcare issue and she talked over him time and time again with the same garbage talking points and then insulted him by saying that it was his problem that he couldn't logically comprehend the healthcare bill.

Everyone in the US does have health care. Everyone does NOT have health insurance. Still, everyone can get care. That seems to get lost in the discussion.

Almost 300 million in China have no insurance. Funny how low the price of a doctor’s office visit will go when they know you don’t have any insurance.
