Where can we go?

A lot of Republicans today have argued that this health-care bill smacks of European socialism, or a European “nanny-state” government.

Representative Jeff Fortenberry, Republican of Nebraska, discloses that a little boy the other day asked him, “if the government gets so bad, which country should we move to?”

Umm yes, Johnny, where can we find another highly developed country which declines to provide health insurance to over ten percent of the citizens?

Oh wait...THERE AREN'T ANY!

Ok, but there must be lots of miserable citizens of "nanny states" like France. Can't we bring them over to America to testify to the horrors of life under French medical care? Errrr, no. Because the French like their system.
