Iraqi Healthcare

According to data analyzed by various think tanks the United States of America, i.e. taxpayers like you and me, spent (or wasted) almost ONE TRILLION DOLLAR in Iraq!! Among the many "gifts" we provided was our financial and logistical support for an Iraqi constitution.
It's of interest to note that Article 31 of the Iraqi Constitution, drafted by the U.S. administration in 2005 and ratified by the Iraqi people, includes state-guaranteed (single payer) healthcare for life for every Iraqi citizen!! Article 31 reads: "First: Every citizen has the right to health care. The State shall maintain public health and provide the means of prevention and treatment by building different types of hospitals and health institutions. Second: Individuals and entities have the right to build hospitals, clinics,or private health care centers under the supervision of the State, and this shall be regulated by law."
There are other health care guarantees, including special provisions for children, the elderly, and the handicapped elsewhere in the 43-page document.
So let me make it clear: Our taxpayer money was used to draft a constitution which contains state-guaranteed healthcare for life for every citizens BUT the same rights are being denied for the very same U.S. citizen who paid for this constitution??!!
Naturally, all of our legislators enjoy guaranteed state-funded healthcare, state-guaranteed pensions, state guaranteed salaries etc. BUT the same legislators want us to believe that all state-funded activities are evil and must be cut or eliminated! Naturally, excluding those benefits they enjoy!!
Churchill once said that " The inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of misery." Maybe this is now a virtue of our democracy and our legislators want us to share the misery and allocate the benefits of freedom to those they choose.
Its up to us to let them do that.
Yours
