Hillary's attack on universal healthcare based on unicorn analysis.
"It's indisputable that single-payer systems in other countries cover everyone for virtually everything, and at much lower cost than our health care system," Woolhandler said. "Experience in countries with single-payer systems, such as Canada, Scotland, and Taiwan, proves that we can have more, better and cheaper care."
For example, "if the U.S. moved to a single-payer system as efficient as Canada's, we'd save $430 billion on useless paperwork and insurance companies' outrageous profits, more than enough to cover the 31 million Americans who remain uninsured, and to eliminate co-payments and deductibles for everyone," she said.
In January, Woolhandler and her colleague Dr. David Himmelstein authored a response to Thorpe's analysis that found it to be based on "several incorrect, and occasionally outlandish, assumptions," including "administrative savings of only 4.7 percent of expenditures" and "huge increases in the utilization of care, increases far beyond those that were seen when national health insurance was implemented in Canada, and much larger than is possible given the supply of doctors and hospital beds."
"Moreover, it is at odds with analyses of the costs of single-payer programs that he produced in the past, which projected large savings from such reform," the professors wrote.

First of all the body language she tried to analyze could not be translated because animals don't have much of a grasp on math, let alone mythical creatures (which I hate to tell her like I would hate to tell any child about the Easter bunny, or Santa) simply don't exist! Unicorns don't exist Hillary!
One must use math, I suspect she failed math or forgot to hire anyone that understood math to help her, or she never even bothered to look into a system where people should have a better system than we do because it would mean that corporations that give her a shit ton of money might not make a shit ton times a thousand more than they even give her! (yes Virginia, some people not only believe that unicorns exist but that corporations are people, and not just any people, superior ones more important than the real ones).
She did not look at it at all, or she only looked at it through the lens that tells her how much money her corporate donors can rake in on our health, our dying due to lack of it, and our suffering due to illnesses we unlike her set can often afford to have taken care of. I guess it is better to believe in unicorns, at least if they existed they might care more about people than those that get rich off of the suffering off others.
Now I am sad
