I agree, it is very odd. The statement that nationalized health care doesn't work anywhere is a ridiculous blanket statement. I guess if you definition of "works" is a 100% perfect system with no flaws and no downsides than, yes, nationalized heath care is a disaster. If you would be satified with a system that is pretty da*n good, however, (where everyone is covered, nobody goes bankrupt from medical bills, and we aren't spending upwards of 25% of our GDP on healthcare when 50 million of us don't even have insurance, etc.) we should take a few notes from France, Germany, and Taiwan.
