Swiss Cheese For Brains: Full Of Holes

No doubt you caught last Saturday’s CBS Evening News? Anchor Jeff Glor teased a story on Switzerland’s crypto-socialist health care system by wondering: "Could Switzerland’s health care be a model for America?"

He later introduced the segment by claiming that the Swiss system could be "a glimpse of what the U.S. health care system of the future might look like."

Sure, can't see any reason whatsover why the Swiss plan shouldn't work perfectly in the United States.

Well, maybe except for this teensie-weensie small problem. So tiny it's hardly worth mentioning really..
SWITZERLAND
Area
Total: 41,277 sq km
Area - comparative:
slightly less than twice the size of New Jersey


Population
7,604,467 (July 2009 est.)

UNITED STATES
Area

Total: 9,826,675 sq km

Population:
307,212,123 (July 2009 est.)
But you know what else the Swiss are famous for? The Cuckoo Clock.

And that's exactly what this idiotic idea from CBS is: CUCKOO.
