Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) on Wednesday blamed America’s size, diversity and “inner cities” for its lack of universal health care.
The justification came in an exchange with MSNBC’s Ali Velshi over universal health care.
Velshi presented Walsh with data (http://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/fund-reports/2014/jun/mirror-mirror) that the U.S. health care system ranks last among 11 wealthy nations, all the rest of which had universal health care.
“You can’t compare the rest of the world to us,” Walsh replied. “They do not have the big diverse populations that we have. They do not have the inner-city populations that we have.”
Later, when Velshi brought up the point again — that the United States ranks poorly in life expectancy, access to care and a variety of other measures — Walsh again brought up diversity.
“I love you, my friend, but you cannot — Sweden does not have our inner-city population,” he said.
“Norway, these countries do not have — you’re talking about countries the size of India with homogenous populations, Ali.
You can’t compare them to what we have!”
Velshi brought up Canada, more diverse than the United States and with better health outcomes.
Many nations with universal health care are more ethnically diverse (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2013/05/16/a-revealing-map-of-the-worlds-most-and-least-ethnically-diverse-countries/) than the United States.

With the Repugs and their voters, it's ALL ABOUT THE KNITTERS aka "inner city, urban, etc"
Repug white voters ain't never gonna help the knitters.
