Taking Conservatives Seriously: There Are So Many Socialist, Nazi, Totalitarian Regimes in the World

I never knew there were so many socialist, Nazi, totalitarian countries. After listening to conservatives discuss healthcare reform, my eyes have been opened to the fact that the United States is about the only place on the planet without a socialist, Nazi healthcare system. Even Israel has become a Nazi nation. Thanks, Tea Party movement. Your knowledge of world economies is stupendous!

Applying the Tea Party "logic," here is a list of socialist, Nazi, totalitarian regimes (i.e., countries with universal healthcare). Many of these countries use single-payer systems. Shockingly, many of these countries are also allies of the United States. Why is the United States friends with so many "evil" countries?

Argentina
Australia
Austria
Bahrain
Belgium
Brazil
Brunei
Canada
Cuba
Cyprus
Denmark
Finland
France
Germany
Greece
Hong Kong
Iceland
Ireland
Israel
Italy
Japan
Kuwait
Luxembourg
Mexico
Netherlands
New Zealand
Norway
Poland
Portugal
Russia
Saudi Arabia
Seychelles
Singapore
Slovenia
South Africa
South Korea
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland
Taiwan
Thailand
United Arab Emirates
United Kingdom

There are a lot of articles on this issue. I used many different sites to compile this list. Here are links to two of the more helpful ones:
