Classe move to China

It is not completely screwed up yet but probably getting there. Also, it seems to vary from region to region. I used to live in New Hampshire and now live in New York City area. Basically same insurance plan, but try to find a good doctor in New Hampshire. Difficult. In New York area it can easily be done though you do need to know where to look and how to assess.

One of the important statistics is infant mortality rate.

Please notice where we are. Many says that gov. run healthcare would not work but it does in Europe, it does for our Veterans and seems to be appreciated by our Congress.

Another interesting point is that our healthcare cost twice more per person than most European countries:

Kijanki,

Nice point about our VA. It is the highest rated health coverage we've got and it's totally SOCIALIST in operation. Government owned, staffed and operated.

When Medicare Part D is privatized, increasing our seniors costs while limiting coverage and when it was written into the law that we cannot use our collective buying power to lower the cost of medicine like they do with the VA, shouldn't it be obvious to anyone what is going on?

We have among the worst results of all industrial nations in practically all measures and pay 2-3 time as much as other nations. Does the word "scam" come to mind? Anyone? Bueller? Just because it's a UN study doesn't cheapen it's veracity. It was a purely statistical analysis done with all the available data.
