All the industrialized nations of the world provide this vital health care at FAR less per capita that we do. In fact, last year we passed 15% of our GDP in health care expense alone ... and we do NOT lead the world in outcomes or in life expectancy or in birth survival.


Thus, the only rational question is why we spend nearly twice as much per person to achieve less - and how quickly we can alter our system to more closely approximate THEIR systems. Our medical care system is a failed experiment in any economic analysis. Let us admit that and move on.

As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.  - Voltaire
