Sorry, might of been David with that comment. I doubt it. I believe his comment was that the US medical system was the best in the world, not that everyone was insured. Anyways, Relative? Yes always. If it was 285 million without insurance it would still be a relative comment. Bangladesh's medical care is good relative to the care available anywhere in the world in 1300. And then of course a lot depends on how you measure things. In some ways the US medical system really is the best in the world, but if you measure by how many people are uninsured it gets moved down a lot. Some might say the the US medical care system is the best or close to it but its insurance system is not. But even split this way you have to choose subjective measures to measure things by. Yes you can have hard date about what you are measuring but the determination of what needs to be measured is subjective. Company's are going to start demanding people quit smoking at work and at home? Or your FIRED! Gotta love that! Unlikely. It's almost unenforceable and would have a very negative reaction from employees, not just smokers. Tim
