Yes you are correct, there are tens of millions without health insurance. And you are correct, the costs are out of sight. And maybe the passage of the new bankruptcy law will change everything.

But right now, even if one doesn't have insurance, one can get health care - even for life threatening conditions. If one has to go so deeply in debt that bankruptcy results, that's bad, but it's not the end of the world. Millions of Americans declare bankruptcy and put their lives back together. I'm sure everyone on this thread knows someone who has declared bankruptcy for more trivial reasons than health costs. And if one is truly poor, the government will pay. Once again, the new laws may change everything.

My major point, is that WHO statistics are deceptive.
