Really? The current U.S. health care system is the best, not only in the world, but in the history of the world?


Of course it is. People who understand the issues know this.

Now, there are those who don't know shit from shinola about it, who believe that you measure health care based on, for example, average lifespans. Those guys may have a different view.

That obviously doesn't mean it is perfect or can't be improved. But it does strongly suggest that changes must be small and incremental, since no other country on earth has been able to replicate the success of the American system to date. So, any major change is more likely to muck up the works of a delicate balance than it is to solve any problem.
