Snookered real bad, of 18 industrialized countries US is last or 18th in average healthy life expectancy , but is first in per capita health expenditures and first by a long shot in health expenditures as a % of GDP. This says it all and most of the BS on the media is not addressing these or related points which clearly show our health care system in crisis. I hate to say it but it is in large measure because we treat patients too much like profit centers. Why, pray tell, should so many people in the health care field make millions of dollars a year. Our main problem is what I call entrepreneural medicine, all the rest of the issues stem from this approach to health care in our country. Business is great and has made our country strong; but we need to treat people for outcomes not to make money.
