<<The American health care system is expensive and unsatisfactory, and we do not get our dollar's worth, that is true, but the fault lies with politicians and bureaucrats, rather than with the scientific potential>>

I agree, but his argument was that the system isn't expensive, which I (obviously) disagree with. Solid advancements have been made in drugs, biotech, devices, imaging and transplant science over the last 20 years, without a doubt. What American medicine does poorly is find a way to use these advances with some degree of efficiency and any sense of technical restraint. The legal influence on medicine does not help one bit, either.....
