John, I am well aware of the many anecdotes about socialized medical systems versus the US. Of course, there are countless other anecdotes about uninsured dying form lack of health care within view of US hospitals. An objective way to look at things are broad health care statistics. Take a look at them here: cia.gov We are unfortunately consistently lagging other developed countries in those broad health statistics like infant mortality, and longevity. Even many countries with half or less our per capita income have better health statistics than us. And we spend almost twice more per capita than other developed countries. It's a damn shame.
