The medicine dished out by the Veterans Administration is of very low quality, from everything I read. Medicaid covers very, very poor people. There is a huge and rapidly growing number of Americans who work who still have no health insurance. Everyone pays later as people are sicker when they finally get treatment. This is a tragedy that shouldn't occur in a first world country. Bush's Medicare prescription benefit was badly designed from the articles I've read, and I seem to remember something about it benefiting large drug companies and at the same time being useless for quite a few Medicare recipients. This is not something I know a lot about, so please feel free to jump in and explain it to me. How do countries with national health insurance handle malpractice suits? I agree that something needs to be done about this. At the same time, people who are damaged by medical care should have some legal recourse, with lower caps, I think.
