LIAR. The US health care system has FAILED the people for one very simple reason. About 35% of the money we pay in is taken out in the form of corporate profits and not returned to us in services, and the HMO's are in the business of trying to figure out how NOT to give you services and coverage. The USA is #36 in the world on health care. The best are Germany, France, the UK and Canada, among others, all with universal healthcare guaranteed by the government and paid for very efficiently. And if you've spoken to any people from those countries, they LOVE their systems. No complaints whatsoever. Smart people now avoid the US health care system altogether unless they are rich. Any place but the US is a much better deal on services, drugs, everything. If you need an operation, fly to Singapore or Bangkok. AAA service at 80% off. And Canada pays half of what we pay for the same drugs. So does the VA actually.
