>> She went to Helsinki and that proves that the US system is better? What evidence is there that any other country's health care is as good as that in the US? I've repeatedly explained to you how things are better here. But you've never been able to explain how any other country has better health care than we do. So, how about you explain that?

No0, those guys in Helsinki are right now at the vantage of hip syntheis technology. That may be important to younger patients in particular, when you know that a 'traditional' hip replacement may not last more than 10-15 years and typically only one re operation possible. Do your own math, a traffic, motor bike or ski accident taking you out of biz at 27 years, the traditional hip replacement op would give you just another 10-20 years max of normal life based on traditional cut medical technology.
