why did you ignore ireland in posting. these are examples. my niece pays for private insurance in order to make sure her three children have access to health care in that country. my point article was full of air............... i am sure if we address each country we will find more negatives vs positives on health care.

And I wonder what system actually 'kills' the most... Regards, John "The broader problem is this: Our broken system leads Americans to spend 16 percent of our national income on health care, twice as much as in parts of Europe, yet with maternal mortality rates and child mortality rates twice those of the best-performing countries. Lack of insurance is linked to nearly 45,000 unnecessary deaths a year, according to a peer-reviewed study to be published in the December issue of The American Journal of Public Health."
