Congressman Murtha died in one of the best US hospitals last week, when doctors doing a routine laparoscopic surgery nicked his intestines and caused massive infection. There are horror anecdotes galore in the US health care system. US hospitals are tops in the world in superbug infections, because our wonderful system so generously (to its pockets) dispenses antibiotics, procedures, etc. mostly where they are not needed. Sometimes less health care is the best health care. The two year life expectancy advantage that NZ has over the US is nothing to sneeze at. You ought to give more weight to hard statistical facts.
