It is the prime reason the WHO finds our system 37th in the world. Considering the obvious major faults in their methodology it would seem that WHO finds our system 37th in the world because they wanted to create a standard by which we would do poorly.

If you wish to read the header you will clearly see that that assertion is refuted: It is the prime reason the WHO finds our system 37th in the world. If you don't care to be informed prior to posting then how do you expect to be respected by those who are?

What do you mean "what does that prove", it is evidence that had Canada's system worked at all, the Prime Minister would NOT have come to the USA for his surgery. There are many other instances of the same thing happening they just do not get the headlines. But let's see...hmmm....I sure don't know many in the USA that go to Canada for care....hmmm... Your South Africa example is a bad example, totally different time and circumstance. Nice try though. I am for change...better change than the socialist o'bama is offering. How about tort reform, cross state policies, stop the free flow of illegal aliens coming to USA to have free babies that are automatically US citizens. Force the senate and house to live with the same policies that the rest of us have. Forget thinking that you have to let the inept government take over the healthcare industry. 85% are happy.
