Report: U.S. health care system is a liability
Americans spend a lot more than top countries, but arent as healthy
"A new report by the Business Roundtable says Americans in 2006 spent $1,928 per capita on health care, at least two-and-a-half times more per person than any other advanced country."
And yet I STILL have relatives that answer with "but in those countries you have to wait MONTHS to see a doctor." I'm tired of the line. No system is perfect. The real and moral costs of not creating at least a hybrid system are too high. Yes, there will be a bureaucracy created, but I deal with a private bureaucracy every time I use my health insurance card now (and with the chance that a procedure won't be approved or fully covered).

but then i found that our is also pretty strange.
i pay for my Health insurance every month and for special Health insurance every year (quite lot money)
and then every visit at the doctor is for free.. but since the begin of last year you have to pay if you visit your doctor or hospital.
and also if you paid those Health insurances, after something bad happened to you, you get the money.
so i get really few money after my car crush and operation.. so i will see after another operation if i get another money..
so i think nothing is perfect..
