The conclusion isn't new, it's just been reiterated by a new study.

Once again that's the sobering conclusion of the 2010 version of the annual Commonwealth Fund comparison of the U.S. health system with those in other industrialized nations.

Although by this point I suppose it does have a bit of a "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead" feel to it.

USA gets the least? I really don't buy that.

Is it worse than in North Korea or the Congo?

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Yes, we do pay the most. No, we don't get the least. But no, we aren't getting the best value for our money. Yes, it can be improved. No, the health care deform passed by the Democrats won't improve anything.

Ho Bama Care is going to save us all and reinvent health care in this country. The price of chickens will go way up because they will be needed for all the voodoo medicine that is going to be happening.

Americans pay more because so many of them have a third party pay the bill.

If someone else you don't know is buying your lunch, do you really care how much they pay for it?

And you just made the argument for why we need to cut out insurance companies all together. Welcome to the realm of logic and rational thought.
