Then one would expect "the most abundant of cutting edge technologies" to translate into America ranking 1st in terms of average life expectancy - instead of 49th (according to the 2010 CIA World Factbook).Red herring, Old Dickweed.Ah yes, let us just keep everything the same and let the Insurance companies make the decisions. Then we can pay three times as much for even less care than the citizens of the rest of the industrialized nations are getting.
Also, Americans pay more because we use more and have have the most abundant of cutting edge technologies, thereby giving us better value for the dollar.
Having this "medical expertise" and actually making it available/affordable to the average citizen in a timely matter are 2 different issues and goes to the very heart of the America's healthcare problem.
Only a conservatives, like "Revere," would have the audacity to summarily dismiss as "junk" statistics anything that doesn't support his case - and then sit back and make absolutely no effort to do the necessary resesearch to provide his own!
