Do you now anything? Have any idea how many flapper heads come to the US for medical care? Why are doctors efficient here? Because the more patients they see the more they get paid. Go to Canada and prepare to sit there all day long. Much more than here. It goes north to south. Canada the longest wait, US less wait, Mexico almost no wait. Put someone on salary and they don't care how many patients they see. I've lived in Mexico and the US and spent considerable time in Canada. You don't want their crap. There's a reason the best hospitals in the world are in the US. Plus how can you admire a country that couldn't defend itself?
Haha, I love America, the only country where you can sit and watch people argue (and vote) against their own economic interest. As someone posted before, what good is it to have a perceived advanced medical level of care when you can't afford it. As always, in American society, being an individualistic society, people align themselves along their own affordability thresholds, i.e. "screw you I got mine". The sad part though is the cluster of people who align themselves against their interest in hopes fortune will trickle down to them as a function of attitude (the kool aid drinkers i.e. everybody can be Lebron James, everybody can be a lottery winner). I personally love what they got going in in MA, where they made it illegal not to have insurance but they didn't do anything to make it affordable, so people end up back in square one, but now dodging the state coffers too, awesome thinking capitalist joe.
It's like sitting with Darwin and watching the spotted owl bang itself against a rock.."look it's trying to eat" Just hilarious. Cost of insurance in this country is retarded, healthcare should be a utility in 2008; so what if that makes the pharmaceuticals and hospital management (and the workaholic doctors) throw a tantrum. Or we can go really progressive and go back to a man, a gun and a stake and re-distribute land and wealth the old american way, that should level the playing field and be non-commie enough for ya?
"Get off this estate.
What for?
Because it is mine.
Where did you get it?
From my father.
Where did he get it?
From his father.
And where did he get it?
He fought for it.
Well, I’ll fight you for it."

Addidng health care to our other set of utilities (mail, fire,police...) doesn't seem like that bad of a compromise considering our history.....
Now back to your regular programming.
