Response to France vs US per capita debt

from Dalip S. Jawanda (djawand@hotmail.com)
I agree, the united states healthcare is the best in the world.... provided that you have a great income and don't suffer any serious disability that would keep you from getting health insurance.... hmm so that means that the healthy and rich can get access to the best healthcare system in the world, yet the poor and sick can go to "free" clinics and be lucky if anyone cares. I guess that's survival of the fitest... Isn't it?

I can't believe you can state that the united states has the best healthcare system in the world. The united states healthcare system is great, for those with money. I believe i heard that as many as 30% of americans don't have health insurance, and can't get it. What about them? I think they too should be as "fortunate" as us to experience the "worlds best healthcare system". We put less money into healthcare than the rest of the G7 countries on a per capita basis. Instead we'll spend $17,000 on a missile to drop on someone in the middle of nowhere. Having the greatest GDP in the world doesn't mean much when the average person can't take advantage of it. When our average quality of life is lower than that of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, the Icelandic countries and so on (as rated by the United Nations) I think we really have to look hard at ourselves.
