They say on TV that U.S. is the best in the world and try to make you feel all good and happy . Yet the healthcare program is bad. From overpaid doctors to no healthcare for the poor.

U.S citizens get taxed on almost everything. Where does that money go besides shooting chimps in space ?

It is a false propaganda that American Doctors are the best and most of them are of ethnic Origin What about Doctors In England,India China,Russia Cuba and for that matter rest of the world .A Doctor is a Doctor They are educated the same way all around the World.May be Hospitals have more equipment in USA but what it has to do with the Doctors.
The truth of matter is Dirty Politics and insurance Industry and Greedy Health care system and personals.They do not want to serve the poor.Cuba is a very poor country yet it has got the highest per capita number of Doctors and other Health care workersin the World.And they have Universal health care which is free.

National Health care is estimated to cost American tax payers 339 billion dollars per year. Imagine the tax hike that would incur.
For all that tax money, we would buy surprisingly little health care.
The one common characteristic of all national health care systems is a shortage of services. For example, in Great Britain, a country with a population of only 55 million, more than 800,000 patients are waiting for surgery. In New Zealand, a country with a population of just 3 million, the surgery waiting list now exceeds 50,000. In Sweden the wait for heart x-rays is more than 11 months. Heart surgery can take an additional 8 months. In Canada the wait for hip replacement surgery is nearly 10 months; for a mammogram, 2.5 months; for a pap smear, 5 months. Surgeons in Canada report that, for heart patients, the danger of dying on the waiting list now exceeds the danger of dying on the operating table. According to Alice Baumgart, president of the Canadian Nurses Association, emergency rooms are so overcrowded that patients awaiting treatment frequently line the corridors.
This is just a few of the follies we would face. I see some people parising theses countiy's health care systems, yet they really don't know much about them and what really happens.
In the end, we lose money and health care we could have gotten in an emergency room. National health care is not for us....
One more thing....we have the best specialists in the world. We are the best...and it is because we are not a "National System" that we accel.

The US has the best Dr's and most up to date equipment in the world. Other countries have National Health Care systems--it's paid for through tax dollars and some procedures are paid for by the patient and some things are partially covered by their private health insurance policies. The insurance costs are in the range of $3-500.00 per year. Everyone in these countries are treated equally--no one is refused treatment because they can't pay.Yes there is wait times--but I believe it's a small price to pay given the alternative. Emergencies and serious conditions are treated immediately. It's a kinder and fairer system in my view with no one left behind or left destitute after one hospital admission or procedure.

Why does everyone with the ability come to the U.S to get medical attention? Why do we have the best specialist and emergency people in the world? Why do you think our doctors make the money they make? THEY ARE THE BEST! I'll take a percentage of the people not having health insurance to know that the rest of us who do will get the best care from the best physicians in the world. One common misconception is that one needs to be rich to have health insurance. Well that just simply is not true. I am by no means rich or even wealthy, and yet I can somehow find a way to pay my health insurance bill every month. Also, I hate to say it, but health care is a privelege not a right. You have to pay to play. Thanks and have a nice day.

US 'toddler mortality' is inflated by making use of counting relatively untimely births as 'stay.' In much less obsessive societies, they are not getting a premies coronary heart beating for a couple of minutes, then call it a stay start w/toddler mortality, they call it stillborn, and it is not counted as toddler mortality. The technologies used to maintain in simple terms approximately non-accessible babies alive are what's brought about the upward push in 'toddler mortality,' by making use of the comparable token, the form of 'nonetheless births' has have been given to be way down. yet in simple terms alarming statistics are nicely worth reporting.

Actually we have the best healthcare in the world. What we don't have is a national system which provides for availability of this wonderful care to everyone.

Why do politicians from other countries come here for their health care if it is not the best.

The US is run by money, and has been at it's worst for the past 7 years. Unless someone rich needs healthcare - the politicians do not care.

Blame the insurance system and capitalism in general for a profit motivated health care system.
