[quote=sdrealtor]I never said anything about being enchanted with our healthcare system. When you are sick and have to access any health care system it sucks to be in that position no matter where you are.
BTW there are no statisitcs that prove anything of the sort you claimed. We just spent the last week talking about how unhealthy a lifestyle we live in the US. You cant compare the statistics for countries where residents are more physically active and eat a diet of fresh fish, fruit, veggies and rice with one that is a fast food nation of couch potatoes. Doctors and hospitals cant make us live healthier lifestyles.[/quote]
Maybe that’s because we don’t approach health from a holistic perspective, as the Europeans are more prone to do. That holistic approach tends to exist in a sytem where health — rather than profits — is the priority of the healthcare system.
After all, with a **for-profit** healthcare system, a sick population (with chronic conditions that need to be “treated” for life, no less) is precisely what they want.
