OT: Interesting Global Health Care Graph

[briansd1]

[quote=sdrealtor]Did you just jump party lines?[/quote]

Not all all.

I still believe in universal health care, especially basic preventive care for everyone in America.

But I also believe in health care rationing and means testing. Those who want the best health care can pay for it out of pocket.

Universal basic health care and and cutting costs (lowering the share of GPD health care consumes) are not mutually exclusive, IMHO.

That graph is very distressing.

Health care costs in the US are out of control… and despite having what’s perceived as the best medical care in the world – the results aren’t showing that.

Perceived as…..

According to the World Heath Organization, based on the most recent survey they’ve done, the US ranks 37th.

I’m not disputing your claim about the perception. I think you’re accurate. That perception, however, is clearly wrong. Our system is irreparably broken.

I know several doctors that work internationally and spend time in those higher ranked systems. They wouldnt agree with our system not having the best medical care in the world. Alot of it has to do with the lifestyle people live in these countries. Many of these countries citizen’s subsist on diets with far more fresh fish, fruits and vegatables than we eat in the US. They also lead more active lives than we do. The average american lives are far more unhealthy lifestyle and places a bigger burden on the health care system here. When the leaders of those countries get sick, where do you think they go for medical care?
