There is no doubt that quality of health care in the U.S. is top notch, but there are some serious problems, even for middle class people with good jobs who have health insurance. The main problem being that many people get denied coverage for their legitimate illnesses by their supposedly solid health insurance company and wind up going bankrupt or dying. And all because in our system, the insurance company just denies policy claims, citing pre-existing conditions or some other technical excuse as a matter of course, just to play games with people and save money. They system is such that the health insurance companies rely on the fact that many people will give up pressing their wrongly denied claims or die off before they have to pay. When that happens- and it's an everyday thing nowadays- it's tantamount to murder in my opinion.
