Very true, they are selling a lie which is nothing unusual in advertising and marketing. But this lie effects your life and health. I am very biased against the US system. 21 years ago a small hospital in O.C. California, kept my father in their ward to do tests when they should of immediately sent him by helicopter. He had heart problems, he had had open heart surgery a year earlier, and the small hospital were not equipped to treat him.
The delay could of cost him his life, it did not help. My Mother was presented with a bill for the tests, she did not pay.
The problem is when you have a health system based on profit instead of curing you can run into trouble.
