"The U.S. health system spends a higher portion of its gross domestic product 16% than any other country but ranks 37 out of 191 countries according to its performance, the report finds. The United Kingdom, which spends just six percent of GDP on health services, ranks 18th"
Expenditure per capita US $7290 UK $2992
infant mortality US 6.7/100k UK 4.8/100K
Life expectancy US 78.1 UK 79.1
Please explain how private healthcare is better. Socialised medicine although it can have its faults is something for a country to be proud of.

Some people either have enough money, and don't give a shit about the less fortunate.
Some people have been brainwashed by right wing nuts and/or big corps, and continue to make decisions against their own self-interests, like mindless sheep.
Some people believe healthcare should be a privilege, and some people believe healthcare should be a right.
Some people pretend the government should not run anything, but don't say shit when half their money goes to the pentagon instead of healthcare and education.
These are the same people who would not dare speak out against social security, medicare, unemployment benefits, roadwork, public schools, safe food, child labor laws, and on and on - all government funded programs, projects, and regulations.
But hey, then you have morons posting here like The Demon, with IQ levels so low it's impossible to know what they are thinking.
Weird how every other country laughs at the US healthcare system though...
