and another thing... corporate power is so over the top in the USA, many other countries can do a much higher level of health care for the average Joe at a lower cost because corporations don't own most of the hospitals and don't price gouge on medications. The USA, in it's worship of the capitalist god has given so much power to the corporation and it's government lobbyists that you have to pay twice as much to get anything done.
Corporatism != capitalism. That's what the world needs to learn, giving drug companies, insurance companies and hospitals the ability to set their own inflated prices to supply shareholders with a high return has caused half of this health care mess.
