The US medical system creates up 99% of all innovation in medicine. The rest of the world (especially canada) benefits from taking the latest US techniques and using them. WE have the greatest healthcare system in the world.
The government is tearing it apart so it can take control of it and further enslave people to its will. Obamacare will not (according to CBO numbers) get any more people covered than before it was implemented.
Oh, and when you do a search on medical wait times, all of the socialized medicine countries pop up in the results. the US does not. We can pretend wait times don't matter but here in the US, I can make a same day appointment to see my doctor. If he wants a cat scan, MRI, ext. I can get it the same day or next day.
Politicians won't tackle tort reform because most of them are lawyers and their constituency is made up of bottom feeders looking for a payday, not doctors or other intelligent people.
The US system has its problems but its still 1000 times better than what's going on in canada.
