You are just blindly stating opinions that are based on nothing more then, and forgive me for being harsh, dumb patriotic loyalty. It doesn't make you any less of an American to say that we are not number one at something. Here are the real facts....
According to the WHO, The United States ranks 37th in the world in health care. Interestingly enough, Cuba, a nation that has lived under US embargo for the past 50 years, ranks only two places behind us at 39. This is a place that has had no internet, and people are still driving around cars from the 50's.
Another interesting fact...almost every single country ranked in the top 26 have universal health care. That is a pretty fucking sobering fact right there. FREE fucking health care.
Another interesting fact. Although we are ranked 37th, we are ranked number 1 in per capita expenditure. Where the fuck does all that money go? Straight into the pockets of politicians and the CEOs of health insurance companies. Let us also not forget about the doctors who rape the system every fucking day, over billing and working the system.
Tell me, how in the fuck does a man who was the head of a health insurance company, that was convicted of defrauding the government, and made to pay 1.7 billion dollars in fines (at the time, the largest case of fraud in US history), get to be the governor of one of the most heavily populated states in the country?
Ill tell you how....
dumb and blind patriotic loyalty.
Marinate on that for a bit.
