This is coming from someone who has experience on the other side of the coin. Health care in any other country doesn't compare. It is night and day. Yes, it costs money, but you get treatment and care like no other country on this very planet.

And what of these children exactly? Maybe you can explain to me what the problem is exactly. I am more than willing to get into this conversation, trust me. We do have a problem in the west with messed up children, and maybe it is time to bring out the light.

Oh wise one - please do guide us stupid Ameicans!

I am not advocating the UK model or Canadian model. But surely as Niel says - review and change is needed in the medical system. Especially as these figures seem to indicate the US system has no advantages over its Universialist counterparts and in several cases - a clear disadvantage
