In terms of health outcomes alone (empirical data, not political ideology), the US lags behind in many respects (including cost-benefit analysis). Piece-work pay for docs and medical insurance are big parts of the problem. Your reply is on point, and I’m sympathetic to your observations.

Not so today. I think the entire discussion on health care reform a joke. That people are so concerned about who will pay for their neighbors care when we are all already paying for our neighbors care is ludicrous. To have health care or not should never be the question. Every person on the planet should have it available to them. I realize that wasn't your discussion, but this whole topic is appalling. Insurance companies are a business that have NO business governing our health care. Our system is broken already, that people want to prevent a change because it might further break it is ridiculous.
