    @m3t00 I absolutely don't disagree regarding profits, but statistically for acute conditions the United States does have better outcomes on average essentially across the board.

    The United States falling behind on average life expectancy or deaths from treatable causes per 100,000 being higher indicates a lack of widespread access to healthcare.

    However, the better outcomes for healthcare received indicates that quality of the actual care tends to be the same, or better, or faster; and the very high consumer spending power indicates to me that people are not really hurting for money here.

    18.7% 30-day mortality rate after admission for brain stroke in America compared to 22.7% in Europe, 5.2% versus 5.5% for heart attack, and 4.5% versus 6.9% for blood clot

    quality health care providers with good educations make the difference. dealing with insurance red-tape, documentation, makes their job much more tedious and doesn't contribute to health care. I'd like to see medical groups cut out the middle-men and offer care while collecting the premiums directly from people. insurance has it's places. just not in general health care. let the providers buy insurance to cover extraordinary expenses.

    I'm in the process of getting a dental implant that my insurance won't pay. I can afford to get a new tooth. Some less fortunate friends are walking around with missing teeth.

    @m3t00 it is actually insane that dental is not healthcare, that is something that really needs to be fixed
