Hail away. You have many friends here.
[quote="USHealthCareStats"]The U.S. spends substantially more on health care than other developed countries. As of 2009, health spending in the U.S. was about 90% higher than in many other industrialized countries. The most likely causes are higher prices, more readily accessible technology, and greater obesity. Source: Kaiser Family Foundation, May 2012
In 2005, the United States ranked 30th in infant mortality. Singapore has the lowest rate with 2.1 deaths per 1000 live births, while the United States has a rate of 6.9 deaths per 1000 live births. Infant mortality is considered an important indicator of the health of a nation. Source: CDC, NCHS Data Brief, Number 23, November 2009HoolaHoopMan
But capitalism beats out socialism every time.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, another way to direct the conversation away from the smoldering ruins of your argument? Is your middle name tangent by chance?
Take a look at all the countries in any public health ranking. All of them have strong public health policies that include vaccinations and other regulations with regards to modern medicine.
The problem with the US is that the poor don't have adequate access to it like many individuals in other countries which is going to skewer averages. This is what happens when a large disparity in income equality arises. Its a product of our shitty system and mentality of spitting on the poor.
The US spends more, but still is 30th in infant mortality. Government doesn't buy number 1. First you praise government spending and policies that only take us to number 30. But now you think the system is shitty. Maybe, I, you know, you're just talking out of your ass?
