It's not screwed up. Medical care in the USA is among the finest and
most advanced on the planet.

In some ways, yet we tend to lag in, of all things, information
technology, electronic medical records, electronic medication
prescriptions, etc. Among other results of this, is American doctors and
hospitals kill more patients through surgical and medical mistakes than
their counterparts in other industrialized nations.

It's just expensive and therefore not available to all. *That* is the
problem and that is what all this is about.

Yep, most expensive by far, but disregarding that, there is considerable
discrepancy in doctor's competency. We have some extremely capable
doctors, but unless you know someone in the profession, it's a crap shoot
selecting the good ones.
