U.S. scores dead last again in healthcare study


What are the criteriea being evaluated and who did the evaluation?



Go look it up. We have typically scored very low in all the standard
categories, esp. if you remember that we spend multiples of what those who
do better spend.



It makes you wonder why people travel here from all over the world to
get some of our inferior health care.


You're trying to make an argument that compares apples (the reasons why
we score so low) with oranges (the fact that people from anywhere with
$$$ get a different level of treatment).

You'd prefer to get the same level of treatment as no-insurance walk
ins? Surely you jest. You should move to the Bahamas. Every
inhabited island has a free health clinic staffed by a visiting nurse.

They are open several hours a week and treat everyone.

Or move to the Dominican Republic. The local pharmacist is also the
front line health care specialist. Walk in and tell the pharmacist
that you have a sinus infection. They will sell you a weeks dosage of
a broad spectrum antibiotic for $7. Off you go with a complete cure
in your hand for the price of 2 or 3 beers, and no delays for record
keeping, check ups or medical history.

Whoosh...right over your head...as usual.

For specialized operations and treatments we do great. For common stuff like
life-expectancy we rate at the 3rd World level. THAT makes you wonder.

No need to wonder...the best medical care in this country is reserved
for those who can pay for the most expensive medical care.

Radical, totally radical. People like you and I with good insurance
and disposable income get better care, radical.

I don't see you living in a single wide giving away your wealth so that
others can live a better life. Be the example Harry.

Sounds like you've identified your next New Year resolutions. Feel free to
not wait for Jan. 1st to start.

Does it hurt when you continually bang your head up against a wall?
