Correction. The young die because they were drunk and got in a car crash...or they were out at 3am after clubbing and got knifed.
Okay, here is the link to a Frontline story about how other countries deal with health care. If you're opinionated about health care and you haven't seen this story...keep your mouth shut.
The thing I find interesting is that here we have a bunch of "can't do's" (Beuhner comes to mind) who always complain about waste and excess administration. Yet, come to find out, our system, relative to other developed countries, is a system built on waste. Administrative costs here are about 22%. Most other countries are in the single digits. In the stock brokerage business, that's called churning. The more papers they push, the more they can charge. It's a racket, designed by the insurance companies, propped up by donation-grabbing politicians. A transfer of wealth from the average Joe to the executive class (big contributors). Isn't it obvious that "government takover" is a ruse? Keep your ears open because there is a figure mentioned... Something like x00,000 people go bankrupt in America each year because of health costs. That does not happen in successful countries. Some of those interviewed couldn't believe we were so stupid or backward. Kinda makes me wonder about people who keep calling this the "best country". It is so debatable.
