I keep hearing on the boob tube that the United States has the best health care in the world.
I'm not going to debate this question but I'm going to say flat out the US health care system stinks.
(1) A health care system can't be any good when one third of all states budgets are used for health care.
(2) A health care system can't be any good if it adds an expense on to industry. This was true even before the affordable healthcare act.
(3) A health care system can't be any good when it losing hospital beds. What happens if there is a terrorist attack or a pandemic.
(4) A health care system can't be any good when there are more doctors retiring then are coming into the system even as the population grows. There isn't enough money for teaching hospitals.
(5) A health care system isn't very good if it held hostage by politicians, even if some of those politicians are doctors.

Steve's barking some of my best friends are not politicians
I've met several politicians and most seemed like nice and intelligent people.
I have nothing against an assembly person who wants to fund the local senior citizens center and the daycare center down the block. I have nothing against the senator or congressman who fights for money for public transportation systems so that those who needed it the most can afford it. I just wounder why do these same people that I'm saying nice things about when you put a microphone in front of them sound like an idiots?
Is it because they need an extraordinary amount of money to run for office and they have to dumb down to the dummies to get their dough, maybe but they turn off.
Can one state that politicians are an abused minority?
I see on the boob tube some congress people talk about letters that they get from their constituents complaining that they are losing their health care because their insurance company stated they don't meet the standards for the affordable healthcare act. If the congress person was honest he (or she) would state that the constituent was lucky, the lowest tier on Obamacare is lame and probably not worth the money so one can only imagine a plan that doesn't meet those standards.
There are over 330 million Americans with ancestry from all over the world, I'll bet that our founding fathers couldn't fathom that.

Steve's barking the co-pays too high
Observation at the US health care system. If your a lower middle income person and you chose or given a high co-pay your not very likely going to go to the doctor, they have a hard time paying the bill. Now even if they got this plan from work or got from the exchange these insurance holders are just wasting their money.
I remember in the old days when I first started working (minimum wage) if I needed to go to the doctor it would;d cost me just a days wage, I didn't have health insurance that paid for doctors visits. Later as I moved up in the world I was given hospitalization insurance, with a health professional in the office. My how times have changed in the past 40 years.
