Regardless of your opinions on the health care (insurance) debate, there are several things that cannot be denied. We spend almost twice as much on health care as other civilized countries, but have nothing to show for it. We're going to the local MB dealer(health insurance co's), paying for a new S class, and getting an entry level C class instead. Then there's the claim "we have the best health care in the world". If you're rich and insured, that could be true. For the average person or family, that's like saying the new Dodge or Ford diesel pickups are the best in the world, while what you can really afford is limited to a 20 year old Dakota or a worn out F 150. Eventually, something will probably be done, when the average family of four is paying more for health insurance than their principal, interest, and property taxes on their mortgage combined. That day is not too far off on the horizon.
