I agree that the current US system isn't working. I also agree that the Canada and UK systems have their own problems. The US system has amazing capability, just not a funding model that provides it to all those who need it.

There was a report on our local news this weekend about personal bankruptcy in the US, and how much of it is caused by medical problems that insurance didn't cover. Same story here:
