The problem is that most people cannot afford it. Those who can only afford to get an HMO will get slightly substandard care, and those who cannot even afford an HMO will get barely any care at all. Those who can pay cash for the services they need will get the best care in the world.

Unfortunately for the United States, the World Health Organization ranks health care systems based on the care the average person receives. And that is why we receive such a low ranking.

Sorry, I knew that. My use of the word blinders wasn't in response to your post. We just have similar vocabularies...

I think a lot of Americans do believe the myths.

I also don't think that Michael Moore is trying to present a balanced view, he is trying to shock people into changing.

I am in Peru right now, doing a medical mission trip. Anyone who thinks the US medical system is not top notch is an idiot.

There. I said it. So shoot me.

The rest of what is included which the signs don't show is interesting as well.
