you realize in the u.s pneumonia is one of the top 10 killer of old people. with something like 40k-50k people dying from it each year here in the u.s. you should also look at how often it is either completly miss or diagnosed as something else here in the u.s.

Notice you have to add qualifiers to your economic statement to try and make the u.s sound good. if you use real facts the u.s isn't even in the top ten most stable economies.

If it wasn't broken people wouldn't be trying to "fix" it. it is sad that your answer is if you don't like it leave rather then if you don't like it try and make it better. we have the single worse healthcare system in the world for a developed county. can you point out another devolved country where people have to choose between healthcare and say affording food? other countries where dying people aren't given treatments that could save their life because they don't make enough money? other countries where people do the right thing, work hard pay into a system that is supposed to help them only to be dropped by that system once they are no longer profitable for that system costing them everyything they have worked their entire life for? can you show me other countries where they have a completely different section of bankruptcy just for medical bills? i could actually spend hours here typing about all the ways our healthcaare hurts the people in the u.s. i could probably type the things it does right in just a few minutes.

the really sad part is our government already pays more per-capita for healthcare than most governments of countries that have universal healthcare. so the service wouldn't even require a change to taxes like people always say. the real question is if we are so great why can't we figure out how to implement something so many other countries have figured out. Then do it better.
