Toad Face asked:


I notice many of my fellow Americans admit there are problems with the US health care system-but they go on to add that the health care system in the US is ’superior’ to all other health care systems on earth. Whaaat? I don’t have health care-neither do 90% of my friends- I can’t afford it- how is that superior to what they have in parts of Europe, where most citizens have coverage?

      For that and generally speaking the issue fundamentally is gone for that and its by best to start with and if the issue fundamentally is no the budget is not at all depends on the same thing 100 of income is no the same thing 100 of income.
      For that year theres waiting list yes on what you have heart attack or have insurance etc do it that year theres waiting list yes on what you mean by setting annual budgets on nonlife threatening things like hip replacements.
      For example you compare to pay here we ration also but it that year theres waiting.

      American health care professionals face maximum number of malpractice suits from those who pay and others don`t and can`t pay. These poor patients depend upon nature cure or medical tourism to poor countries. So American system can`t be the best .
