In a study that compared patients' ratings of health care in five English-speaking countries, the United States ranked last or second-to-last in patient safety, patient-centeredness, efficiency, effectiveness, and equity. Patients say doctors don't listen, aren't accessible, and don't give enough time. From fastcompany.comIt seems difficult to understand why a country that has trillions of dollars to spend on armaments, and fighting and killing others has so little to spend on the health and welfare of the very people who make up its citizenry.
In spite of the really awful way in which they are treated, the citizens of America, imbued as they are with patriotic fervour and with the almost messianic zeal to spread their democracy far and wide, still seem to find it difficult to understand why people in other countries not only don't want any part of their democracy, but actively oppose any attempt to impose such a democracy upon them.
The reality is that we don't want your health system, among other things.
