No its a healthcare system problem. Its not a problem with the actual healthcare - its a problem with the overall distribution and cost of that healthcare.

The US healthcare system is highly inefficient, and does not reach a significant portion of the population. As such it falls short of most other western nations by most measures in which healthcare is measured.


Also while I agree the US government has always seemed to me to be a bit of a disaster I don't see how they could possibly run a less efficient healthcare system than the private sector in the USA. It would take some doing.

So your ignoring the OCED report from the last time we had this argument... the one you used as a source but actually proved me correct?

As has to be mentioned in EVERY healthcare thread for some reason.  The WHO's measure of healthcare didn't involve any healthcare factors... and it was so poor they don't even measure it anymore.
