I thought this was kind of funny.  I knew the US healthcare system was bad........  I just can't believe he tried especially with a butter knife....

How does this suggest the US healthcare system is bad?

I typed about a paragraph out in my last post trying to explain my position on US healthcare system.  I believe they are too focused on treating symptoms and not the actual problem.  Most people can avoid prescription medication if they simple improve their lifestyle, yet USA citizens would rather pop a pill that probably has worse side effects than what it is supposed to treat.   They have been focused on treatment rather than prevention which is a terrible mistake.
